“raw dogging the Internet”… I chuckled out loud

One day, after I am done with -insert reason here-, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

For some reason you’re “insert reason here” was dropped by lemmy. I guess a sequential less-than/greater-than messes with it.

Exactly.

Someone older than a teen understands we have a responsibility to bring people together, create a trusting environment, focused on the job at hand.

So even when someone brings up politics, I simply don’t respond, or just ask a work question. Because I know most people doing this want to have their viewpoint validated, and I probably don’t agree in some way. This situation helps no one, and just promotes divisiveness.

Work is for work, not for political bullshit.

Political bullshit is alway divisive, and we all work too damn hard to build cohesive teams.

I’ve seen it many times - if you’re one of those that is compelled to bring outside bullshit to work, where we have enough actual related issues to contend with, you’ll be left behind. People won’t want to work with you, I because you’re not a team player and more interested in discussing political crap (or reality TV crap, or whatever) than discussing the very real issues in front of us.

We already don’t have enough time for the tasks at hand, last thing we need is such juvenile nonsense.

You want to talk politics, do it on your break, away from me.

And your freedom of speech bullshit argument is nothing more than a sophistry tactic known as a strawman. This reveals you to be a sophist, not interested in discovering truth, but rather in winning an argument.

You even led with castigating me, and continued on with denigrating.

You should probably revisit your intentions and ethics.

Very good point about Agile.

As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I’d love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.

I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.

There are about 3 apps that I’m a beta tester for, so even I’m part of that early-adopter group.

Agreed

Maybe just keep politics out of work?

I can’t stand anyone bringing up anything political at work - regardless of which “side”. It’s irrelevant and a distraction - I got shit to do.

So if you got shitcanned for it, you’ll get zero sympathy from me.
