I'm pretty sure that's all tongue-in-cheek. Giving people the benefit of the doubt is a good default setting.

I'm a programmer with pretty bad astigmatism, and didn't go to an eye doctor until my late twenties. I had never worn glasses before that, and had no idea how fucked my vision was.

Yet, I still have no problem writing code in dark mode without glasses. Even though the text is blurry, I've gotten used to it. I squint a lot, and idk if there are any negative consequences from doing that, but glasses tend to tire out my eyes faster, so I sometimes prefer the blurriness.

Lol I had the same procedure and sat in my car after calling someone to come pick me up, but they took too long and I decided to just drive myself anyways. I couldn't read signs, but traffic lights and other cars were visible enough. I bet there are a lot of old people on the road driving around regularly with eyesight that bad or worse.

They actually sell polarized glasses for this purpose. I know because my eye doctor recommended it, but I went with regular glasses because clear vision is for the weak.

Higher level package managers like yum and dnf/dnf5 have implemented their own enforcing signature modes, enabled by default since the beginning of Fedora. This change brings the RPM side default behavior to this millenium.

So it seems it only applies to manually installing RPMs, but I think most people probably use dnf or yum to install packages

He's not just "in the same room", he's continuing to work with FUTO after this enormous red flag. You don't just accidentally stumble into a room with fucking moldbug of all people.

I don't consider myself a social justice warrior or anything, but I'm strongly against fascism, and am of the opinion that taking money from fascists, or engaging with them in any way (besides a fist to the face) makes you a collaborator, no matter what your personal opinions are. The "ends justify the means" thinking from the GOP is why we are where we are.

Does tech bro Erin Wolf care about right to repair? Or does he see it as a trojan horse for his fascist agenda? Idk, but it seems Rossmann is happy to play along as they pay him.

Idea for a nonprofit: subsidized food, but it doesn't deliver, and you have to walk really far to reach it. Like a restaurant in the middle of the woods where there's no parking for two miles, at the top of a steep hill, etc.

Goodbye American obesity!

Thanks to you I just learned how to find the alt text on FF mobile (actually Fennec on FDroid, but it's the same browser)

This is nonsense. Red Hat has done some shitty things over the years, and I personally don't trust them after the IBM merger and CentOS debacle, but they are one of the most important allies of the Linux ecosystem. They're not just resellers that package up free software into a branded distro product, they employ full-time engineers to develop/maintain/contribute to that software and the kernel.

Are these unapologetically authoritarian young people incapable of nuance in the room with us right now?
