Point it out explicitly in your resume. Don't expect them to figure out your github activity on their own.

It's definitely better to have open source experience than no experience.

I think technically what they sell is services related to RHEL and not it itself (correct me if I'm wrong).
To me at least, a big problem with it is the hypocrisy. RHEL started itself by repackaging another piece of software. Why is it not OK for others to do the same to them? Especially when the gpl license allows that, and requires them to allow that!

The Linux license allows anyone to distribute it for profit (under certain conditions). If I wanted to sell CDs with the Linux kernel I could. Wouldn't be a good business, but I could.

Twitter's rate limit changes have led to the death of third-party apps like Apollo

Apollo?

Twitter implemented a rate limit to manage their infrastructure migration to Raspberry Pi

Raspberry pi?

Elon Musk is supposedly fighting against the CIA and NSA, who are using Twitter for censorship

Wha...?

I doubt they run on windows tbh. If they take issue with with monolithic design of Linux, then windows would be an even bigger problem.

Also, most of the devices in question are probably small controllers, incapable of running windows. (Microsoft are struggling to run it on arm so...)

That makes sense, and yeah I imagine the problem isn't the entertainment system.

I just don't get the the last paragraph. I don't know if using Linux affects their code being OS or not. If they're just running it on top of Linux and not modifying it, it probably won't be a GPL violation to keep it closed.

https://www.linux.com/news/boeing-joins-the-elisa-project-as-a-premier-member-to-strengthen-its-commitment-to-safety-critical-applications/

ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) Project announced that Boeing has joined as a Premier member, marking its commitment to Linux and its effective use in safety critical applications. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, ELISA is an open source initiative that aims to create a shared set of tools and processes to help companies build and certify Linux-based safety-critical applications and systems

I imagine this means they're contributing both actively and financially to Linux.

on Best Distro for Laptops? · c/linux · 1 pts · 3y

Some thinkpads have official support for Ubuntu by the manufacturer (lenovo), which means battery optimizations out of the box, amongst other things. Might be relevant for your laptop.

I could be wrong. I'd be happy to be shown wrong. Always room to learn.

Generally when I hear cyber security I think of things like data breaches, vulnerability research, malware analysis, netsec, appsec... Stuff like that.

I'm actually not really sure where I'd have posted. I remember seeing a meta community somewhere, maybe lemmy.world, where you can have discussions about Lemmy. But I'm really not sure.

And just to make it clear, I'm just giving you my honest opinion. Not trying to make you feel bad or anything.
