I have one dream for Linux. I’m a huge OSS fan and I want to see it thrive.
I think Microsoft should partner with Oracle to make Oracle Linux 9 support all the Microsoft ecosystem. I want AD in Linux. I want Microsoft Word on Linux. Oracle Linux 9 is the obvious successor to RHEL and Microsoft has an opportunity here to build something great.
Lmao just kidding
Remember when Google hired brilliant, talented engineers to build quality products?
Those were the days.
Okay all you commies get ready for politics 101
First don’t rely on morals to make your argument. It, unfortunately, does not change capitalist minds.
Second, frame your argument in capitalist rhetoric. For example you can say, “UBI is important to stimulate the economy by enabling Low-Income-Americans to spend more on essentials.”
Seriously, not joking, this is how you change people’s minds.
Tell them you did something unverifiable but technical.
“I started a game studio with a buddy from college. No, sorry, I don’t have a TIN (tax identification number [IRS])”
Give them a number to a burner phone and fake an accent.
“Tom? Yeah we worked together at ___ I felt like he was a great guy to work with.”
Tell them you were deathly sick.
“Yeah I had skin cancer. Nothing major but I had to take it easy and after beating it we all went on vacation to celebrate”
Tell them you lived the software engineer dream life
“After leaving my last job I wanted a change of pace so I went to become a bartender in Melbourne. It was all under the table”
This is probably the third meme in two days where the top comment says it’s not a meme.
