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.

Akchually, since we're being annoyingly corrective, shouldn't it be "themself"?

OR is it able-ist to assume the commentor does not express multiple personalities?

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.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

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.

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

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

Please stop slcalling communities "sublemmys"

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

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

Red panda is the obvious answer.

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.

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.

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

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

Nope. Never had one, and I'm old, lol.

I'll post when I have something worthwhile to post. Lemmy should go for quality over volume.

Probably more trouble than you're looking for, but I run an Asterisk VOIP server. I keep a couple long term numbers and sometimes cycle through disposable numbers.

Occam's razor says, "no".

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.
