Haven’t IBM already made enough bad decisions on behalf of Red Hat for this year?
That's what I thought, too, but unfortunately I feel somehow there's more to come.
So I’ve heard they’ve been making some controversial decisions as of late but I’m out of the loop. What happened?
I believe first they killed the versions of CentOS that matched up with versions of RHEL, leaving only CentOS Stream, then they killed the git repositories that hosted the source for any of the CentOS packages, which were in use by downstream distros. When people got upset they called those downstream distros "freeloaders", esseentially
That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. It's still gathering metrics on people's activities. Let's not try and gloss over that.
1Password said they wanna do the same thing. It's just so hard to believe that they'll actually do it/be able to do it. Like can any company really be trusted?
It is kinda hard. Just riding on their “Trust me bro”. I do appreciate how open 1password is at least, they seem somewhat trustworthy as a company for now.
No.
I thought fedora's were always privacy preserving, m'lady?
