Any Discord fediverse alternative???
Matrix and clients for it like Element have always been my go to for federated chat like discord/teams/mattersmost. The main missing feature is voice channels imho.

Thoughts on RHEL going closed source ?
More detials found here: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream?sc_cid=701f2000000tyBjAAI
Seem more accurate that their public repos will be closed, so now only centos-stream will be public. You will still have full access to source through their developer program or as a paying customer.

What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows?
Mod culture is always odd to me. I kind of wish there was more community modderation, and less dictators for life running things.

They should challenge him to get a peer review through a respected journal instead....

Hey Apple, any chance you wanna maybe... contribute... to WINE?
I mean honestly, the bigger shift would have been just implementing vulkan instead of trippling down on their own graphics interface...
But Apple wouldn't want to lose its huge advantage on intesive graphical apps eye roll
Like I get asking Microsoft to give up DirectX is asking for them to lose market grip, but what grip is metal actually giving Apple?

Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?
To be honest I don't think we are ready for that level of scrutiny. I would imagine if he were to agree, he would do research first, and the Fediverse has a lot of unanswered questions for the mainstream person.
Can the Fediverse sustain users, both in usability and costs (see also "Can we keep up with user growth")? How will NFSW moderation work, since so far I see most instances saying it won't and just shutting down that vector of work and questions? How does regulation or working with authorities look like on the Fediverse (this is antithetical to most Fediverse goals, but for main stream people a normal question)? How will user verification work for celebrities or important figures? What are the ethical consideration to support devs, like the lemmy devs, with controversial opinions?
Some of these are whataboutism when comparing to Reddit. Some of these just stuff the average Redditor and Fediverse user couldn't care less about, or frankly don't want asked, but these are top questions I would expect a liberal journalist to be asking, even if they are generally anti-corperate and pro-grassroots.

If you suddenly had "fuck you" money what would be the first thing you did?
Start a housing coop and community land trust to keep housing in the hands of people that need it. Rapid public transport for the housing coop for work, groceries, etc. Buy the old tracks and turn them into intercity people carries.
Buy the land from friends and family to pay off their debts and give it to the community land trust.
Start a community coop grocery store, pharmacy, clinic, etc.
Start a community electric coop focused on being a microgrid first and connection the national grid second.
Start a community fiber and wireless ISP coop, and fighting tool and nail to end the current ISPs state monpoly on shitty expensive service.
Try and create guerenteed minimums for both so no one has to disconnect because the money istoo tight.

Parents who tried their best to raise their kids to be good humans but they turned out to be bad, what do you wish you did differently?
I think people really forget the "it takes a village" lesson andremebrer that no kid is raised only by their mom and dad.

Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently)
Reply in thread
The snap store is proprietary, flatpaks handle the graphical app space better, OCI containers handle the service space better, and really high reported load times.
Flatpaks are awesome IMHO.

What bots would you like to see on Lemmy?
One major bot that is fediverse specific. A community syncing bot. So if two communities from different instances want to, they could have a bot that crossposts everything between each other and delete one deleted between each other. A more advanced feature to have is to have it only do certain tags, so for example [email protected] with a help/question and fedora tags could be auto posted to [email protected], and [email protected] .

To be honest building a edit history views makes more sense to me. This project is opensource we can do more than work around.

Why don't we use PeerTube to host the videos for Lemmy/kbin?
I personally 100% support the use of peertube as the primary video platform. It really seems to go towards addressing the cost issue with being a video hosting platform. The only step I would take further is having IPFS being the cold storage backend for images as well, and integrate both into the app/website levels, so clients can participate in contributing sharing. If needed, a proxy service so that clients that are concerned about IP leakage, but can't use TOR or a VPN have an option.

RHEL and Fedora for home use
RedHat is a major sponsor of Fedora, but Fedora is a separate entity, so there is no know plan of them moving away from being a registered public good and no good reason for them to.

I do for sure. For tech questions, forum threads tend to answer my question or lead to more things to dig into, as compared to sponsored or super amateur blogs with confidently give me mediocre or useless answers.

Flatpak vs Snap vs Native Packages
Flatpaks are great for GUI apps, and have a sandboxing system that allow them to work well on any system that support flatpak. This allows devs to package once run anywhere, saving Dev time! It also has a portals system to allow for better system integration of the granular permissions needed for the app to actually work (nobody wants a truly isolated sandbox for every app).
Snap is less featureful for GUI apps, but work closer to how native packages do. The real issue is the proprietary app store required for it, making non-foss. If you want the same benefits of snap, check out Guix and NixOS both of which have a more cleaner design, and work better IMHO.
