I think it should be: “Software that is yours”
Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.
Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?
Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?
How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?
Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.
The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve’s push in gaming.
Intel started running into trouble 15 years ago when they appointed CFO leadership as CEOs. They eroded 20 years of engineering leadership for the sake of “stakeholder value”. They also destroyed the company culture that made them successful and replaced it with MBA corporate BS.
You can’t rebuild that overnight. You basically need to start over.
Or they are gearing up to sell, so they pull this stunt to make their subscription numbers look better, before the cancellations start rolling in.
For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.
Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.
Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.
The problem is the bulk of it is going to Nvidia.
Market shows that the market buys into hype, not value.
You can blame his leadership who did not authorise the additional time and cost for sandbox testing.
That’s because cloudstrike likely has significantly worse leadership compared to your company.
They have a massive business development budget though.
It’s likely not an intern’s fault. Likely a C suite not authorizing the testing infrastructures requested by the developers and sysops people.
Way too many. It’s not the 90’s or early 2000s anymore.
It’s outside the primary failure domain.
Because the windows OS is inherently insecure with lots of permission elevation opportunities.
We also backup our bitlocker keys with our RMM solution for this very reason.
What amazes me is that so many big companies still use windows in critical core infrastructure.
Windows endpoints is one thing, but anyone using windows servers and MSSQL for mission critical application stacks need to be hit with the modernization hammer.
And then on top of that, they do not have a test rollout of any changes in a test environment, before rolling it out in the production stack.
Good luck to all the engineers in the trenches, having to fix the mistakes of their leadership.
Valve is an excellent example of a sustainable tech company. It’s not on the growth at any cost, boom and bust cycle
I think this strategy makes sense, if you do an overall push to have all software sources verified. Knowing users, a simple warning that an app is unverified rarely affects their behaviour. You need to hide the app, to encourage app developers to get verified for it to work. Users ideally should be able to trust by default, because we can’t trust them to know any better.
Exactly. Linux mint is one of the few distros that really follow through that their users may not be proficient.
It’s why it’s my business distro of choice.
Processing is done on the device and only text is uploaded. Streaming audio would also be easy to detect.
I don’t have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.
I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.
