I thought defederation meant that you wouldn’t be able to see the posts either? For example, quite a few Lemmy instances defederated lemmynsfw.com because they didn’t want their users seeing NSFW content.
I always pick up everything and salvage or sell, just so I don’t have to worry about not having enough money or mats to do upgrades later.
I get the sentiment though. In World Tier 3 at lvl 55, your loot drops start getting capped pretty heavily in terms of stats. I was pretty much getting garbage loot, even if they were sacred, and I got to a point where I was just blindly salvaging all rares and most legendaries unless they had aspects that were right for my build.
I wanted to get some tips on Rogue and hopefully some build ideas, and holy Tyrael, is that place a cesspool of toxicity. If you havent played the game, from the opinions of the locals you’d had thought this game is the worst thing since WW2, every class is basically unplayable and unless you can steamroll bosses 20+ higher...
A ton of gaming forums attract a lot of toxicity for some reason. If you ever browse the Steam Discussion forums for a multiplayer game, you’ll see the same toxicity. I don’t know what it is with gaming culture these days, but it’s frankly awful. I can’t even point it out without being labeled a boomer lol. People have this weird need to dunk on others. Whatever happened to just having fun with a game?
Haha I love these random moments with people. I always join in on events whenever I see someone doing them, even though I know the loot is probably gonna be crap for me. Early on, there were people who would blitz in and help me out with a tough event, and now I am the one blitzing in and helping others.
I do wish there was a “You’re welcome” emote though. The closest we have is Cheers, but that just makes your character say “Impressive”, which really isn’t a cheer at all.
I am actually wondering whether they’ll start considering a Flatpak version of Resolve. Seems like Blackmagic is reluctant to support anything other than RHEL and CentOS, and RedHat seems to be moving towards Flatpak anyways, given their recent move to stop shipping LibreOffice.
I get where Jeff Geerling is coming from, but I think RedHat has a point as well.
I think a lot of people are coming at this from the perspective that RedHat themselves are just repackaging open source code and putting it behind a paywall, instead of also being one of the top contributors of software and bug fixes into the Linux ecosystem. Jeff mentions that Redhat is based on other open source software like the Linux kernel, but at the same time doesn’t mention that they’re also one of the leading contributors to it. I mean seriously, good luck using Linux without a single piece of RedHat code and see how far that gets you. If you’re entering the discussion from that perspective of “Redhat is simply just taking other people’s work as well”, it’s easy to have a biased view and start painting RedHat as a pure villain.
I also think that people are downplaying exactly how much effort it takes to build an enterprise Linux system, support customers at an engineering level, and backport patches, etc. Having downstream distributions straight up sell support contracts on an exact copy of your work won’t fly or be considered fair in any other business situation and I get why RedHat as a business doesn’t want to go out of their way to make that easy.
And it’s not like Redhat isn’t contributing the developments that happen in RHEL back into the FOSS community. That’s literally what CentOS Stream is and will continue to be, alongside their other upstream contributions.
Does it suck that we won’t have binary compatibility between Alma / Rocky and RHEL, yes it is frustrating as a user! Does it suck that we once got RHEL source for free and now we have to resort to Centos Stream? Yes! But the reality too is that open source STILL needs sources of income to pay developers to work on the Linux ecosystem, which is getting bigger and more complicated every day. That money has to come from somewhere, just sayin.
Except they’re aren’t violating the GPL at all. Their source code is still available to subscribers (and it isn’t behind a paywall because you can get a free license) and available to the public via CentOS Stream. Their code also goes into upstream projects as well.
The GPL exists so that companies can’t just take the code and contribute nothing back. But that isn’t what Redhat is doing here so I find your accusations that Redhat is exploiting users to be very hyperbolic.
The source code is still available via CentOS Stream though. Does the GPL cover having to give redistribution rights to the exact same code used to replicate a certain build of a product?
Which means it’s not bug-for-bug which is quite frankly critical to any dev, enterprise or otherwise…They may be targeting other distros, but it affects all developers who just want to test their applications.
With the free RHEL licenses, I don’t think developers targetting RHEL are going to be affected at all by this, short of having to signup for an extra account. I also don’t think that there’s going to be many situations where a dev would accidentally redistribute in a way that’s so detrimental to RedHat’s business that it gets their license suspended.
You’re right that its mainly targeted at downstream distros and that’s where I think RedHat has a point. I think that it’s entirely fair for RedHat to be annoyed that someone can build a RHEL bug-for-bug compatible Linux distro and then sell support licenses off of it, which is literally RHEL’s business model.
That’s just my two cents. There’s really not many ways for a company to survive entirely off of open-source development like RedHat does and if we start saying that bug-for-bug compatible versions of their software have to exist, then we’ve essentially turned their business model into donations and it would lead to them dying anyways.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not entirely happy about RedHat’s changes, but I also don’t see anyone in this thread suggesting a viable alternative for RedHat to pursue and they’re just piling on the hate. It’s like saying, “Hey RedHat, sorry you’re dying. Thanks for all your hard work, okay good luck, bye.”
Whether the GPL says the redistributed code has to be a bug-for-bug compatible copy of RHEL is up for lawyers to decide. In my mind, saying “I am not running Software Foobar, I am running Software Foobar released a few months ago” seems like a silly distinction in this case, especially when talking about the health of FOSS.
I had been holding off on a laptop purchase waiting for framework to ship an AMD board, but they took so long that I had to buy another laptop instead. The new models they were showing off at Computex look so cool though. I am really excited about their swappable GPUs.
Every release fixes more bugs for the advanced DAW usecase. Personally, I’ve already switched from JACK to pipewire-jack and it’s felt like a drop-in replacement.
Yeah, I’ve been missing a ton of comment replies from lemmy.world and it’s frustrating. I am wondering if it’s because they’re still on 0.17.4 instead of 0.18.
Sorry to break it to ya, but if you’re using Linux you’re swallowing RedHat code like a snake eating an alligator.
Plus, firewalld is GPL2 licensed, so does it really matter that the code came from RedHat? The whole point of that license is to ensure FOSS is healthy even though companies whose business practices you disagree with contribute to it.
Yeah there’s a lot of synergies that can be done to dish out massive damage. My issue is that I feel like I can never figure out these things on my own. I always have to rely on a guide. Makes me feel like I am copying someone else’s homework. My first build that I listed was done without a guide and just based on what I thought would be fun. Second build was using a guide and it completely outclasses my first, but I also don’t think I would have ever discovered it on my own, especially because it relies on Lucky Hit, which is a mechanic that’s not really well explained in the game.
Omg, I totally didn’t remember that. Yes on my laptop, SDDM looks super tiny while the cursor is gigantic. Hopefully that’s all fixed with the new release.

I feel like you’re just doing the same thing but from the other side. You’re dismissing other people’s experiences with Wayland simply because it doesn’t line up with what you’re personally seeing on your specific hardware.
On my Radeon 680M, Wayland has been an absolute no-go for gaming in terms of input latency and frame pacing. I tried it with Valheim and God of War in KDE Wayland and the performance is drastically worse than KDE X11. Other games like Spiderman Miles Morales show less of a performance gap, but it’s still there. And yes I tried it very recently.
Well, user traffic has returned to normal, but we also have to consider that it’s just traffic. Some of that traffic is also a bunch of people talking about Reddit, protesting, etc.
That being said, I don’t think Reddit will die from this, but it doesn’t need to in order for the Fediverse to succeed. All it needs is to push enough people onto federated services and kickstart it, just like Twitter did with Mastodon. We aren’t going to all switch overnight, it will be a gradual process.
Before we get too reactionary here, it could make sense to have people focus on the CentOS stream codebase for upstream dev, instead of Redhat having to manage upstreamed code targeting all the different releases of RHEL no?
And can’t Rocky Linux and Alma Linux just simply get source code via the partner program? Or does this change prevent them from doing so? You’d think that Redhat would want projects like Rocky and Alma around as a taste-testing lure for RHEL, considering that Redhat makes their money on support rather than RHEL itself.
