Capitalism distilled.

@thomasfuchs and yet so satisfying still

Rumor but from a source… Broadcom is telling all H1B engineers in VMWare that they have to either move “home” or be laid off without severance. Effective nearly immediately.

Pure cruelty.

@thomasfuchs if we’re honest, it can replace most MBA and “management consultants”

@thomasfuchs “my” seems suspicious here.

The #1 contributor to Linux' rise, was AT&T's assinine lawsuit.

As someone who was quite involved in UNIX and BSD in the early and mid 1990s, it's really exhausting watching the massive Linux-washing that goes on about how "Linux was the first open source OS".

It wasn't even the first from northern Europe.

@thomasfuchs truly some things are unknowable.

H/t to @CubeApril

@thomasfuchs as the saying goes... you know what they call a table of 10 people with 1 nazi? A table full of nazis.

@thomasfuchs seems appropriate in the same week Peter Schickele passed

@thomasfuchs and now I have to pull out my copy. Yay!

@thomasfuchs I mean, if you look at it by pound, it's... cheaper than a Macbook Air.

@thomasfuchs

Everytime someone says "I voted 3rd party" at the national level in the US, I know they're delusional and either completely ignorant of how the system is structured, or malicious in a way that's really only possible with enormous privilege.

No third-party candidate will ever win at the national level. Ever. Yes, the system sucks, so work on fixing the system, and practice harm minimization until then.

This.

@thomasfuchs typically that’s the sign I obviously need another.

@thomasfuchs also… :gestures at private keys, massive diesel guzzling yachts: there’s individual responsibility arguments for the wealthy. But the average person? Zero impact incrementally.

@thomasfuchs I think it says more about what many people perceive to be intelligence than anything else.
