Sorry, we had to deny your application because you’re Asian. Try another school.
Totally, but at least Oracle doesn’t pretend they are some kind of beacon of open source. Red Hat is trying to party like it’s 1999 while it’s just a boring division of IBM now.
Why WOULDN’T we move off if something better came along?
I am. It’s there in the GPL text in black and white. Red Hat does not have any right to place restrictions on the distribution of derivative works that they do not own the original copyright for. Threatening to terminate a service agreement is a restriction.
From what I understand, these restrictions only apply to if you have been provided the software. Red Hat is under no legal obligation to supply you with their software, nor to continue doing so if you violate their terms.
I agree this makes them total scumbags, but as far as I understand the GPL they are not breaking the law.
The new model is “fuck you, pay me”
Nothing a fork or two won’t solve.
Canonical has their own problems right now… Not a lot of snap fans out there. Canonical seems determined to skate to somewhere their users don’t live and create a world they don’t want.
Red Hat died the day IBM bought them. All that garbage about “leaving Red Hat alone” was of course total nonsense. IBM is doing what it does best – squeeze its existing customer base for short term gains. This won’t be the last thing Red Hat does that makes people annoyed.
Nix and Common Lisp seem to sit in the same space – it’s spoken of extremely fondly but has difficulty escaping the lab. For some reason it’s extremely technically capable, but fails to find widespread adoption.

NOOO not THOSE jobs
Debian stable. The mix of having a stable host but being able to pull in flatpak / appimage / docker containers with newer software is awesome.
Reddit still has hundreds of millions of active users per month. They may have lost some people, but this many eyeballs has a huge potential for profit.
This is pretty brilliant. Only problem would be I guess people would want a large audience, but hey, gotta get the ball rolling somehow.
Because MONEY and lack of choice in some markets… easy.
I’m curious why this is classified as “losing battle”… seems pretty successful so far to me.
For better or for worse, news outlets care about engagement. “50th boat full of migrants lost this year” won’t get many clicks. “Billionaires in trouble under the sea” will. If you think these type of stories are under-reported, feel free to start your own blog or discussion forum.
Sure, but it’s easy for a human to come up with semi-original prompts and then the content is good enough for some random magazine…
