I’ve been using Fedora for over 10 years. I used to have Nvidia issues, but those are all solved now.

Using it seems to be fine, but I would advise being wary and not giving Fedora/Red Hat any code or financial support. They do a lot of work for the US DoW, helping enable war crimes like murdering hundreds of school girls.

It’s almost like arrows point… in a direction. You may find in your life that arrows are indicating toward things that are not directly touching the end.

Yes

Of course the whole bourgeois class share common interests. But not entirely so. Else… why do tech giants oppose this move?

Good. This will be a good thing.

Uncontrolled social media has a lot of problems but pre-megacorp internet was at least one metric fuckton better than whatever this shit is we have now.

Basically all the tech giants oppose this move, though. This is pure government surveillance baby.

And rightly so, but I don’t think we’re blaming the individual here. Certainly shouldn’t be.

Oh yeah for sure, and I don’t mind Pneumoccocus chilling in my gut and respiratory tract, just leave my brain membranes alone.

Most of the ‘good’ that wasps do are the absolutely TINY parasitic and non-stinging wasps. I’m sure we can all appreciate their uses. I just want rid of the mid-size and above stinging wasps, the rest of them can keep predating and pollinating.

It’s like saying “stop hating bacterial meningitis, bacteria lives in your gut y’know!” Like yeah I just hate the bad one

And the bit where they criminalised over ten opposition parties?

there have been referenda to determine if elections should be held

??? I can’t find evidence of any such referenda. This seems to just be false. Do you just mean ‘survey’?

I am (and most people are) not saying Ukraine MUST hold elections tomorrow. But the meme’s point stands - that none of these people have a meaningful democratic mandate.

If you’re just doing normal sheet, you should ideally basically not even notice SELinux. And in that sense it’s good.

If you’re doing any dev or running any server software or some kind of freaky setup, my advice is disable it. At least all you have to do is turn a true into a false.

In a lot of distros at least, you can just reinstall in place, which has the same effect. But a different place for /home does feel a potentially more reliable method.

Linux permissions are obvious, straightforward, and very easy to change - They rule.

SELinux permissions are impossible to see, seemingly pointlessly more complex, and I don’t know how to check them or change them i.e. They drool.

As a power user who is constantly changing system stuff, installing weird stuff, running weird servers, disabling SELinux is like, step 2 of installing Linux for me (and honestly, even if you’re not a power user, I can assure you at least ONE issue you’ve faced was actually caused by SELinux under the hood). I have wasted whole days working out just that SELinux is causing my fucking issue, and then days more on how to fix the permissions, and then days more doing those again when those permissions RESET as it is wont to do and days more trying to make my needed changes permanent. And let’s not even get started on how to transplant an SELinux permissions structure from one disk to another. So instead of a week’s worth of frustrating work every year, I can spend one minute disabling SELinux.

Its implementation feels contradictory to the most basic principles of understandable and workable systems. It’s like the NSA wanted to make software that was the diametric opposite of the Zen of Python. It’s ugly, it’s implicit, it’s complicated, nested, dense, unreadable, full of special cases, and silent errors, it constantly guesses in the face of ambiguity (which is why I have to constantly correct it).

Basically, I have wasted too much of my life faffing with an opaque and ludicrously complex permissions layer that seems to be there solely as a ‘just in case’ my already existing permissions aren’t good enough.

It’s a good film, the premise is enough to make it good honestly. As films go, it could be better on all fronts, but they got their message across: That billionaires control all this shit extremely thoroughly, to the point that a society based on this mode of currency can never get better. Because as soon as living standards might improve for anyone, prices rise across the board to keep people where they are. And that poor people are deliberately kept devoid of choice so as to keep them poor, no matter how hard they work.

It occupies the exact same category as ‘Elysium’ in my mind - cool setting with an amazing and insightful premise. And an… average execution. I can enjoy a film like that better than the other way around.

Misleading headline, this was one example of many wrongs, some significantly more explicitly illegal:

She went to the employment tribunal, successfully claiming unfair dismissal, unauthorised deductions from wages, holiday pay, and being subjected to a detriment for making protected disclosure.

Given the pay claims, a significant portion of that money was clearly money she was already owed and earned anyway. This compensation probably wasn’t nearly enough.

A fair observation, but doesn’t it cut both ways?

If we can’t keep a democratic state with built-in systems for accountability and equity, in check, how can we possibly hold each other accountable without such systems?

I end up very concerned by this kind of thing. Big money in the Linux space very frequently (though not always) creates more closed, proprietary Linuxes, rather than expanding and improving the open-source wider ecosystem.

Yep, simple fossil fuel (and other) lobbying so they can get more government money instead, no matter how less efficient.

So we’re really gonna give up on this suddenly very successful renewable switch and instead kill humanity just to own the Chinese huh

I assumed it was a foreign thing, but no, it was actually made in America.
