Exactly. To add on to this, there were companies deploying clones and then buying a RHEL license to get access to support for all of it. These are the same kinds of people who run their businesses on pirated software. We should have zero sympathy for them.

Projects like Rocky and Alma may have been valuable for developers and small projects, but they were also enabling freeloaders. Looking at this whole thing objectively, it is clear that Red Hat is targeting the freeloaders who run their business on CentOS and are scamming support. That is evident in the fact that they are giving away free licenses for small projects.

Alien was actually my first movie, although I was too young to remember. But I remember Aliens. That movie scared the shit out of me. I slept with the lights on for a long time. I still don’t like those movies.

Can confirm it’s terrible all around. FSD is horrendous. It also has problems in bright sun and rain.

Crap article that doesn’t even have the video in question. Here it is. The Cybertruck sure does look unimpressive in the video. It’s making weird rattling sounds too. This thing looks like a shit box.

To my knowledge, they did not violate the GPL. The sources are still available. They just don’t organize it in a way that it’s easy to build an exact clone of RHEL. If you want that, you have to have a RHEL subscription.

SUSE is going in a similar direction and not getting much heat. Leap is apparently going away in favor of Slowroll, which is similar to CentOS. If you want stable, you have to pay. Meanwhile, they are taking shots at Red Hat and throwing a little money at making a RHEL clone.

It’s a way of telling them to rein things in and stop committing war crimes because our patience and support has limits. Israel will not agree to a ceasefire so calling for one would just make Biden look weak when they refuse. Calling for a pause is a warning shot and easy to walk back if Israel behaves better. A pause is necessary to ensure civilian safety and unnecessary once that’s less of an issue. Biden can still ratchet up the pressure without going as far as calling for a ceasefire if Israel doesn’t comply - have a little spat in Congress about spending, be less vocal in support, have a few slow weapons shipments, etc.

Edit: Calling for a ceasefire also sends the wrong message to the other side as well as our allies. He’s in a pretty tough spot.

Those are very reasonable conditions. I hope that’s all it is.

Yeah, the situation reminds me of BlackBerry. I had the 8900 and it was my favorite phone. I remember when they finally did have a little App Store thing and it was terrible. They threw it together in a hurry so I can only imagine how shitty the dev tools were.

He will pass a new law allowing him to fire insurance companies’ boards and install his own people. Make America Florida! Yeehaw!

Where I’m going with the comparison to VW is we don’t know where that rabbit hole goes with Tesla. Diesel-gate just kept getting worse for VW the more investigators dug into it. Tesla appears to be an even less professional operation. I can only imagine what would come out if there was a real investigation there.

I remember it being good hardware and the OS was actually really good. It felt very fast when a lot of Android phones still felt sluggish. What they really screwed up was the third party apps. Nobody was making anything for it and they didn’t give developers a reason to. It was a product that should have succeeded if not for bad management.

The first iPhone didn’t come with those things. There wasn’t even an App Store until a year and a half after it came out. The first gen was pretty much crap. It didn’t have 3g when other phones of the time did. It had the best browser but it was slow as shit. The whole page would turn gray when you scrolled around. There was no copy/paste. You couldn’t sync with Exchange. It was missing basic features that other phones of the time had. It was probably the 3GS or the 4 when it got really good.
