QAnon conspiracies dictating health policy is OK, but making incentives race jokes is too much. Got it!

Not as much as the lawyers, I am sure.

Thx for the info. I think SpaceX has a bigger construction/manufacturing operation compares to other launch providers who tend to oursource most of that work.

Pretty dire numbers as a significant portion are not high risk jobs.

Just playing devils advocate for a moment. Not saying that SpaceX should be doing everything it can for worker safety.

But how do these numbers compare against similar industries like construction or fabrication?

I don't have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.

I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.

Its all vibes and manipulation

I think it should be: "Software that is yours"

Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.

Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?

Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?

How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?

Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.

The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve's push in gaming.

Can we start a class action lawsuit in the international criminal court for the USA running a biological warfare program now?

Intel started running into trouble 15 years ago when they appointed CFO leadership as CEOs. They eroded 20 years of engineering leadership for the sake of "stakeholder value". They also destroyed the company culture that made them successful and replaced it with MBA corporate BS.

You can't rebuild that overnight. You basically need to start over.

Or they are gearing up to sell, so they pull this stunt to make their subscription numbers look better, before the cancellations start rolling in.

For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.

Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.

Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.

The problem is the bulk of it is going to Nvidia.
