Yes IBM founder Thomas J Watson Sr is looking down from heaven wondering what the he-l happened to his IBM. He is a rags to riches story with many setbacks and challenges in his life including being about the #3 man at NCR and getting fired by a cantankerous CEO John Patterson who fired him and then put his desk outside and put it on fire for everyon [12:36] schestowitz[TR2] e to see. It was things like that which helped Watson create IBM with the 3 Basic Beliefs about "taking care of his men" that biscuit man Lou Gerstner G Man "put on fire" 4-1-93. Watson was born in upstate NY and always was loyal to it including Broome County. Clearing a big reason why Arvind was made CEO was to outsource 80% of IBM to India according to the wisdom of McKinsey (where G Man worked) where any job that could possibly [12:36] schestowitz[TR2] be done from India should be done in India or Costa Rica, or Bulgaria or Philippines, or any of the other offshore low cost labor places IBM think's is it's future.

    Big Changes Ahead for MX Linux 25
    [14:46] schestowitz[TR2]
    [14:46] schestowitz[TR2]

    One of the most notable shifts is the end of shipping both systemd and sysVinit on the same ISO. Up until now, MX Linux has relied on custom systemd-shim packages to offer users a choice between init systems at boot. But with the newer 6.12 kernels from Debian, that solution is no longer viable.
