Use Gentoo, add -telemetry to FLAGS, so every software will be built without it - no spyware.

You can /s me later.

Reminded me how Windows would set the hardware clock to different timezone that Linux uses, can't remember which.

It would make my blood boil, that's when I decided to never boot it again. 100% Linux everywhere, I get it on routers when I can.

I will never expect Windows to respect any preference. Updates burnt me too many times.

Linux for life.

Not anymore I'm not, you are correct.

Also wrote that earlier.

Remember the South Park movie, when they wanted to invade, and when their visualisation failed, called for Bill Gates?

I tried to get our team to move to Matrix when COVID hit and there was no infrastructure for remote work.

It was such a shame that it was that exact time Jitsi had issues with Firefox (which most of us use), so we couldn't videochat.

If Jitsi had that resolved immediately, we perhaps could have used something open for at least couple of years. Maybe others would follow suit.

Oh well. Teams it is.

But I also harp a lot to my superiors about donating to open-source projects we utilize, make loads of money thanks to them, yet never give anything back.

I kinda get that some projects with limited backing can't "get their shit together", when successful users don't give them anything. It's a stupid pattern, and I hope we can break it.

I don't think that is necessary, as some companies do actually help, either with money or even dedicated staff, which can be as good or better.

We should push for developers to promote the idea of more help towards FOSS projects, maybe find some hours a month, or send any money saved from not paying for licenses.
