  • Coworker in sales got mad at one of the shipping guys thinking his packing of the pallet was insufficient. They get into a verbal spat until the sales guy walks to his car and pulls his gun on the shipping guy, the shipping guy, who also happened to be a retired marine and allowed by the owner to open carry in the office. Sales guy was lucky the only thing he lost that day was his job.

    No shots were fired since the sales guy was stupid but not that stupid. We kind of had a collective “that’s not terribly surprising” moment later when the cop was over for the police report and brought up sales guy’s past mugshots like “was this the guy”.



  • To be fair, the offer letter mentions he is working from a remote office (and is able to hire an assistant of his choosing). I’m hoping this whole supercommute nonsense isn’t daily and instead like… monthly for some meeting or something.

    Who am I kidding though, a $10M signing bonus? He gets up to $250K per year of personal use out of the jet? They’ll even reimburse him $50K of legal and advisory fees he incurs having the offer reviewed by his own lawyers. That’s where I stopped reading.


  • The article that user links is referring to GrapheneOS (and other OSS software) as not being “free software” - and they (GNU) delves into it more here.

    Basically, GNU is saying software shouldn’t claim to be free and open source if they contain non free binaries / other non-free blobs.

    The nuances between FOSS and OSS can be confusing. GrapheneOS is not claiming to be FOSS.
