SUSE recommends that companies should run on FOSS – but an accidental revelation from a company exec, live on stage, reveals it doesn’t practice what it preaches. It’s not alone.
For this vulture, the single most amusing revelation from any of the industry speakers at this year’s Open Source Policy Summit was from SUSE’s Dominic Laurie, who moderated the final panel discussion of the day, “Sovereignty and Procurement.”
The panel ended a few minutes before the scheduled time, and he closed it with a surprising comment:
We’ll give you three minutes back, as they say on Teams meetings!
People who haven’t touched Google with a ten-foot pole for years still “google” stuff in general conversation because that’s what people generally understand. People who never used Twitter (or that modern renamed far-right bot paradise) talk about stuff that got “tweeted”.
So no… associating colloquial use of terms with actual habits doesn’t work well.
