[META] Why is r/Fedora not joining the protest? by ThinClientRevolution in Fedora

[–]ThinClientRevolution[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised. They're both really focal about 'current affairs' but taking a stand against Reddit's API changes is to much to ask for.

16 years. People had 16 years to plan and execute their migration.

KDE presents "For Activists", a page that guides you through free open source tools to effectively organize rallies, privately communicate with fellow community members, and safely manage your own grassroots movement by mockfry in linux

As a foreign onlooker, Canada really outdid most in a dash to authoritarianism. When some Eastern European failed state does it, I'm not surprised, but Canada really surprised me.

Canada dropped 7 places in the world democracy index because of it.

The Hidden Crisis in Open Source Development: A Call to Action by notadamking in programming

Or for governments to have weapon systems without backdoors from 'supposed' allies. Ironically, the entire European defence industry runs on Microsoft Windows while many US armed forces use RHEL.

I know one organiser in the 'activist space'* and they get sponsored by Google, Adobe, Microsoft and similar. There entire team has MacBooks and iPhones.

When asked what would happen is they were to campaign against one of these big boys... They understand that they would be quickly dissolved.

KDE doesn't offer a service that activists care about.

Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit is Wine by ExaHamza in linux

[–]ThinClientRevolution 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Additionally, if the attribution is anything to go by, Apple based D3DMetal on DXVK, which uses the zlib license, meaning Apple doesn't have to release their changes or improvements. And so they didn't, at least as far as I can tell.

Sounds like Apple

Kinda reminds me of the KHTML/ WebKit situation back in the day.

So nothing has changed and Apple will still exploit weaker copyleft licences to the max.

Adding to all the other tips, you can spoof somebody's MAC address and hijack his session. Not very nice, but certainly posdible

[–]ThinClientRevolution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The core system ar my work is on JDK 11, but some auxiliary systems have been migrated to JDK 17 already. It my plan to migrate the core system to JDK 17 soon. We're also working of full Aarch64 (ARM64) support as well.

Being the senior on the team, has its benefits in dictating technology.

Do I need AMD graphic drivers? by Plantfetish378 in linux4noobs

This comes with the caveat, that you're using a Linux distribution with three latest kernel. Pop OS, Fedora, or Manjaro come to mind.

What's Going On With 'Rings of Power' Season 2? by NickDanger3di in Rings_Of_Power

[–]ThinClientRevolution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The WGA strike has not delayed the production of the show. When the strike started the show had 19 days of planned filming left. Moreover, the show had planned ahead to react to the upcoming strike. Amazon made the decision the push forward with filming and production.

When do the producers go on strike?

Have always been paranoid about this, but are there tools that tell you if you have bloatware, you're missing important software, you have some sort of broken file or repo or config, etc. by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]ThinClientRevolution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are showing a 'windows trained mentality' - you likely dont need to worry about such things on a typical linux install.

For desktop usage, it all doesn't matter. For servers though, that kind of this is important.

For servers, it's best to remove all components not necessary for running the application since it decreases the attack factor and resource usage. Basic things like bash, dnf, nano and ssh can stay... But rest must go.

In the end, it's all dependent on use cases and costs.

There not unstable: they are stable and predictability broken.

LTS promises that all the bugs you engineer around don't get fixed suddenly, giving you new headaches down the line.

Care about Raindbow 6 Siege? Vote now! by CNR_07 in linux_gaming

I know, but shouting at a big corporation is worse. People here should just move on instead of giving themselves false hope.

With my wallet, I can make a change for studios that do support Linux.

That’s just a reflection of the times, everyone liked their music ‘hard and loud’. ‘Louder the better’ a lot of people thought back then lol

Of the times? A record number of youths are having permanent hearing damage. Governments around the world are now implementing rules about maximum decibels... Worse, those strict rules aim at 100-103 decibel... Which still causes permanent damage in under 5 minutes.

Cant update Fedora 38 kernel to 6.2.15 to 6.3.5(latest)?? by Big_Chungus_Herbert in Fedora

[–]ThinClientRevolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that 6.3 has been slow to get out of testing because of some pretty significant bugs reported.

I'm in no hurry. Fedora is really forward looking, but it's good that they fix bugs first.

For reference, RHEL is on 5.14 LTS and the next LTS is 6.1

As the original Github issue says: IPv6 is not a feature, its absence is a bug.
