You don’t have opposable thumbs, you ain’t pulling shit

This clearly goes against the intention of the GPL.

That I agree with. Maybe this will cause the FSF to create a 4th version.

I use Fedora, but I’m very uneasy with the fact that they are married to Red Hat. If things go south for Fedora, I hope a community driven fork can survive if not Fedora itself.

It’s free software, so you should be free to do with the code whatever you want as long as you don’t restrict the freedom of others.

Serious concern and asshole move? Yes. Gpl violation? Not sure. You could argue you are not restricted to do whatever you want with the code you receive with a subscription. But if you share the code, they don’t want you as a customer anymore and won’t give you new code. I don’t know if the GPL allows that.

Certainly in retrospect. Back then they defended the decision by saying they wanted to shift their resources to centos stream, and that would be fair enough. But now it’s clear that wasn’t their motivation at all. They wanted to kill the free RHEL fork in the hope to attract more customers, as a lot of people already suspected.

I agree. Amazon is infamous for that strategy as well. They either buy competitors or make a loss until the competitor is bankrupt.

Youtube most likely never made any money. Hosting these vast amounts of video is expensive. Google stopped telling us how much they money youtube made them lose. You would think they would start bragging when they could make a profit off of it.

That being said, this still sucks of course.

Thanks

Crazy, that should be an uncontroversial statement. It’s sad that people on the left have radicalized too and are sometimes going too far, giving the right a larger attack surface. Of course regular algorithm driven social media stimulate radicalization because rage drives up engagement.

What caused the Digg exodus?

Even just using plasma I stead of gnome feels a little weird now, like it’s too windows-y lol

Out of the box it is, but KDE is very customizable, much more than Windows. You can make it behave like almost any other desktop environment.

Something like the multireddit function then, maybe? Custom feeds where you can add any communities that you want (doesn’t even have to be the same topic).

I don’t think it makes sense to combine the feeds at a federation level (which I think is what you’re talking about, but correct me if I’m wrong).

No I was thinking about a client side solution. I don’t even know what multireddit is but it sounds like that is what I meant. Though since MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com mentioned it, syncing of communities between instances could also be a cool idea.

I didn’t even think about that, but that also seems like a really cool idea. They are not mutually exclusive, so hopefully we will see both in the future.

That will make you lose your post and comment history though.

I’m not a programmer and have very limited Github experience, but I’ll have a look.

This is a very long-winded way to say, I think the solution to your problem is just joining both communities, and you’ll see both in your feed as a result.

Sure, but all communities of all kinds of topics are in my feed. A way to organize by topic would be nice.

>Thanks, I had no idea. I did try the search function but I didn’t use the “!”, so that was probably the problem.

Nevermind, this does not work every time it seems. Searching for !games@lemmy.world gives me 0 results. Thankfully I can reach it via lemmy.ml/c/games@lemmy.world.

Edit: And yes, I am searching all communities, not just local.
