Time and place. The hours sucked, the system we supported was worse, and we made sure it worked regardless. Place was lowkey toxic but in a comradery kind of way. I agree though. Assuming people dont know, especially cuss words, is asking for it lol

I had a bilingual coworker that, after a customer came with a complaint, would turn to me and say “this asshole can suck my dick” in spanish and i would just nod thoughtfully like some important piece of information was given to troubleshoot with.

Shit was so funny. Very rude but i still laugh at that.

Ive never had coworkers talking meaninggully behind someones back in another language, and yeah thats rude too.

I have been the only people talking english somewhere and i felt rude for that.

Whether any of this rudeness justfies work place punishment or should or shouldnt be allowed just depends on the job.

State owned to mean public owned depends on the robustness of the democratic pratices of the state to me

“They” just doesnt seem to be the average Chinese citizen.

Ive always liked Andy. Litterally means masculine but has never felt heavy handed. Also while manly men it is also an accepted unisex name

Arguably anything critical shoulf have the appropraite level of SLA on it, but every dollar spent on opensource is an investment vs money going towards renting it.

Suse is the only fully FOSS and first party commercially supported distro i know. They are international but HQed in Germany.

Debian and arch are fully FOSS and community ran.

Ubuntu is commercially supported but requires unsupported retooling to move away from non-foss snap packages. They are UK head quarted.

RHEL is probaly the market leader but mosy obvious against this goal since they are US HQed AND they EULA is antiFOSS.

PopOS is FOSS, commerically supported but HQed in the US and a bit smaller of a company.

SUSE, Debian, and Arch are my recommendations for third party supported distros because of their natures though of being very popular AND FOSS.

Again though the framing that it will free as in free beer is not a good one to me, support, devolopment and maintaince are real total coat of ownership factors to consider BUT FOSS does make those costs investments in truely publically owned and controlled systems and allow for greater choice in who supports it and flexibility in cost (if a government program cant afford a year of support they program can continue legally without paying anything, though with more assumed risk).

They are the only dectralized cloud computing platform i know, with BIONIC, pedals.ai, and kobald.ai all being being very application specific and no privacy in them.

That said i also didnt like the UX and so i havent really used them
