The casings were engraved with groyper memes, yes.

So... To you, hate towards a group of people, and hate of a person spreading hate for a group of people - thats the same thing to you?
You see absolutely zero difference between "this person did awful things" and "all 'x' people are awful by nature of being born as 'x'"?
And you want me to reflect on my thoughts?
Wow. Those are some wild leaps.
Enjoy your day, I have no interest in anything more with you.
Are you equating:
- People taking a job where you wear a mask to cover up because the shit youre doing has been considered illegal for decades
- People taking a job where you knowingly ruin government programs that millions of people rely on
With:
- People saying "Charlie Kirk was hateful and inspired violence"
?
The trouble is, once the parent company starts merging some departments, shareholders often push to merge more departments.
Especially since they are talking about all the money they will save cutting jobs.
Based on the time frames for this, I'm going to guess by the end of 2026 the engineering team will shrink, followed by a 2027 announcement of merging departments for better management, and RedHat basically be just IBM entirely by 2028.
If I still had any servers on RH for work, I'd be planning my moves right about now (personally I started the shift after the 2023 announcement on source code availability, finalized the last three servers in June actually).
Really quite a shame to see how things have changed.
Anyway, I'd suspect there are at least a couple years left before its a mess.
Whoops! Brain no worky.
Fixed, thanks!
I take this to be "damage done, team isn't needed anymore, mission accomplished".
Legal, hr, finance, and accounting is now IBM, and IBM has noted job cuts as part of the cost savings in its profit forecasting.
Engineering, product, sales, and marketing are not making any changes - yet.
I would note that IBM is also now pushing its "enhanced AI" support over speaking with actual people, unless you have an upgraded support tier. Basic support tier can also no longer escalate cases.
I would agree in not needing to rush anywhere, but I would have to say this looks like the start of enshittification for sure.
Lidarr + Picard when needed is about all I do, need for Picard is pretty rare at this point, except when pulling in tracks from burned CDs of esoteric mixes I made quite a long time ago.
Casings, not bullets. Also all groyper memes/references.
"Why do you hate oil? Youre a radical leftist communist socialist anarchist antifa!"
I dunno, I feel like you can make anything seem political if you have no morals or values. Just look at how they treat people who are trans.
I still have mine! And several other models along the way, right up until I finally went DSLR with a rebel.
Now I've got a slew of lenses (especially ooold ones) and a crapton of adapters so I can stick em on my Fuji. Really thinking about getting a full frame, but...
Now I kind of want to take a little pocket camera out for fun shots
