Interesting analysis on Ozempic/Mounjaro as weight loss drugs and their economic impact.If you don't want to change your eating habits and lifestyle, you're stuck on these meds forever. Long term risks aren't well understood for your health, but we know how they impact your wallet.Wouldn't it be cheaper to improve the quality of our food supply and rework our dietary guidelines instead? 🤔#Ozempic #mounjaro #diabetes #obesity #diet #health https://archive.is/H5SbI

So #facebook said I can't create an account with my legal name because "Major" is a title and not a real name.I appealed several times (form was broken) and it finally worked. Got an email apology with a temporary password to use.Did that just now and discovered my account was suspended. I haven't even done anything with it yet.Is Meta a real company? I'm really concerned about them now.

I'd love to weigh in on the #RedHat situation -- as someone who contributes to #Fedora and #RHEL daily -- but wow, the vitriol around the recent news has gone off the rails. 🔥

I've seen corporate moves from the outside in the past where I've thought "Oh man, that company is totally ruining that other company."Now I'm on the inside and seeing the banter about what #IBM may or may not be doing to #RedHat.Sure, I was super nervous as a Red Hat associate when IBM made the move originally, but I've received nothing but support from IBM since then.

For context, I'm responsible for the engineering side of the #RHEL on public cloud customer experience at #RedHat. The role involves working with associates across the company and big partners (cloud providers).Collaborating with people on the #IBM side of the house has been a delightful experience 99% of the time. I genuinely feel like they want Red Hat to be successful.

I have the freedom to work through problems from customers and partners as well as look forward to see where our customers need to be. I can come up with ideas along with my talented team and we have the support to execute on those ideas and build great customer outcomes.That's one of the main reasons why I love working here.#redhat

I've also never had a situation where I've heard:"IBM says we must do X""IBM says we can't do Y"I *have* heard many times "IBM has customers who want X from RHEL" or "we could build Y into RHEL to make it better for this IBM customer".But that's the point of acquiring a company, isn't it?

Yay, robots! I decided to give @packit a try on a few of my @fedora package repositories and I got a nice PR with a package update this morning.This makes keeping up with changes *so much easier*. 👏#linux #fedora #packaging #pythonhttps://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-oci/pull-request/2

Are you an Android user who wants nerdy data on the mobile networks that you are connected to?Check our NetMonster in the Google Play Store. It's awesome. Some of the features are Europe-only but I was able to figure out a 5G and wifi calling issue with it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mroczis.netmonster

Holy moley. While digging into why #hostgator is so terrible for web hosting, I discovered that it's owned by a massive organization called EIG that has bought up what seems like most of the shared web hosters out there. 👀Full List of EIG Hosting Brands + The Best Alternatives for 2023https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/eig-hosting-brands-and-alternatives/

One of my favorite parts about working at Red Hat:"I can't figure this out.""What is it?""Oh, this piece of software.""I'll introduce you to this person who works on that in the GitHub repo all the time.""Thanks!"#redhat #linux #fedora #centos
