This is a completely human response to the horrible things happening the world both domestic and abroad.
It’s also history repeating itself: doing nothing when bad things are happening in our communities is what allows them to happen.
Think what the villages around the concentration camps must have known and yet did nothing.
Sure you could just focus on tech. You alone can’t stop Donald Trump or Stephen Miller from their racist move toward autocracy usurping norms and the world order … but you can join in with others who are trying to make a difference.
Apathy is a human emotion to such dire things. But we are better than that.
Lots of true things about do-nothing managers in this thread. There are, however, managers that help teams achieve more than they would without them. People leadership and stewardship is a soft skill that’s still important so long as we have people doing the engineering.
I’ve had some amazing managers that were engaged and did more than go to and from meetings. And I’ve had some that improved things vastly just by leaving the room.
I ran it for a while it’s nice. Easy as breathing ZFS on root and zfsbootmenu is really nice. Also the userland is maintained in connection with the kernel (or something to that extent) and it’s just a nice solid whole.
What a hilariously sad legacy that would be for DJT to forever be known for if he pissed off our allies so much and was such a garbage leader that dollar domination died with his legacy.
I wanted to set this up but then the thought of all the useful dbus stuff and device stuff and just all the nicities I take for granted with a mainstream OS … it seemed too daunting and I bailed. I’m 39 still haven’t done it yet and I saw this project maybe 20 years ago or something like that.
Basic facts taught in economics 101 validated. News at 11.
And yet everyone who voted for the pumpkin idiot don’t believe it. They think 2 plus 2 is 30T enough to pay off the debt. Idiots. The lot of them and anyone here who voted for this. I said it. And I’ll say it again. The man is enacting project 2025 and ruining the country and some of you are laughing giddily while it burns.
