Almost 3 Days Later, Still Zero Press Coverage (Except One Publisher) About Mass Layoffs at Red Hat, Almost 500 People Laid Off (Over 400 for Sure)
"A document posted by FOSS advocacy site Techrights appears to be that memo and explains that Red Hat has devised a location strategy under which it has identified key sites for prioritized hiring and strategic workforce investment." -Only a few hours ago (nearly midnight on Friday)

We Need More ‘Muckrakers and Fewer Buck-Takers’
Fifty years ago, Carl Jensen founded Project Censored because he knew that journalism was the lifeblood of democracy. He argued that the news media, despite its increasingly corporate and commercial nature, can have a positive influence on the world, especially when it operates ethically and independently in the public interest. He encouraged journalism programs at colleges across the country to turn out “more muckrakers and fewer buck-takers.”
Noteworthy: The spouse of Red Hat's Garrett (who started harassing me in 2012 because I criticised his paymaster for his paymaster's Microsoft promotion) has repeatedly called him rapist this year. His response? Boasting he wants to put in prison the people who correctly pointed out that his own spouse has repeatedly called him rapist this year. Microsoft's Graveley later helped him drain our legal budget, denying us access to legal representation. This is lawfare and next Tuesday our government will grill the SRA, the fake 'regulator' that does not regulate what it (itself) called "hired guns", in effect acknowledging the problem while in practice doing nothing to solve this problem. █
