Bud it’s 2024 you can inherit anything you want from Trump to Biden, but it’s literally the end of his term. Trumps to blame for Covid. Happened on his watch. Bidens to blame for the economy. Happened on his watch.

Some nice points you make are not lost on me. But there comes a time where you have to take things at face value.

If systems begin to drop support for the previous technology you run into incompatibility problems across the board

I’ve had Linux pop OS on a USB and ran it for about a year and a half total before switching on and off to windows. I think it’s one of the few OSes that actually work on all my devices even obscure thinkpads. I’d still use it today however -

My issues with Linux as a whole stem from absolutely trash antivirus and auditing perspective. Windows suffers this in many ways but I think they’re a live service rather than a static service. I’ll give an example, we’re getting bitlocker encryption with backup support keys etc in case a user gets locked out of a device on all devices very soon in W11h24 I believe, as a default. Pop OS comes with disk encryption but if I forgot my password or what have you, or even want to make a USB encryption key to unlock the device if I forgot it, I’d be in trouble. There’s an element of user friendliness that OSX and Windows have, that Linux just doesn’t have. I get scared running these open source applications when we’re essentially in a Cold War and I need to depend on them for my business. Especially if the apps are developed in JavaScript there’s so many dependencies I can’t verify. I can use portmaster and some log trailing to sift it but something about it feels like I am still not secure.

This is my first time hearing stakeholder primacy as a term. Can you elaborate on what the grounds you’d sue the stakeholders on? Ie what is the legal premise that you’re proposing you can hold them accountable for?

I agree with this and I’m glad we have graphene OS at the same time for the moments when I no longer want this to be the default option.

I hope to see more reasonable takes like this - weighted with reality, not just reinforcing what people want to hear.

How is the west white supremecy? You sound like a racist when you say that and it hurts your credibility, especially in a larger conversation about some of the other points you mention.

Go walk into a tech building in the west in the USA and you’d find that white people are a fraction of the workers present, and even then it’s European transplants also in the office. It is unironically very diverse. Teams I worked on were not strictly white people or majority white. And taking it even further - why be racist in the first place?

IMO all I’ve seen are massive layoffs in tech so, I’m all set with what Biden is offering. There was no attempt to fix the actual problem with student loans which is that they’re a broken system, he just forgave a portion of the people who had issues today, which means we’ll have the same issues later again.

Trump was only better in the sense that at the time his economy was great to get a job in, in tech, in the US.

What are we even doing man. When I read headlines like this it’s just embarrassing to be a US citizen.

They’re tasked with infinitely growing their stock price. That is a suicide job. Working big tech in the USA sucks right now because there’s no concept of just maintaining and maintaining something well, unless you’re Valve and steam
