Fedora also has a rolling release version called rawhide

Right. If your hit by 9 bombs it does really matter if your were also hit by three duds.

I mean they have been bombing refugee coridors, so they clearly support killing noncombatants.

I hope Linux gaming can keep growing at a fast pace to combat the inevitable clash.

Right now? Bad. Other Big Tech would swoop in and tech their place and try and take their proprietary market share, but a lot of the open source work would be left to die on the vine, including Firefox. It would be a loss of paid talent in the FOSS world and a massive consolidation of big tech.

Good thing for FOSS, maybe. Non-profits suddenly not operating effectively for a few years is arguably worse for a lot of people that depend on them.

The fireworks on the 4th of July are to represent the firearms and cannons citizens owned and used in rebellion towards a tyrannical government.

That concept is written into our constition or declaration of being a country, and passed down into our myths and celebrations.

Part of it is the wording is “(justification for the amendment) (actual limitation on the governments power)” so the reason the government shall not infringed on the right to bear arms is because that supports the creation of well regulated militias necessary to secure a free state.

Do I want an OS that can offload to remote servers? I mean kinda actually, that’d be neat. Do I want another thing in my life to be a subscription I have no control on, absolutely not.

Alienation real for sure, I have to fight that my job all the time. One for me is all of pencil pushing signature block owners I have to talk to. Like I hate to say it, but theres gotta be a better use of both our time then them being road blocks on peoples paths to production.

I know a lot of people that work in union manufacturing jobs that have a real sense of pride and feeling of accomplishment about it. Gotta say, having time off, extra money, and voice in how the company treats you probably goes a long way, because some of those same people hated their non-unions jobs before.

Dictators flocking together while they plan on expanding their imperial reach, but know they will butt into each other’s spheres when it’s less convenient.

Does Creative Commons and the RAILS licenses not cover most of these models fairly? That is what I tend to see them under.

This is the first time I think I a more convinced that Meta joining isn’t in the Fediverse’s best interest. The front end is where the users “go”, they don’t know about the backend. If the front end points to new places, they would have no idea. So Fediverse going to meta, just gives meta users access to more of the internet, at the pleasure of meta’s whims. It’s partially an issue with the Fediverse model of giving admins power over the communities and users that they host. That, extended to Meta, shows the cracks the most, I think.

They aren’t loaning out money to have ports built? They don’t have a state run union? Their government isn’t filled with some of their richest? They don’t have a program reducate certain peoples that includes shipping them accross the country? Like come on, some of these are just established public facts that even the CCP doesn’t deny.

Wow that’s really cool! Seems like a great way to tinker around with some web dev stuff! Curious to see how this could fit into a greater development pipeline!

The video conferencing on Matrix has been really good for me so far. FOSSDEM 2022 was hosted on it and that really sold me on Matrix as a solution tbh. The recorded talks played smooth, and the chats worked no issues, while the break rooms gave me that genuine “I’m actually at a conference” feel, because it was so easy to just join a room and talk with our cameras on and everything.

Teams has been mostly up and working for me, but we have “sorry teams wasn’t working” issues all the time, so that bar is low to me. Even more, matrix better fits larger organizations that frankly should be using the federated approach for a lot of things, and stop trying to have IT policies that fits hundreds of thousands of employees over large geospatial distances.

I really hope matrix/element takes more space in enterprise space. Sure Teams has some more features, but they suck tbh, so even i wanted to use their white board or “wiki” features, I don’t because I don’t want to wait a few minutes for a “wiki” to load, and no else does either!

I don’t get the medium critic either. If medium paid someone for their content, sure, they should have the right to host it even the writer now disagrees with them, but if they a platform and sharing some profits or no profits with the creator, pound sand, they absolutly get to hold their content hostage. They have every right to move their free work or stop sharing their free work where ever they feel like.

No, I mean it, they really have taken the models of the British Empire and the American Empires and expanded them in a way neither at their heights could ever justify nor imagine. Surveillance system sales to authoritarian governments? Selling surveillance in other countries?! Like the CIA look like idiots spending money to get surveillance in other countries on that one. Plus they get to support the dictators keeping the peasants sending raw resources to China!

Purposely loaning money to countries with bad credit histories for leverage to get them to build ports for the Chinese empire’s trade network?! Britten spent so much time and money fighting wars, and colonizing just to be our shined on that.

And let’s not even get to started on the levels of control business have over workers there. The US robber barons use the State here looks like child’s play to the anti-union, anti-solidarity work done by the CCP. A giant union ran by the largest capitalist in the country? With authorities able to crack down on grassroots organizing on the opposite side, and the ability to send slaves from regions in need of “reeducation” all around the country. Makes the US look practically socialist on some fronts (we aren’t and have a good way to go).
