This is why I'm not deleting my reddit posts and comments. It's not worth making the whole world a tiny bit worse just to punish one company.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

OP, please don't go making empty ghost communities based on the feedback here. That would be worse than no community at all. Communities should be created by topic enthusiasts.

What would happen if a Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn employee announced where they work?
They would probably get asked about their jobs.

All the good things you said about Redhat should be in past tense. IBM recently laid off tons of Redhat employees, including the Fedora team lead! Redhat is no longer an organization in any real sense. It is only the name of a product now. It's as meaningful as IBM's "Watson". They are only marketing terms.

Don't expect much investment or technical innovation out of Redhat/IBM going forward. IBM is always going to put its short term (short sighted) self interest ahead of everything else.

Tiny tiny Rss (ttrss). I've used it for well over 10 years. New docker install is easy.

The problem is that it will make their experience worse subtly & slowly. It's a boiled frog scenario.

The whole PS/2 & OS/2 fiasco is probably what pushed the once great IBM away from hardware and software production into managed services and consulting which is where they make their money now. They are a contract sales driven company. Quarterly sales targets & bonuses is a good way to motivate the sales team. The problem is that IBM concider everything other than sales an expense to be minimized. They do not invest. They market. "Watson" did not represent AI innovation. It was just a marketing tool.

Do you think he was vanquished or paid off? He's never criticized Putin directly, just those working under him.

Huh? I've used 4 different credit unions, and I never heard of being unable to get a debit card.

The problem with these weapons has been that many of the bomb let's have failed to detonate upon landing, only to explode months/years later when handled by cucilians (often children). The US says that the new cluster bombs are much more reliable. Ukraine wants these weapons to use within their own territory, as they are most effective for penetrating trenches. Ukraine should be allowed to decide how best to defend themselves.

Bravo!

Why Bakhmut?

IBM/Redhat only HAS to provide their source code to paying customers. That is what they are doing. They will also refuse to do business with entities that use the source to release the source or use it in a derivative distro.

This violates the spirit of open-source. IBM benefits from the work of thousands of programmers for free, but refuses to reciprocate. They are de facto close sourcing their code.

You can also bet of the fact that IBM will decrease their development of Redhat (more layoffs) over time as they emphasize short term profits.

The various personal finance related subs. There are some communities with similar names, but the depth of experience is lacking.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that we (including economists) don't really understand inflation. It seems to be a product of the zeitgeist. If we believe there is inflation it will be their, if we don't, it won't. That is at least the case for the demand side of the equation. The supply side of the equation is affected by scarcity, either man made or natural. I don't think money supply or interest rates have nearly as much effect as we've long believed.

Used NUCs don't have built-in UPSs, like used laptops do.

Redhat, the organization/company no longer exists. Redhat did those things in the past, and earned a lot of love, respect, and clout. All that is left of that legacy is their contributed code and an IBM product name.

I don't know9, but I'm curious why the number of users matters to anyone.

Ancient history.

My topology is a tube with appendages. Ultimately, humans (like all chordates) are convoluted toroids.

It's more about server storage space than code, unfortunately.

The custard is rancid.

You are a gnat.

Which boomers? All of them?

I'm very impressed. It just needs more 3rd party apps!

I wish them luck keeping it together.

Producer prices stopped rising a while ago, and consumer prices are beginning to follow. This is routine & predictable. Was there some price gouging? Of course. That's routine & predictable too.

Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.

Mate & kde

SPY is still down since Jan 2022. It'll have to surpass that (and be rising quickly) before it feels too hot for me.

It's more like telling someone to methodically manage their irrigation before, during, and after droughts.

A very good post. Thanks

Occam's razor says, "no".

Not the laws of chemistry, or biology?
I'm an immortal Alchemist!

You can fly super fast but are unable to decelerate except by crashing into things.

No. They want to peel away the Democratic vote by promoting fake leftist parties.

I feel like google used to be the good guys relative to apple. They were more open and truly supported open source & standards. But I don't feel like there's much difference anymore.

Cheap electronics is all I buy from Ali exp.

In my suburban town you can't turn around without bumping into a credit union branch. They all work together cooperatively too. The only reason I ever go into a branch is for my safe deposit box.
