I left a long time ago while they would entertain my classmates of new features I had been using for 4 years. Everyone thought I was embarrassed when the MS rep told me they had to look at legal consequences before adding features that could be patented by others when I asked why they hadn’t added a menu of WiFi access points, yet I sat there wondering how our open source community built so much and took care of each other in collaboration. I understood they had to be careful to not get sued, but they also thrived in that world for competition rather than selling services.

I guess the little options of a pull down terminal by hotkey and a specific colorizing transparency are the only GUI things I look to from Yakuake and Konsole, but so many things can be accomplished internally. I love learning to think on the command line and creating things. I feel blessed and ingenious to just take care of things like a lot of servers or databases when needed where there isn’t a tool around to solve an issue using terminal utilities all building a secure and helpful solution. I can just create my own customizations and setup or borrow from others’, including AI connections, in BASH and ZSH. It’s been years between needing a new tool or change, and the last one was only converting from BASH to ZSH because of people’s good work in customizations I liked.

Exactly why I wonder where our business school ethics go when it seems to me that value is only placed on what can be tied to everyone’s income and profit being the ‘sole’ provider for it, and any Engineer’s ethics being a nice thing for their own time. What would happen if we switch it up to Engineers being in charge who actually learn to make the product and the business side being the client of it rather than the other way around? Could the world be a better place? This doesn’t mean every engineer or either group as a monolith is good or bad. Just that maybe in economics we can see who may value externalities even in capitalism as Adam Smith seemed to promote over just profit.

Seems the same with State unemployment benefits too, just maybe not as deadly.

The worst of all issues to me was any interruption working to help feed people or the destitute immediately has a 5 second skip, while all else has 59, 30, 20, 14 skip. There was no benefit for good externalities, just cost and profit. I was even ok with ads around 5 seconds and that they can even show up before watching a video. Adding the countdown was a nice touch too. It’s when it gets in the way of UI/UX, how you have to suffer through the same commercial over and over, interrupting a video at critical moments, and ending videos with an ad so that you don’t know if the video is ended that it gets awful to use. I would hope someone gets to making it 5 second ads that don’t take away from the experience.
