@Bredroll@mas.to @evacide@hachyderm.io LOL. It's a large company, and IT has always believed "all computers belong to us." So whenever a rule gets in the way, the answer is always, "We should take over management of that machine."
I run off-net systems, which are unique to the specific contract we are developing hardware and software for. So...they don't have the skills to manage that.
Even the DSS on-site guy thinks they are morons. ;)
That said, we *do* have people who are sharp. Just no one I've met.

@agreeable_landfall@mastodon.social You remind me of a big company (~130k) that I had worked for about 15 years ago. In my department (R&D), we were pretty free to run whatever we liked, so most of us ran Linux. I recall going over to corporate IT for something and someone there asked "What's Linux?" (I must give some credit for at least asking.)
