this is actually insanity…

I disagree. It’s very detailed and I think it can both help a novice and help a novice become less of a novice.

I don’t get it… Does this tiny change ruin it for you?

Fastest help is Archwiki, even if you run Ubuntu…

My setup (Firefox+uBlockOrigin) blocks Doubleclick.net. Also, ads.youtube.com is under Social Trackers, maybe it’s not the actual ads on youtube, but some tracker? BTW, I have no idea how the internet works, maybe it is wrong…

Cannot avoid being around yourself

I like GNOME because I don’t want customizability.

OK, I like a bit of customizability, but I’m not a designer and trying to make things look consistent and nice is a pain. I once spent days making an icon theme work in Xfce (the freedesktop standards for naming icons are not followed by anyone… (meaning both Xfce and icon themes))

I use GNOME as is and accept it and everything is swell.

Also I use a laptop and I’m addicted the three-finger swipe window preview…

I don’t think it’s arbitrary. I think people eat the ones that are tasty…

Only that one: That’s almost homophobic…

It’s basically bots vs bots vs admins… at least that is what happened when I logged in earlier today and joined some people trying (I’m not proud of it) to make the Counter Strike guy have a penis.

Well, I guess I’ll stop using the internet. F

Ok. I understand what you are saying, and there might be historical reasons for the founders of Rocky to believe they can defend better against a takeover by being a PBC. I don’t know if that’s true, I’m not a lawyer. The thing is that if an organization can legally make a profit, I don’t trust that it does not. I’m not trying to insult Greg Kurtzner, I don’t know him. But I wouldn’t need to trust him if they had made a non-profit.

And sure, Alma exists because of funding from corporate interests, but so does the Linux kernel, and GNOME, and probably a large percentage of free software. That’s the point of copyleft, when companies improve free software it remains free.

Personally I’ve never used RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, or AlmaLinux. I was just curious why Fermilab and CERN chose Alma instead of Rocky, which I had heard about more. I found out and I believe they did the right thing, hence the headline. I have no fucking agenda. (maybe you do)

PS: The whole thing, including this post, assumes that Alma and Rocky have the same goal (which apparently is no longer true), and that non-profits can make no money (which… WTF IKEA).

What the fucking fuck!!!

WTF!

Is it that difficult to get the RHEL source code now? I’m sure some people developing Alma have access to RHEL. I mean, sure, they cancel your subscription if you redistribute it, but how do they know if you do? Even if they put things in the source code to identify who got it, I’m sure they can find a way to get past that.

Well… I posted before seeing this. I guess my point is kind of done now, since Rocky and Alma are no longer aiming for the same thing.

It’s a short story collection. I’m actually at the beginning, I’ve only read two stories so far. Kong Yiji is really good!!

Maybe federation with meta is going to make it easier for “normies” to start using free (as in freedom) services and becoming free themselves…
