The article is purely speculation based on the anecdotal evidence of one IBM acquisition "victim", someone who has been an IBM insider from what seems like pre-acquisition. The rest are smears on the direction of Fedora for changing their default filesystem on their workstation variant, for developing (not replacing anything with) Silverblue - an "immutable OS". The claim that the Btrfs push came from Facebook is rid…

> you paid Apple or whoever to make your phone so are you responsible for their conditions? Yes, absolutely, to some degree — do you think I'm not? Even if you don't think so, do you think Apple isn't to some degree responsible for the working conditions of nearly a million employees within the company that it knowingly contracts out to to produce about 200 million iPhones a year? Follow up question: Which American p…
> Happy to get back to that original subject if you are. Original point is: - RedHat has nothing to do with Silicon Valley - geographically nor culturally - RedHat isn't representative of typical Silicon Valley companies - IBM is more of a 'Silicon Valley' company than Red Hat, because it's an old traditional government contractor Therefore the original comment had it backwards, which is confusing. If you mean 'liber…
I didn't say that. I am a different person asking a different question. I recognize that it's a bit silly to call Red Hat a "Silicon Valley company" because they are not in Silicon Valley. Just like Microsoft isn't a Silicon Valley company.
My original question was in regards to this exact quote of yours:
> The Carolinas seem as far as you can get from Silicon Valley, culturally
And my question was:
> Why do you think that?
So far you have offered that "The Carolinas" are politically Republican and California is politically Democratic. However, (a) North Carolina's governor is a Democrat and (b) your original comparison was between Silicon Valley (a small geographic area) and "The Carolinas" (a much larger geographic area) — which does not seem like a fair or meaningful comparison.
Basically, due to the uniform nature of American culture and cities I think you'd be hard-pressed to identify many meaningful cultural differences between e.g. Raleigh, North Carolina and Mountain View, California. So I'm wondering if you have any unique insight to offer there or if you're actually just talking flippantly about something you don't actually know anything about, which is fine too.
