I dont understand this obsession with endless growth. Eventually a service will reach the point where the influx of users isn’t enough to continuously offset the loss of users. A sustainable service will naturally ebb and flow.
This has actually been a long time coming. The first iteration was a FreeBSD-based distro back in 2013. Then an Ubuntu variant replaced it shortly after. The DE is UKUI, and it’s what « makes a Kylan » it seems. openKylin seems to be an all-around improvement over Ubuntu Kylin, and it uses APT as well. It looks pretty, but things still need some serious polish.
A lemmy instance full of trolls and right wingers has been defederated by most major instances. This has the effect of closing them off from everyone else. They hate this because it kills their engagement. Nice profile pic btw 😄
The hand feeding them is the cross-pollination of community clones to paid subscriptions. RedHat would have never grown as big as it has if it didn’t have the backing of people who learned how to use it, and enterprises who built things to run on it. We use Rocky because it allows us to rapidly test ideas without having to deal with licensing issues. When we are ready to deploy, we use RHEL so we can leverage the paid support. I myself only learned RedHat systems because CentOS was free and had a vibrant community. They have killed off CentOS and are now playing games with community distros, removing that onramp for learners and potential paying customers.
Moving distros is an issue primarily due to the differences between them for configuration and compliance, but it is a cost that comes once. If they continue to squeeze customers, those who can move will.
I literally just got Rocky installed on two servers. We were going to field test before migrating to a paid subscription. That sure as hell isn’t happening now. If IBM cannot help but to bite the hand that fed it, then I have little confidence they aren’t going to turn into another Oracle.
It makes me sad because, in the spirit of do not go gentle I feel great things should go out with a bang. A commémoration of life well lived. But it was quiet brilliance that made his films great. Melancholy is my mood, but the artist is to be respected.
I wonder if the coming decade will be for Asia what LGBT rights advancements were in the previous decade fro the West. 2010 through 2020 was a time of huge advancement in the U.S. and some of Europe. Will 2020 through 2030 prove to be the same for Asia?
I just hope it still runs well on the Steam Deck with the updated system requirements. Honestly the new requirements (and the content in the expansion) are what the game should have launched with.
I think the federated nature of the platform may help to reinforce those positive attributes. Unmoderated instances with low quality content are at risk of being defederated, and as evident by the mod log, the mods do enforce rules on inflammatory and low quality content.
I've found that when I'm cooking something and it tastes like "it needs something" that I can't quite put my finger on, it has usually been acid that it needed.
Of course right after I downloaded it on my steam deck lol.
Where is that last pasta from? Googled it but got nothing.
Most sane ansible user

I’m glad Beehaw decided to. Nothing makes them seethe more than their echo chamber of hate not getting any attention.
You make a good point. I imagine RedHat is doing this less because of Rocky/Alma, and more so because of Oracle.

Ugh that was my biggest gripe with reddit. Open a thread just to see the same 5 jokes repeated over and over in different ways to try and reap karma.

Any news as to the cause?
I primarily use Kagi, but I will fall back to DDG when I need to.
I…don’t hate it? Why am I not horribly offended by this?
