This is just petty tribalism. How is this different than Red Hat devs using macbooks or whatever.
Reasonable people can recognize the right tool for the job. If the productivity didn't grow it would be a bad idea to organize society around capitalism. If your goal is getting shit done at scale, you can't rely on "There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law."
You want them to use, what? jitsi? neomutt? iRedMail? DEEPSEEK?!? LOCALLY?!? GET REAL! These are serious developers for Petes' sake!
Is there any evidence of SUSE using Teams internally besides that one “We'll give you three minutes back, as they say on Teams meetings!” remark? I don't interpret that remark to necessary mean SUSE themselves use Teams for internal chats; for all we know SUSE could be using some FOSS system internally while using the Teams instances of external orgs they work with, and that latter case being the basis for the remark.
If someone from SUSE is killing some time on Hacker News right now, I'd love to hear more about their internal workflow — especially since (in my experience) Teams on Linux is a less-than-pleasant experience, so if that's what they're really using then I'd love to hear more about how they're going about reducing that pain.
How many OSS projects do devrel on Discord? (and please, let this moment be when it ends!) Feels like instead of indicting these projects and companies we need to actually invest resources in the design research and UX necessary to get FOSS tools to be truly competitive. Hint to developers: it's not feature parity, it's making the important features really good.
