Wild. How many Israelis still have IBM tattoos?
DrMartinu 63 points 6 days ago
The number tattoos from the holocaust directly tie into early 'database software' aka tabulation machines developed by IBM. IBMs NYC HQ was involved the entire time from prewar census to ghettos to concentration camps. And then they made your first PC.

My first PC was zilog based. But yep, IBM 100% helped Nazi Germany catalog and track their prisoners on the way to the ovens. But like so many companies they've been allowed to whitewash their image.

They made Fisher-Price My First Computer?

MY first PC, or THE first PC? Cuz a couple of years ago, IEEE recognized the Datapoint as manufacturing the first PC.

... fingers crossed someone doesn't bring up some shit about Debian ...
curbstickle 7 points 5 days ago
No company behind it, the DSC/DFSG has been around for around 30 years now, its operated through the non-profit SPI for just as long, and important to note it was Bruce Perens who made the first draft of the DSC.
I think the drama in Debian has historically been more on the geekery side than anything else, and should continue to be the case for a looooong time.

This is not as bad, but...
There's a package in Debian called "fortune-mod" that contains "offensive jokes" - racism, homophobia, misogyny etc. They refused to remove it because free speech or whatever.
drkt 9 points 5 days ago
If the package is not malware, I actually would prefer the repo maintainers fight to keep it there. I do not want the software repo to be censored. If I don't like a piece of software, I can avoid using it.
The package is not shipped with Debian. The package is not shown to a user anywhere in Debian. A user has to go out of their way to acquire the package.

I thought this was hilarious. I digged into this. I agree with the author. Honestly if one doesn't like the quote generated, one can generate a new quote and move on. Author addressed this years ago here https://salsa.debian.org/...
Then again, I'm sure someone made an offensive free version of this.

Would IBM ever do anything bad?

Wait how does using fedora support redhat? You don't pay for fedora. They get nothing.
curbstickle 4 points 5 days ago
Its RHEL's testing ground... Quite literally Fedora is the upstream.

Well that's really dissapointing to learn when having multiple fedora installations at home...
(Other family member`s desktop and my own server)
The thing is I kinda want SELinux on my server. Hm SUSE is German which does not bring much hope. Probably worth checking.
(Am I crazy enough to use Gentoo on my server as well?)
LucidNightmare 4 points 5 days ago
Maybe you can answer this, but why do you want SELinux? When I was on openSUSE, I felt like whatever that thing was doing was preventing me from just turning my computer on and playing some games. Proton-GE ESPECIALLY.
Now, on Fedora (yay at the above news..) I don't have that issue any longer. no idea what is installed on Fedora, but it doesn't give me nearly as many of those issues that openSUSE did.
I think openSUSE is awesome, but for someone like me who doesn't fully understand all the little things going on in the OS, a default install of openSUSE was much worse off on my system config than Fedora was.
imsufferableninja 6 points 5 days ago
Fedora comes with SELinux also, but clearly with a better set of policies
Killercat103 2 points 5 days ago
Well mainly security and curiosity. Same kind of curiosity that got me daily driving Gentoo I assume.
Its a public facing server after all so if one of several software gets compromised at least theres a one last safety measure that can prevent a considerable amount of damage.

Red Hat is the MIC linux

Isn't Systemd a Redhat thing? Either way, I should probably migrate to Artix...
Ensign_Crab 3 points 5 days ago
And to think, I once felt sorry for red hat because their symbol had been co-opted by maga.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Redhat is just part of IBM now, so even more baggage on top.
Yet another reason I've been a Debian user for so long.
