  I swear they treat CEO’s who tank companies like they do priests who molest kids and just send them to another place whenever they get caught.

    That’s corporatism in a wider sense. Existed since times immemorial. It’s a systemic problem, that is, defined by architecture.

      Corporatism like this is fairly new. Creating bullshit positions for your followers is an old tradition among kings and other rulers, but putting people from one leadership position where they fucked up into the next is only here since the capitalist class established itself after the industrial revolution.

        Actually the former included the latter. So no.

    If you need someone to implement a greedy, extreme position d then “pull back to something reasonable” (still further than original), he’s on the short list.

    but if they isn’t anymore in red hat so they didn’t take the 22/23 decisions, no?

    That’s more at the feet of current leadership at IBM/RH, he resigned in mid 2021. The licensing move could’ve also been made and it just took a while to be official though so who knows.

    People in software know who people in software are. Unity is for software developers, not gamers.

      It wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much visibility if gamers didn’t know who the dude was

    Probably hasn’t had a chance to fuck up publicly, hopefully he pays attention to the news and doesn’t want to be unpopular
