I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd
Things feel "weird" when you aren't used to it. For me, using Chrome is weird. Not a legit argument here.

The fact that you need a group policy to turn this kind of garbage off is ridiculous.

Red Hat stops all upstream and downstream work on desktop Bluetooth, multimedia applications (namely totem, rhythmbox and sound-juicer) and libfprint/fprintd - linux - kbin.social
power-profiles-daemon is now archived? Dammit, that was a big one for Fedora.

Didn't you see the slave labor clause in there? You're indebted for at least 3 decades when you start a new GPL project.

Reddit API changes are imminent. Here’s what’s happening to your favorite apps [Updated]

I think there will be some willing to pay, but it is heavily dependent on whether people actually decide to jump over to the Fediverse or not. We really need to work hard while we still have time to drive content and community here to show users that there is a path forward.

What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows?
Sanely use multiple workspaces.

Basically, it's saying, use Nextcloud, don't get fooled by these privacy-oriented sites that may have some sort of open source client to access the service, but is running on pure closed-source infrastructure. I would agree that it's smarter to use Nextcloud instead, but for email? Yeah, I'm not self-hosting that.

Fedora 40 Eyes Dropping GNOME X11 Session Support
If you're on NVIDIA or KDE, you may have been thinking that this Wayland thing is just not working. For those of us running Intel on GNOME, it has been a smooth ride for a long time now. So, we just have vastly different experiences.

Uses old Fedora logo? Check. So small it can barely be read? Check. Using distros nobody ever heard of? Check. Must be from India.

Dear Red Hat: Are you dumb?
Reply in thread
I don't know about that. IBM is traditionally stupid, yeah, but they wanted Red Hat for a reason. The CentOS debacle altogether was Red Hat, not IBM, and I don't think they are doing too much day to day operational mandates for stuff like this. I would not be surprised if this was just a Red Hat thing. I know it's easy to blame IBM, but I don't think it's that simple.

Check Out These Linux-Related Magazines on Kbin

Instances exist for more than just to access singular communities. You can access our stuff here, and we will go to y'all as well. This is no small community either. We choose to be on kbin for a reason.

Fedora Workstation 40 Considering To Implement Privacy-Preserving Telemetry
Fine article, but definitely a bit of alarmist take by OP. This isn't a for-profit situation, and devs don't give a shit about spying on you. It's something opt-in. Opt-out is not even allowed. So, ya know sites like https://linux-hardware.org ? That already exists. Steam Deck, the Linux world's darling has actual anonymized telemetry data that is forced. So, yeah, let's calm down with this alarmist attitude. This isn't Windows land.

Open source developers - have the recent moves by RedHat changed your opinion of using non-GPL licenses?
Reply in thread
Not sure why you'd say that. Fedora is a lot more than just Red Hat, and there are no changes to the way that works.

Best article I've read about Kbin/Lemmy in mainstream media. Kudos to the author.

Are there any advantages of using Rust instead of C in the Linux kernel?
Reply in thread
It just depends on how isolated that part of the kernel is. Unsafe code should be done only in interop, and so it still theoretically has a memory safety benefit over C in that sense.
In terms of how much interop code needs to be written for Rust at this point is another discussion though.

No, it's ultimately a product of all the community that works on it. Red Hat doesn't drive the ship.
