"Most" is probably the "most" inaccurate statement in the world on this.
It is true you don't need a degree to be a fantastic Pythonista. Try getting a job as a discrete graphics engineer, nurse, teacher, or accountant without a degree. It is true that Trades are a great way to go as well but even most trades have a required educational component.
I present original content dozens of times a year. Libreoffice is good but not that good. It has a clunky interface, it is hard to customize slides in a way that is productive and has odd "irks". Due to these limitations (and I have been using Libreoffice since it was StarOffice), I have recently switched to Google Slides. I actually write my talks in Google Slides and then download them as ODP and open them in Libreoffice for final publish. That said, I would argue that Libreoffice is 100% fine for 95% of presenters. I have also worked with Power Point and it is miles ahead of Libreoffice in terms of usability and consistency. I think as Free/Open Software people we tend to use our ideology to justify our bad software.
If you are building a server, then file system absolutely matters.
Ext4 is fine but limited and not nearly as mature or stable as XFS. When building a server that *matters*.
ZFS blows the doors off of anything the Open Source community has *ever* built (in terms of file systems). It has features that Linux users have been desperate for. For example, file system snapshots and rollbacks. Yes, you can do it with LVM2. Guess what? LVM2 sucks at it (in comparison to ZFS).
Let's talk personal finance and economics which will give you basic algebra (pre-algebra) as well as basic statistics and some sense of when to use debt and not!
Sure and I don't have a problem with BSD nor am I complaining about Linux or the GPL. The problem here is we have different attorneys both are biased saying different things about including ZFS and really the only people that get an opinion is Canonical and Oracle.
* Everyone who is able bodied, should work. They just may not get to work at what they want.
* We do not have tremendous poverty by any stretch of reality (India, China, Brazil, those are countries with tremendous poverty)
* The "big automatic pickup" is a red herring. We have so many worse polluting items we need to deal with first. Have you ever looked at emissions for any truck built after 1995?
* The "pea shooter" is about a right. We have that right and giving up those rights is what we are talking about right now on this thread.
* Lots of people complain about pissing away trillions of dollars, on all sides of the political spectrum
The only thing I can conclude from your comment is you are a troll, highly uneducated, a Millennial, or any combination of the three.
Let's be very clear, the moment they require the ability to get into my device is the moment I encrypt everything and everything with user space tools you don't have access to.
I don't like to be bullied either, therefore I don't allow people to do it. You have to take accountability for yourself. If the person is being a bully, call them out.
The difference is the value proposition. People are fooled into thinking the cloud is somehow cheaper (it isn't once you reach about 300.00-500.00/month.)
The cloud... GCE, AWS/EC2 etc.. that are the biggest threat to Open Source. Things like S3 with its proprietary protocol, developers falling in line for RDS and Dynamo. In short, locking yourself into very expensive, closed alternatives because: "It's easy". The battles never went away, they have just shifted. If you are paying attention and not spending all your time reading CTO magazine, you can see this.
The U.S. is hurting? From this side of the pond things are looking pretty good. The dollar is rocking (so much that we can get EU people 1 for 1), unemployment is down for educated people and business is up even for small business.
Yes, we should make women welcome in FOSS. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy a good laugh at the same time. We all need to stop with this BS #activistmorality

If you remove Linux you can not:
Run an Android phone
Use In-Flight Entertainment
Use the Internet AT ALL
No Netflix
No Prime
If you drive a Dodge/Chrysler you can't start your car
The list just goes on and on.

Nothing much to say but +1

Props to them for the commitment but systemd ( and all its warts) has won the day.
We need to roll back the authoritarians at the Fed (on both sides) and instead allow states to determine the rules.

That is what Skype for Web is for.
It should be released for free as in Libre.
That is what this really boils down to.
That a bunch of geeks who know very little about how to operate economy would fail at trying to create one.

Yes, Linux ZFS is more stable than BTRFS.
And if ext4 works for you great but comparing ext4 to zfs is like comparing a pinto to a corvette.

Linux does not have a stable file-system and volume manager that can come anywhere near the performance and stability of ZFS.
This is a ridiculous comment:

Well Softlayer at least offers a SFTP interface to their S3 competitor.
The current "open source" alternative is to use APIs that already exist instead of creating new ones for no particular purpose.

As a follow up to this, here is an article:

Sounds like Startup mentality and I agree with you. I would never work for a startup.
