It is "a matter of survival"... and Ahlstrom has donated to it:
<http://bit.ly/18NlNwz>.

As predicted: my posting about the absurdity of Dietrich has pushed at least
some of the herd to donate to him. Dietrich should be thanking me.

He never will.

How much of his $20 per week allowance did Ahlstrom donate?

I can't believe that the herd is that gullible.

If they want to help the Linux cause there are far more useful and
legitimate places that could use the donation.

The OLPC program for one.

Well not bad, he gave 5 times his weekly allowance of $20.

No way Dietrich is going to raise $9,740 in 31 days.

No, but he is scamming a number of people. As I have said, their choice...

But I wonder, when he does not get 1/10th his amount which is "a matter of
survival", what is going to happen to him?

Absolutely. Dietrich is a scam artist and they are falling for his scam.

Given the choice between the Ford Fiesta and donating to Dietrich I
think I would donate to Dietrich long before I was seen driving a
Ford Fiesta.

Or EVER...... But then again these FOSSies seem to be rather
gullible, so who knows :)

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

P.S. I wonder if Chris Ahlstrom's wife knows he donated?

No, you did not snip your personal attack - you left it in. To claim you
snipped it is dishonest. You just lied.

They are childish nuts, aren't they? Snit has proven many times just
how low he's willing to go.

Judge Sporkin was troubled by a Microsoft internal memorandum that said: "The
best way to stick it to Philippe is preannounce ... to hold off Turbo buyers."
Arguably, the memorandum shows Microsoft's specific intent to hinder Borland's
marketing by a preannouncement. Should that be illegal? Reasoning from
securities fraud principles, Judge Sporkin said yes.

I noted you funded Dietrich's hobby site. That is "low" in your book?

There are plenty of worthwhile charities out there. I for one would never
send a cent to an unemployed slob like Dietrich who's too lazy to get off
his ass and find a job. There's plenty of software jobs out there. He's
either too stupid to be employable or simply not trying.

Instead that bum decided to make a living and career out of sitting at home
and begging for donations.

Or disabled. Or whatever. Fine. Maybe he can find work and maybe he cannot.
Maybe he really needs charity to survive, as he says.

But he lies. He claims he needs this money to keep a WordPress hobby site
up. Utter BS. There are social services which can help him if he truly is in
need and if not, as you say, he can go find work or earn his money and not
beg for donations.

And how much does Glasser contribute to his household?

None of your business... and something you have no knowledge of - which will
not stop you from lying to please the herd.

This is a direct lie on your part. But do not worry - your herd not only
tolerates your lying they encourage it and reward you for it.

There's never been any indication that Dietrich is disabled. If he was then
he'd be collecting some form/forms of disability which doesn't seem to be
the case.

How many times have there been posts here about "Huge demands for Linux
jobs", "Linux jobs pay so great", "Linux jobs are in such high demand by
employers", etc, etc.

So here's a guy, someone who claims to be knowlegable of Linux and instead
of getting one of these "High paying Linux jobs that are in demand" he
elects to stay home and whine that unless people donate to his personal
hobby site he'll be forced into bankruptcy. How about he get a real job
instead?

If the "average" is a little over $90k then how stupid is this person? This

I actually took a look and the clown wants $10,000.

My wife and I run two websites and it costs us less than $200 a year to
maintain them.

I find it hard to believe than anyone would be so utterly STOOPID as to
contribute...but of course, everyone knows what P.T. Barnum said.



To make myself clear: Anyone who contributed is anencepholic.

I own and run a doman... the web hosting is less than $8/month and the
domain registration itself is some small charge. Again.. far less than
$200/year.

Dietrich started this "linux advocates" site just a few months ago and this
is already the 2nd time that he's crying "I need $10k or I'll have to stop
the site and file for bankruptcy." I'm sure it won't be the last time
either.

P.T. Barnum was right.

Last time he didn't even come close to reaching his target. And he
shouldn't... just because he has a hobby website with the word "Linux" in it
doesn't justify him not having to work and having people donate to pay his
way through life.

Did you create a website a handful of months ago and are you now crying for
the 2nd time how you need $10k in donations for your site your you'll go
broke?

If that's the case, I can't help wondering why so few people on this group work with Linux, and not one of them belongs to the false-advocate clique. They seem to parrot any generalisation and sound-bite if it fits in with their world-view.

Linux jobs tend to be more niche, which has advantages and disadvantages. There is more variety with Win32 and I'm not ashamed to admit that the development I did in my Windows job was much more interesting than what I am doing now.

That would be the sensible option.

Exactly.

It's called laziness.
He needs to get off his ass and apply for one of those many Linux
jobs being created each day.

I can't believe people are foolish enough to contribute to that
loser's pizza and jolt habit.

They'll have to answer that question themselves. Most likely they're
"comfortable" with what their job and it's safer then changing to another
job with another company.

I don't have a "Linux job" although my desktop at work runs Linux natively
and we have dozens of Linux VMs that I telnet into. I work in the "big data"
sector of the software industry and our software runs on everything from
Windows Server to IBM mainframes and everything in between which includes
Linux, AIX, Solaris, HPUX and various other OSs that aren't so familiar to
people.

I don't specifically write "Linux software" but write software that's
expected to compile and run on all of the platforms that we support on
various processor architectures and file systems. It's not any specific
knowlege if Linux, Windows or Solaris that employs me but my understanding
of the issues and challenges facing customers with a data warehouse that has
100's or terabytes or even petabytes of data they need to access and mine.
Sure, I need to be proficient in C/C++/Python/shell-script programming but
it's being able to apply that to "big data" problems is what's more
important.

A quick look on Monster.com, Dice or any other employment site would show
that there are plenty of jobs available for people of various skill levels.
There's no excuse to sit home and constantly ask for $10k in donations from
people because he doesn't have a job.

Why did you cut the comments of the person you are sucking up to. These

"literally a matter of survival"... to get people to pay him to run a hobby
WordPress site.

Insane.

But when this is noted, the herd makes up stories about my personal life -
stories they know to be false.

I am not saying this *is* the case, but it is possible that he is disabled
but feels it would be wrong to get Welfare (he indicates as much) but
believes it is OK to be paid to provide a "service" of a hobby WordPress
site. He wants to feel useful. It fits with what he has said... but, again,
I am *not* claiming this is what is happening... I have no idea. Not even
saying it is likely - but it is possible.

Right: his story makes no sense. Though, keep in mind, there is no evidence
of him being knowledgeable about Linux in any significant way.

I recently switched my career path from Solaris to GNU/Linux, and I had
so many positions to choose from that I didn't have time to go on all the
interviews that companies wanted to setup. The jobs were in a wide
variety of industries and didn't look very niche to me.

I would suggest that you only take jobs that you enjoy. I have no idea
why you would stay at a job that you don't find interesting.

Absolutely. And desktop Linux itself is the best choice for some niches...
but it and the competition all have advantages and disadvantages. Even
Stallman says this of the idea of using pure open source software:

"Maybe it wouldn't be quite as good, but we would all be okay."
- Richard Stallman, speaking about if his ideas were followed

He knows it would be technologically limiting... but it would fit his
morals. I can respect that. I do not respect those who lie and say that it
would magically make things technologically better as well.

Many, many variables go into it.

This assumes he has a fairly high level of knowledge. Is there any evidence
of this?
