So, a couple of weeks ago, I was pinged about a job - it turned out to be, according to the contact, a consulting gig working on a "linux" job with ex microsoft employees who "still work with the teams".

schestowitz

Below is most of the conversation, some redacted.

schestowitz

The end result was the hiring manager was xxxxxx xxxx - the guy featured in this article https://www.wired.com/1999/10/microsoft-lambastes-linux/

schestowitz

Microsoft Lambastes Linux

schestowitz

Now, they are working on an effort using Linux. I was like - Pass... but also interesting is how little is even considered about our culture...

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.wired.com | Microsoft Lambastes Linux | WIRED

schestowitz

like - why is using github and issue.

schestowitz

Not sure - maybe there's more information about the effort of the ex msft employees and linux there.

schestowitz

This is all I know... so, sharing.

We already have daily aggregations, updated at 0000 and 1200 UTC

Techrights-sec

See the above gemini link. If the day aggregation pages are published after

Techrights-sec

midnight then they'll be up to date for the previous day.

Or does the feed he is talking about have to be the same URL every day? That's doable too.

It would be a minor tweak to have a "yesterday's links' page

A lot has been said there and it is not appear worth commenting further.

schestowitz__

It is a bit like for the legality of ViCo. There are apparently two visions which are manifestly not on the same wavelength.
