Lived in California (SoCal and Bay Area) my entire 42 years.

No, we don't.

There was a short, planned outage in my neighborhood (San Diego suburbs) last summer - we got a few days notice (can't recall if it was a letter or an email). Didn't have one the summer before that. I don't recall any power outages when I lived in the Bay Area.

That last paragraph is all sorts of reasons why she should have retired 15 years ago (at 75!) When voters would have easily voted in her (possibly even hand picked!) protege.

We're now left a mess because someone with an ego didn't retire when they could have. Wait this is starting to sound familiar. Thankfully the consequences aren't likely to be as dire this time.

This was a nice article to read, except complaints about the bezel (really we're still talking about bezels?). I've got a Intel 12th gen Framework 13, and I've been curious about how they'd do with the AMD version. I'm really liking mine, but a bit more performance would be appreciated since I use it for work, too. I'll probably buy the motherboard kit in a year or so, and slide the Intel into a case for a home server.

This is exactly the kind of thing that gets backported to stable LTS distros tho. The kernel Major.Minor is just the base - it doesn't tell the whole story.

I worked for a fairly large tech company (not a household name, but well known in it's sector) and this was their policy for core business IP related changes GPL things. Modified GPL sources were neatly packaged up and available but it was a violation of the support contract to share them.

It ultimately doesn't matter (to those customers) if it's a violation of the license - the customers were large businesses who were not going to risk an expensive court case without a clear victory against a company they're investing hundreds of millions of dollars (or more) in, on some moral crusade.

I'm not defending it (and I did not enjoy working for said company), just saying that this model already exists.

Edit: I should also say that I have no idea if that's going to be RedHats policy, but it would make sense if it were.

Oracle keeps trying to throw shade, but I hope everyone knows that it's just opportunistically poking a competitor in the eye. They don't have an open source leg to stand on.

Relicense or update CDDL to be GPL compatible and then I'll reevaluate.

You may want to research this some more. Spinning the drive up and down adds wear on the mechanical parts, and will lead to the drive failing a lot sooner.

Maybe you're okay with that tradeoff, just thought you should at least be aware of it.

As of right now (and realistically the foreseeable future), nothing changes for Fedora. Fedora is useful to RedHat as a proving ground for features that may someday land in RHEL.

The only thing directly concerning for Fedora is that RedHat is the main corporate sponsor. If RedHat needs to cut costs, they could cut back on paying for infrastructure costs of the Fedora project. They could direct their employees to spend less time around the Fedora project. They could concentrate further on CentOS stream instead, which is probably not an attractive alternative for the typical Fedora user.

As others have said, RHEL is not going closed source. They are not violating the letter of the GPL (though IMO, certainly the spirit of it).

I think this is a crappy move by RedHat/IBM and I won't excuse it, but I will say in their defense they are one of the largest contributors to open source. Everything from the kernel to Gnome and in between. It's a massive step back from the company they were 5 years ago, though.

I'd love faster boats (I'd love faster minecarts more). As is tradition for the mob vote though, you don't really know what you're voting for. When I heard "can help your boat travel faster", I think "rad, faster boats", but that could also mean "can help your boat travel faster [when you're nearby penguins and being in the boat doesn't count]" or anything in between.

PiHole 4b powering my home DNS. Been running for ~4 years as of next month (and still on the original SD card I installed it to!). 100% recommend.

Agreed EEE doesn't need to be strictly technical (but it certainly could be! See the example of increasingly complicated and quick moving web standards driven largely by Google which makes creating a new browser so hard).

But a UX path could easily look like:

Find the top 500 lemmy communities by size/engagement. Create those communities before the server ever opens up to the public. Pre-poulate with content.

As people join, sort them into these communities based on their FB/Insta/Twitter/Threads profile. Indicate in some way that their existing contacts are into those things too and "may" be there to encourage adoption. Open up to federation.

Voila, f/linux has 200k users in the first month all chatting and posting. People like content, so native lemmy users subscribe and start engaging over there. The UX is great, very polished, etc. Maybe they create an account migration tool.

A while later, BigCorp decides it's time to pull the rug, defederates (for whatever reason, probably moderation issues), and now everyone who's still a Lemmy user is cut off from the communities they followed and the "native" Lemmy communities are tiny and quiet. Lemmy users cry foul, and no one cares because Big Corps get to set the message and for some reason people come out of the woodwork to defend them.

Facebook has no incentive to Federate (seriously for what?), but has insane incentive to kill a federated service before it gets off the ground or ever grows to be anything approaching the size of reddit.

I acknowledge Threads is a bigger problem for Mastodon, but you would be incredibly naive if you think there wasn't a team of people working feverishly at getting a FB owned ActivityPub targeted at a Reddit replacement. It would even integrate with Threads, like Kbin has microblogging.

I'm addition to tldr which someone else suggested, there's also the cheat command. It's pretty easy to add to it's cheat sheets, if you have custom commands, or want to keep a specific example. I've never kept a physical cheat sheet... They're just too inconvenient and my fingers are probably already at the keyboard.

Threads -> Lemmy doesn't make sense, no.

But consider a service that looked more like Kbin, which merges "microblogging" (like Twitter) and "link aggregation" (like Lemmy/Reddit) under the same account, but puts those in different parts of their UI. Facebook could (and really, strategically, should! If they're after Twitter's lunch, why not Reddit's as well?) be working on a similar thing. All current users of Threads could one day wake up and find a new "Communities" tab in their app.

So right now, the Federation discussion seems moot with regards to Lemmy, but it's really a longer term issue.

If you're "entirely serious" in the literal sense, just to be super clear the answer to "why can’t the Democrats run an intellectual Canadian?" is that a Canadian is disqualified from the office of the President in the Constitution. Unfortunately, they didn't think to prohibit megalomaniac felons. That's apparently on us. :(

It is a problem with The Court though. Sure, Sotomayor is classy here, but only because she chose to be. The things coming out about Thomas shouldn't be allowed but no one is functionally capable of doing anything about them, even though we have rules in place for other civil servants - that's the problem with the court.

I've got a chemex and love iced coffee... Talk to me about this "brewing over ice" method?

Nope, Prism doesn't do bedrock.

Ehhh... The Java edition has had more than one dude working on it for a long time. It's not like MS bought it and tossed the code in a vault.

I play both pretty evenly, and while bedrock isn't as bad as people say it is (anymore?), Java is still probably the answer.

That said, they're both fuckin maddening to admin.

Right, there's definitely a threshold... but we're not anywhere near it. Like I said I have the FW13, and my wife has a similar sized Dell XPS. There's less than half an inch difference. The Dell has almost no bezel... and fingerprints on the display all along the edge from having to open and close it. And the bezel on the top of the FW has hardware switches for disabling the mic and webcam which is probably why it's bigger in the first place.
