I haven't been really keeping up with this RHEL drama, so I'm probably going to regret making this comment. But about this bug merge request in particular, you have to remember that RHEL's main target audience is paying enterprise customers. It's the "E" right there in RHEL. So stability is a high priority for their developers, since if they accidentally introduce a bug to their code, then they'll have a lot of unhappy paying customers.

The next comment that was cropped out of that screenshot basically explains exactly that. While the Red Hat developers probably appreciate the bug fix, the reality is that the bug was listed as non-critical, and the Red Hat teams didn't have the capacity to adequately regression test and QA the merge request. But the patch was successfully merged into Fedora, so it will eventually end up in RHEL through that path, which is exactly what the Fedora path is for.

The blowup about this particulat bug doesn't seem justified to me. Red Hat obviously can't fix and regression test every single bug that's listed in their bug tracker. So why arbitrarily focus on this one medium priority bug? if it were listed as a critical bug, then yes, the blowup would be justified.

Yeah, the repost bots just don't work. Reading the comments is half the fun of using reddit/lemmy, but lemmy has a very small userbase still, so the comments are a little bit slow moving. Having a ton of reposts suddenly spammed in splits that small comment activity up to the point where comments basically don't exist and you're viewing a slideshow of empty threads.

You guys... the lemmynsfw community had the term "child-like" in its sidebar. Why is everybody conveniently forgetting that? Don't even try saying that's not a disgusting request to have in a sidebar too.

CentOS Stream is the staging ground for RHEL. It isn't a bleeding edge distro that can accept any merge request willy-nilly. For the reason why, reread my original comment about the nature of enterprise support.

Fedora is the distro that is more bleeding edge in the RHEL realm. This merge request was more suited for Fedora, and the fix was successfully applied to Fedora. So, I fail to see any irrational actions from Red Hat here.

That YSK thread from yesterday inspired me to create a new account with an anonymous relay email, instead of my personal email. I'm not sure how much I would've actually had to worry about if I kept using my personal email, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry.

I also probably could've just changed the email in my first account instead of creating a brand new account, but I don't really know how data is persisted or anything. That was another case of better to be safe than sorry.

This is some bullshit. The first time Russia blockaded Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea, they had the plausible deniability that they weren't aware it was going to cause mass food shortages in poorer countries. Now they know full well that's what will happen, and they're doing it again.

The West would be justified in clearing a path in the Black Seas themselves, in my opinion. Russia's being little terrorist bitches.

It's the admin's house rules. They're the ones running the server. ![email protected] is only locked right now, so the admin can appoint a new mod team and unlock it again, if they want.

OP was only asking for a rule in lemmy.world, not all of lemmy.

I'm a "clean install a LTS release every two years" kind of guy. I keep the default wallpaper because it's a reminder of what release I'm on. Kind of like a changing of the seasons type of thing.

What's the big blue thing, and are all the "walls"/white clusters orbiting around it? Sorry, I don't know anything about astronomy but I find that photo fascinating. I didn't know the universe was being mapped out like that haha.

I don't like this NPC thing

Is this supposed to be funnier than the exiting vim jokes?

I wouldn't do more than complain to management and leave bad reviews on all the popular apartment websites. And if you're able to move easily, then definitely find a new apartment for when your lease is up.

I lived the apartment life for 10 years, and there are certain things that are just inevitables that you have to learn to live with. Like people stomping around at night and weird smells invading your apartment. It sucks, but that's just apartment life, and you can't really do much more than complain to management and hope they do something. Like for example, even if you did come up with some devious scheme to annoy your neighbor or something, then it will probably ignite a war that causes you a ton of stress, and if you win and the neighbor leaves, then there's no guarantee that the next person that moves in won't be a smoker either, so you'd potentially have to do it all over again.

I don't know, it just sucks but it is what it is. While you continue to conplain to management though, you could also try buying some deodorizer devices. Like those things you put at the bottom of your door to seal it up better, and an air purifier.

Good, so this scenario was already planned for

Congrats! Best of luck on the new job!

Dang, that's a perfect response. Gives the disclaimer that they don't condone making a fart bomb, still gives a mild recipe, but also gives the bonus ingredients as a wink wink type of thing. Now I know I should add lentils, broccoli, cabbage, onions, and a carbonated drink to this recipe for maximum effect.

Thanks ChatGPT!

I don't get my news from any social media platform, including lemmy, no offense to lemmy. I used to do that with reddit, but it's just too unhinged getting your news that way.

I stick with Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times, in that order. I also use Google News specifically for local news, but I don't even peek at the main world news feed there.

More generally speaking, I stick to the old school human editorial board for my news. News that's presented to me on AP, for example, has already been filtered by a board of humans who are smarter than me and whose opinions I trust on the state of the world. Opening up your selection of news to an easily gameable social media algorithm is just more trouble than it's worth, in my opinion.

Liftoff is what I've settled on, so far. I've found it to have the best performance of all the Android options.

Bach's Chaconne from his violin partita in D minor.

It's a song that was written around the time when Bach's wife died, and if you listen hard enough, you can almost hear that it's about her. It sounds like there are two voices, a low voice and high voice, who meet and fall in love with each other, and experience all the highs and lows of life and then are torn away from each other by death in the end. And it's all done with just notes on a violin. And what's more, it was written 300 years ago! It trips me out thinking about how somebody can write something so epic for a single instrument so long ago.

Jacsha Heifetz's version of it is my favorite. Some people don't like how fast he plays it, but he does the ending the best, in my opinion. You can hear the pain and denial and chaos of the two voices trying to enjoy their last moments together and leave nothing unsaid between each other most clearly the way Heifetz plays it.

Itzhak Perlman's version is very good too. He plays at a slower pace than Heifetz, and has a more epic sounding tone. The highs and lows are generally more epic sounding the Heifetz, but I don't quite understand how Perlman plays the ending. I have no doubt that he's trying to tell the same story as Heifetz, but there isn't any of that pain and chaos like Heifetz has. I've seen interviews with Perlman, and he seems like a very happy and well adjusted guy, so maybe that explains why his ending is so different. Maybe that's just how the ending is for happy people like that, and I can't comprehend it.

There are other good renditions to check out too, but Heifetz and Perlman are my favorites. Hillary Hahn and Nathan Milstein are other popular ones. Plus a bunch of others. That's another cool thing about Chaconne. Everybody has their own rendition.

If I have this correct:

• US, Ukraine, and Russia never signed on to the pact to ban cluster munitions
• Cluster munitions would be highly effective at clearing out Russia's entrenched defensive lines
• Ukraine is specifically requesting the munitions from the US
• Western artillery ammo is starting to run short, so cluster munitions are needed to buy time until artillery shell production ramps up next spring
• Russia is extensively using cluster munitions in Ukraine right now, and their munitions have a much worse dud rate than the western cluster munitions, so there's an argument that preventing Russia from being able to use their shittier cluster munitions is better in the long run

It sucks, but welcome to war
