Why does the post title omit the name of the country that's shutting down?

The Linux kernel runs AOSP. Linux has nothing to do with the design decisions that you mentioned.

I am leaving a workplace after less than a year. And this is a major contributing factor. We work remotely but the company culture is to spend all day on Slack with synchronous responses.

When I started setting my status to DND they would keep messaging. If I don't respond within 5 minutes, they grab my lead to do the thing. I'm not repremanded but it just feels bad.

I started just exiting Slack for a few hours in afternoons to get through my work. So they started calling my cell. And if you don't pick up they call and text again.

I'm moving on because it makes my head hurt and I feel like I am getting nothing done as a result.

Slack is just part of the problem but I really think it encourages such culture.

I started my career and remote work with email and a VOIP phone on my desk to talk across borders. As crap as those tools were, somehow the Slack culture has made it worse.

The best onboarding is to let your users use the product without all the pop ups, Next buttons and registrations for spam.

Like you're on a list for starting a genocide.

And the archive link someone posted has invalid certs.

Putin is effectively unelected. Their election system is a multi-tiered hoax and just another method of deception.

The alcoholic "President" before Putin had actual tanks firing at congress when things didn't go his way.

Before that, communist supreme rulers who murdered those who opposed them. And their own party members to get the throne.

Before that, Tsars, imperialist supreme rules who murdered those who opposed them. And their own family members to get the throne.
