Almost all of these RTO policies are a C-suite trying to have layoffs without paying severance or bad press. If this happens to you simply continue the exact schedule and quality of work and force them to fire you. Worst case, you can file for unemployment. Best case, they offer severance. Either way, fudge that noise.

I always find it so funny when a journalist refers to a company as if it was a singular person. Open Source is written by individuals who chose to work on open source instead of software with (in general) more potential to bring in money.

It's not too surprising that the people who spend the most time on open source are the people being paid to write open source, is it?

"Player Piano" is an increasingly topical story about a small group of people who run a huge, mostly automated manufacturing facility and how it effects the community of people who used to be needed. This story feels a lot like that.

I'm happy with the load times, smooth rendering, new bottom-bar UI, and its focus on user privacy and prevention of tracking.

You played a large part in keeping the FLOSS/open culture flame alive and the world is better for it.

You're closer to this than I am, but it's my understanding that new proprietary things like the voice client aren't in the GPL'ed release and that you don't have even anon access to the source repository. This is what I refer to as out of sync and being thrown over the wall.

It's interesting that you're having a good experience with them, though. Do you think LL is going to get a point where the community has more of a role in an open source fashion than it does currently?

OpenSim is hosted on OPENsecondlife.org (not LIBsecondlife.org), so it was just a typo of the URL.
