Tech bros and corpo sales drones trying to throw a "hip" pizza party where people can see them get out of their beemers and where they can pretend to have hobbies and souls by being "fun."

Cookie cutter, middle class grind culture mating grounds where people dress up to get drunk overpaying for booze while they fail to hit a golf ball and post about how zany they are on the gram'

Agreed. The media is the message. I watched most of the video and it was fascinating in a way an article would not be, largely because the video isn't just a description of a piece of art, but rather a piece of art on its own.
An article could still be interesting and maybe excellent, but it's an oddly entitled thing to demand that someone offering you art go find a different type of art you like better.
Duh, people can fuck whoever they want. As usual, there may be consequences.
What I dont want is to work for a liar that's breaking contracts and fucking people over. Once you find out that's happening, you need to realize that it's probally not isolated behaviour.
If they are willing to do this to their wife, someone who can actually impact their life, they will probably not think twice about fucking you over, someone who cant impact them at all.
Let me put it more succinctly: if the king is willing to behead his wife, hes not going to be concerned about your head staying attached either.
This mod comment is in contrast to your previous mod comment, where you were publicly weighing the commentors status in the community to gauge whether to take fair action.
While I agree with OP, I'm glad to see "if yoire a dick, you get treated equally" win out.
A ceo that's fucking his employees is probally fucking his employees.
It also makes working for the company a punch line on your resume.
"Ohh, you worked for Astronomy? Wasn't that the company where the CEO got cuaght fucking around at a Coldplay concert?"
The above may be a good or bad ice breaker at future interviews, but its still something you may have to deal with.
Sure dude. The above is why desktop Linux already dominates the businesses world. Everything is cloud based, which is why Linux desktop share is at 99% across all businesses, and not 6% across portable gaming consoles and nerd's home PCs.
It's not worth arguing with you when you're making ridiculous assumptions and stating clear hyperbole.
Most businesses have Windows apps that are used all day every day
You're mistaken.
I'm absolutely not, and arguing the point is hilarious.
You're really trying to say that millions of businesses, employing billions of people, in thousands of industries ,are "totally just using browsers, bro."
Come the fuck on.
The vast majority of people interact with workstations every day? I don't think the vast majority of people have office jobs on earth, but I won't belabor the point.
Those people that use a computer at work are using windows, or in rare cases, macs. Linux is almost non existent because the work ecosystem isn't there, and likely wont be there because of office suites and other tooling.
No one uses Office applications on their local machines anymore.
Hilarious. Guess I'll let the thousands of people I work with who I know use Office via an app know they dont exist.
Matter of fact, a large majority of all work is done in the browser. Computers have, for a long time, been glorified Facebook machines. Look at how many people use Chrome OS that doesn't even support any local software at all...
Yeah to facebook machines, which is why most people don't have PCs anymore when phones will do. The above doesnt apply to buisnesses, and im honestly baffled that you think it does.
Most businesses have Windows apps that are used all day every day, generally numbering in the hundreds or thousands depending on the scope of the enterprise.
Since they will stick on Windows because of this, and there are no more home pcs out there outside the gamer/nerds/granniss, the rapid Linux gain will drop off again, and that's okay. The Linux eco system is vibrant, accessible and interesting. That's enough.
Workstations are used at work, which is the main gist of my comment above.
Linux has picked up the low hanging fruit, i.e nerds and gamers who have actual computers at home. It wont win over some mythical "everyday home computer user" because they dont exist anymore.
For Linux to truly "snowball," it needs a serious, fully seemless office replacement that has to be better than "odt by default" libreoffice. Until it can pick off the office clients, it will not win.
Still, it doesn't need to. Pick up that nerd/gamer/granny dont care how she gets to chrome subset. That's fantastic for linux, and will still drive innovation enough.
That isn't Windows only advantage. It is "easier" to use in the sense that it has less choices, especially if you have been using it in business for decades. You know it well enough to get around, with no concerns about different app names/icons/etc. Im not talking about chrome ot adobe either, im talking "what is the folder program called and why does it look like that" problems.
Most people give no shits about computers. They use what they know, if they use it at all. It's why "phones and the occasional tablet" are by far the majority of most people's home computers now.
Linux wont win until it wins offices. That will be where the snowball starts. The greay thing though is linix doesnt need to "win." It can just be excellent and continue to be a much needed check on capitalism's race to constrain our freedoms by enshittifing everything they can for profit.
This wasn't a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That's still in "we are a family" territory, but its a bit out of scope.
Your point seems to be that "all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever." I think that's more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.
Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.
