Running a company IMHO is about focussing on getting jobs done for
customers in the most effective way possible. The only criterion is cost
benefit analysis.
 
Is it worth doing?
 
I wasn't there to make any political points, espouse any religions, or
dictate what my staff should or shouldn't wear.  Just to mange the
business to make sure people had what they needed to get the job done,
knew what the job was, that needed  to get done and in fact did get  the
job done.
 
I only once commented when the guy with the tongue rings and tats came
in with blue hair...' 'You are not visiting customers with that' I said.

Today's whiny little snowflakes have no idea.

Once my Dad told me "life isn't fair".

I ask him, "shouldn't we try to make it as fair as possible?"

Humans have an innate sense of justice -- from birth.  Also empathy.

But we have filth like Musk telling Rogan that empathy is a "bug"
and "exploitable".

And this has nothing to do with Linux.

ObLinux:  Running 6.15.0 with NVIDIA binary blob drivers.

To get the drivers installed, I used:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-575.57.08.run --no-unified-memory --skip-module-load

...and chose the MIT/GPL branch (default).

(None of this is necessary if your distribution handles it.)
