Two of them just look like dog food

I recently (a few months ago) built a new high-end server for my homelab, and bought 512GB of DDR4 ECC RAM for around $510. I just looked it up, and those exact same modules are around $2.5k to $3.5k for the same amount. That's more than I paid for the entire machine.

I've seen this joke done hundreds of times on TV and in movies growing up, but never experienced it myself. I have pretty much always lived in the suburbs in homes with their own water heaters, yet I still have yet to experience this phenomenon.

I don't doubt that it's possible, but the conditions to "trigger" it are probably very specific to regions where film makers and comic artists live.

It means you're not a man, you pussy!

...it also implies that "being a man" is not determined by your birth, but rather by your decisions and lifestyle, and that everyone is in fact gender fluid and able to change their gender at any time.

So basically, toxic masculinity is actually woke as fuck

I don't like this. Flatpaks are a huge step forward, but Fedora Flatpaks are two steps back. I'm not at all convinced by his arguments here or in the rejected proposal.

The only potential benefit that might make sense is that they will contain the same Fedora-specific patches found in the fedora RPMs... Except that is exactly the type of thing Flatpaks were supposed to prevent! Neither users nor developers want a middle man adding or removing features for their software. It has historically been one of the biggest pain points for migrating to Linux as a user, or supporting it as a developer. It was necessary in the past for compatibility reasons, but Flatpaks fixed that. Now, developers can publish one Flatpak that will work on all distros, and users don't have to wonder if they'll be able to use some app or not, or whether it will work... Unless they're on Fedora

But I don't like this post nor the wording in the proposal. He doesn't actually outline why he wants this to go through. I'm not claiming any tinfoil hat conspiracy behind the scenes, it's just his argument is not well articulated. If someone wants to use an app with Fedora-specific patches for some reason, they can layer the RPM on top of their Atomic distro. There's no reason to add uncertainty and confuse users by turning those into flatpaks.

If you already know cron and are too lazy to learn something new, then use cron with the knowledge that it's a personal failure and not a real technical decision... Otherwise, use systemd timers.

I know nothing about what it takes to develop a laptop. Are these issues (BIOS updates, virtualization support, USB4 support, etc) something the laptop manufacturer needs to develop solutions for in-house? Wouldn't that be the job of Qualcomm? Or are Tuxedo saying that these things aren't supported on the Linux side yet? Qualcomm claimed to be contributing to the kernel last year, so idk if that just hasn't happened yet or if they just lied.

Either way this is disappointing, but understandable. There's no sense in working to release a laptop with previous-gen hardware that's not going to be competitive.

More devs need to start doing AGPL with other licenses available for a licensing fee. Or better yet, price it based on revenue with the LGPL/GPL/Apache version free for orgs under $1bn annual revenue, and everyone else has to pay up.

The OSI was a mistake. They were wrong, Stallman was right. How long until open source devs finally accept this?

You can't spell "INCEL" without "C"
