@unexposedhazard @cm0002 Das sollte nicht so sein, symmetrische Ciphers sind schnell

@Evotech @cm0002 Systemd ist eine sch…e, es sagt parallel boot, aber es hat so viele unnötige interne Abhängigkeite, es ist praktisch single-threaded wie sysv. Runit is parallel, niemand nutzt es.

@thedormantotaku A possible side-effect that I remember as micro$oft “improved” its office outlook, maybe with office 2k3 or so. I hated that. Many, particularly the windows UI based companies, followed it. OpenOffice/LibreOffice intentionally ignored it. And I was a linuxer.

But young people can not really remember it.

@ikidd @cm0002 That you see very well. I know companies like this, not the HP, but many similar companies.

Most importantly, they have very strict regulations inside, who does what, who can communicate with whom. Unlikely that you would know anyone out of your direct team or department, except rare cases or if you are a really old employee there, maybe in some leading position.

If you would work at the HP, you would not even know the names of the guys who make the hostile decisions. Not only that talking with them about this would be the most serious violation, but you had no connection to them, like an outsider.

Second, in the unlikely case that you had any connection to them. There is an “internal language”. That is English on the surface, but not exactly. Word compositions have different or additional meanings for them. They never say, for example, “we do not publish our driver source code”. You can not say that in the internal company culture, they have no communication pattern for that. The closest what you could say, that would be some like increasing openness and user friendliness, or transparent technology or so.

If you would enforce the real meaning of the words, that would trigger defense mechanism in them. Mental and behavioral defense mechanisms. In the first layer, it simply would not be understood. A bit deeper, it would be misunderstood. Yet more deeply, they would attack you back, from behind.

Things would look exactly the same at the Apple, for example.

An evil company never declares itself evil. It only re-organizes, re-structures its moral standards. And it adapts the internal communication to that.

@thedormantotaku @Dr_Vindaloo Maybe I am an old boy. I have written a book with libreoffice writer. It had also embedded tables and libredraw pictures.

@Dr_Vindaloo Btw, actuall what made libreoffice/openoffice so hard to port to android?

@Dr_Vindaloo If it as on the github, how many people did fork it before? The source itself is still here, question is its license.

@gwl @HiddenLayer555 I use vim with no wrappers around it. My wrappers are command lines is other screens.

@carl_marks_1312 @yogthos “personal knowledge management”, what could it be?

NOTES? :-)

@qaz That is right! Looks they need a bugtracker, ideally a bugtracker integrated with the mailing list.

@robbo @cm0002 That would be only the form. The amount of tasks to process would not change. His mailing software has very likely a tree view or so.

@viov @pineapple That they are not fair et all. A really fair phone should start at that you can install its OS from a pendrive. Fairphone is a big f.g lie.

@auzy1 @Scoopta My problem with wine is that it can not work for most programs.

@misk What could maybe work: it should be made law, that 1% (or 10%) of all license cost paid by governmental organizations, must go into open source development, or services. The organization could freely choice, into what, and what it wants to get back.

@misk @not_IO Normally it silently fails on the wall of stupidity, and on the silent, cooperative undermining of the local microsoft activists in all departments. You can be sure, they do not want to learn “yet another system”, they want to retire as a windows sysadm. And they work as a workplace mafia.

Sadly I can not see any good in this direction. Hope I see it badly!

@auzy1 @spicehoarder Apple is far more evil as microsoft was ever… it is only smaller.

@Redjard @cm0002 Can it be used to root android?

@sbeak Problem of the BSD license is that it can be forked and closed… macos was once a BSD…

@Sxan @Johnnyvibrant I installed linux to my company laptop as an “emergency” because my windows became unbootable, then somehow it remained, sadly ;-)

I know it was risky, but there was a point of the revolt.

I knew that the same stupidity and generally depressive mentality, which prevents my boss to directly call me about it (I actually did not even had a boss), so the same won’t likely tolerate it.

Until I do not make it too open. Doing the same well visibly, it had probably not been tolerated.

@cdzero @viov Btw, Ubuntu mobile is long ceased to exist, what is this ubuntu touch thing now?
