| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> He emphasized that the changes proposed by Overstreet were not merely fixes but substantial new developments that also altered non-bcachefs files.

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Aug 27 13:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>It’s happening! This is not a drill! The alpha version of COSMIC, our new desktop environment for Pop!_OS and other Linux distros, has been released. COSMIC adds new features, customization, performance, stability, and security. Its “alpha” state adds bugs. Bug reports are welcome, as are screenshots of your custom themes and panels. </p> | Aug 27 13:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> To make sure people are as excited about COSMIC as we are, it was essential to give it the best impression we could. Even for an alpha, most features required for daily use needed to feel polished. However, you’re bound to come across some breaking bugs before the official release, so we advise you hold off on using COSMIC for production use for now. </p> | Aug 27 13:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> Here’s how to try it. </p> | Aug 27 13:34 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | If anyone was taking off with a golden parachute leaving the smokin' ruins behind, the suggestion would be to look over one's shoulder regularly for the eventual someone or something to show up. Things have a way of catching up with ya. Just look at what happened at those nice folks at Enron or "Chainsaw Al" at Sunbeam. Plenty more examples like that all over Wall Street. | Aug 27 14:40 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @jqp+1uchUSVh "What's R&D doing?" - yeah. That's what's going to ki-l IBM long term. You can't /just/ live on legacy sales - but you /can/ look like a business genius for increasing profit year-on-year by cutting your development orgs unsustainably - and then naffing off with a golden parachute before things go bad... not that I'm suggesting AK would do that, naturally. | Aug 27 14:40 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I worked with a few of the China team in Systems (now Infrastructure) back in the day. I know they've got a... complicated... political climate, but the engineers weren't bad - and we were generally able to keep them together more than our India team (who, because of the apparently low salaries IBM paid, often would end up rotating out to other companies once they got their minimum term served). | Aug 27 14:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It's always frustrating training someone across international timezones and language barriers, for them to leave 3 months later. The India team had some really bright people in it too - just they never stuck around. | Aug 27 14:40 |
