| lk | I met a guy in Vancouver who made his own kernel | 22:43 |
| lk | man that guy was always upset and intense | 22:43 |
| lk | I got his name wrong and he look like he wanted to belt me | 22:43 |
| lk | but thats in the past | 22:44 |
| valorie | to me, software is tools | 22:44 |
| valorie | not religion | 22:44 |
| lk | I am a intj .i tried learning coding but...I get bored. | 22:44 |
| valorie | I use FOSS when possible but will use other stuff when necessary | 22:44 |
| lk | I am not a INTP personality | 22:44 |
| lk | INTJ so more of a problem solver on a larger scale. I am also...obsolete in the windows arena. | 22:45 |
| lk | Do you see kubuntu used in private industry? | 22:45 |
| valorie | dunno | 22:45 |
| lk | Okay | 22:46 |
| valorie | there are lots of small groups using it | 22:46 |
| lk | sure | 22:46 |
| lk | I use mint | 22:46 |
| lk | ubunto | 22:46 |
| lk | It works on my panasonic laptop | 22:46 |
| lk | thing is....ff keeps trashing after for windows are open | 22:46 |
| lk | crashing | 22:46 |
| valorie | for instance, in Taiwan, a guy is getting all the government offices to use his Kubuntu fork | 22:46 |
| valorie | with Libreoffice all set up for them | 22:47 |
| lk | nice | 22:47 |

| valorie | I don't need the money and I don't want to work for anyone who can tell me what/when to do some work | 22:53 |
| lk | I agree | 22:54 |
| lk | Wish i was retired but I do not think it will ever happen | 22:54 |
| valorie | there are no paid devels in Kubuntu | 22:56 |
| valorie | most of the flavors have no paid devels | 22:57 |
| valorie | I would say that very few distros have any paid positions | 22:58 |
| valorie | any more. We used to | 22:59 |
| lk | I see | 23:01 |
| valorie | packaging has gotten much more automated now | 23:03 |
| valorie | and with better continuous integration systems, more autotesting | 23:03 |
| valorie | everything is just better | 23:04 |
| valorie | with much less work required | 23:04 |
| lk | I see | 23:37 |
