we have success with 39 but we're introducing more focused agents and a smart router because we see the writing on the wall among other things (benefits)

for what it's worth, I'm familiar with the folks running this and they're highly competent.

There are tons of phones supported by postmarketos, you can use sxmo with any of those as well. But I have a pinephone, I'm "one of those people"

Yeah it seems like this guy explicitly doesn't understand the licenses but will go tell people things they cannot do under the licenses anyway. Weird.

Yeah I meant I wouldn't side with anyone that thinks it's acceptable to do what they did to my dad. I still mean that. Showing me some other examples does nothing, and modern unions largely think more of what happened to my dad should happen.

At least they can reliably compare society's idea of red to their own but I'm pretty sure people's ability to think of red as things outside the rgb gamut is likely diminishing over time.

I feel like maybe this is a consequence of fatherlessness? Just guessing, since my dad's the one that taught me not to publicly ridicule my boss. People take different paths though, so no telling.

When I was learning to walk, my dad was installing conveyors for an automotive factory - he was vp of engineering (later robotics) for a large engineering firm that Siemens ultimately bought.

He was trying to get the job finished and get home to his family, so he was working late one night double checking the fit on all the nuts, bolts, anything he could check to ensure the job was successful. He did this all the time, I learned how to successfully deliver product from seeing him do it.

A gang of union guys came up to him and threatened to beat him if he continued to work because he was taking a union job away from "the pipe guy", call him Frank.

My dad says "that's fine, can frank come help?"

"Frank's out sick"

And that was that. He either stopped getting the job done or they would visit violence upon him.

I'll never side with people that think this is acceptable behaviour.
