From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Another good lesson about why we should trust only FOSS ecosystems

Look, it's a low level employee of a faceless corporation!

GET 'IM!

Jokes aside, thanks for the transparency, and salute to you and your coworkers for trying to weather the storm caused by "shifting paradigms"... that's what they call it, right? I know the execs can shift my paradigm, that's for sure.

Peace and love.

Tech in general but especially the game industry desperately needs to unionize. If the last couple years doesn't convince tech bros they're just as expendable as all the other working class out there, idk what will. Got to do something to insulate us from "restructures", "rightsizing", and "company resets"
