10 Days Ago Red Hat Formally Terminated Employment of About 500 Technical Workers (the Media Didn't Mention This)
Nobody mentioned this in July:
By all means note that this was 17 weeks ago, exactly 5 days before my wife and I were summoned to attend a hearing in a distant city because 'former' Red Hat staff and pusher of Microsoft's back doors had spent over 96,000 pounds or about $130,000 - as he's American - asking the British state to put myself and my wife in prison (they effectively lost).
Since then IBM's rapid collapse has accelerated further and the "next step" is the "final solution" (secretly killing jobs and voices of terminated staff, not just sites that platform whistleblowers from IBM).
IBM is a dying company hellbent on "killing" inconvenient voices.
Consider that IBM has a long history when it comes to genocide and eugenics. IBM is nowadays run by military people and days ago Red Hat boasted about its US military connects (in its official blog; it is not a new problem).
Give it a year or two and little will be left of what we now know as "Fedora" (not a community anymore) and "Red Hat".
"National Market was whitespace accounts - customers who have limited spends for IBM products and services," someone wrote less than an hour ago (around the same time the above was posted to social control media on a Sunday). The comment prior to it said: "The SMB and Intel marketplace abandoned IBM for LINUX solutions 10 years ago and they have not looked back [...] The sooner IBM acknowledges this, the sooner IBM will stop wasting efforts on lost causes" (many RHEL users have already abandoned IBM/Red Hat).
IBM has nothing left to do except fire people (in secret) whilst attacking sites that give these people a voice. It also uses NDAs to silence critics who don't work for IBM.
IBM is a very vicious, nasty company. Please don't surrender to its charm offensives, PR, and "sponsorships" (bribes with strings attached). IBM is run by cheating sociopaths drunk on power. IBM is also trying to 'monetise' software patents, which it has long lobbied for. █
