I've been an msft employee for a couple of years and teams... Was ok. I prefer slack, but meetings, video, messaging, formatting, etc. was just fine in teams.

You mean criptography and trust right?

Some examples, (Broadcom) Vmware NSX-T gateways, Alivaba used to use it, and a lot of extreme HFT use it too, mostly to reduce latency and manipulate tcp.

I don't see how doing any of this manually will help.

Of course if a company wants to ship you something linux-based is going to be brutally adultetred, or otherwise you might even be able to really own the thing and do whatever you want with it, which is very much the opposite companies want when they sell you something.

On point. Not every (sound) technical decision is monetizable.

The article completely handwaves that "gold mine" statement.

If there were any money to be made in linux desktop, it would have already happened imo, or otherwise the cost-opportunity is still to high.

If anything, more than a gold mine, looks like a gold sink to me

And don't get me wrong, been on arch for 7 years and i've long since ditched win. But I still don't think there's any meaningful incentives for companies to push for linux desktop.

If the linux desktop space is advancing so slowly is precisely and because of the opposite: because desktop linux is made and maintained by a bunch of people who do it for free.

Alas, valve has done a pretty good job with proton and steamdeck which is helping the ecosystem. here's to hoping wayland and nvidia drivers 555 with explicit sync[1] we might get something decent next few months.

Do you care if the owner cares about you squatting in his property?

If cheaper options are made less accessible or clearer, and customers are intentionally mislead to more expensive products, as a result they will pay more too.

Now the doctor has to put an appeal to explain medical necessity, I'm at his mercy.

I also don't know how applicable is making broad statements to europe as a whole in this specific regard. I feel cultural barriers have traditionally been pretty tall and what might be applicable to a country might not be applicable in the same timeframe to a neighboring one.

I'm going to be a father in a couple months and I'm observing most of my friends who did care about avoiding screens for their children give up partially on the idea because they've categorized it borderline impossible. I'm talking about parents who did deeply and seriously care about it prior having the kid.

Meanwhile I have two othwr friends who kinda got away with no screens. But i feel they do put a lot more effort for it.

So my take observing those samples: expectation management and be self-aware of how much sacrifice does it take.

If anyone has more adivice on this I'd appreciate too.

The fact that you need other metrics does not substract from OPs original point. It's still good and much better overall to handle a set of comprehensive metrics at infra level than to orchestrate every app.

About the coarsness, i think it's not really true. Proxies are freaking powerful and they do a lot of stuff at l7, too much in fact (look at envoy, jesus christ). That's one of the reasons why despite the insane complexity of service meshes, they are paramount for observability.
