My god, ISP email service. I know some stragglers have their email address still where I come from, but all that was migrated to a third party email provider instead. ISP email service.
Boy, that brings back memories.

Because, as always, the poor are kept poor and the rich are kept rich.
EDIT: did not know about the allegations from the former employee and it just saddens me. I was only aware of the cooling block and it’s auctioning when I wrote this.
This thread you made is cringe. Grow tf up and try to have some understanding for once in a while.
Big corporations will always pull fake apologies and complain that consumers are beligerent little hotheads who’s opinion doesn’t matter in the long run. You’re proving their point right now.
But if say LTT actually does pull out of this amicably and their words are followed by prompt action that remedies the situation, we can in turn look at Intel, AMD, Nvidia and the likes and say “see? That’s how it’s done”.
As tech jesus himself said in his expose video is that we all make mistakes.
Do not attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity, and the way LMG has been working has been stupid.
Don’t give the bastards an inch, I understand. But let us be clear about who the bastards are and I still don’t think LMG has gone over to the side of evil.
Now they’re stepping back, taking the time to make amens (I hope they really give that company they shafted a much needed boost for instance, as a bare minimum) and we should be here for that.
If you’re just here to whine, fine. But don’t think you’re adding to the conversation or saying anything meaningful, because you are in fact just trolling.
Again, try and have some understanding. It’s very important for us to do that, because secterianism and feudes will in the end hurt the community, and also the consumer, because we have to stay on top of this.
Is it because some of those fees are bullshit fees that target tech-ilitirate people?
This is the contentious part and also why I left Fedora.
Don’t get me wrong, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better community, better support or even a more innovative bunch. Besides RedHat’s involvement, Fedora has been in the vanguard for desktop technologies like PipeWire, Flatpaks, Wayland, heck they were one of the first to push systemd.
But my problem is that since RedHat holds sway over the Fedora leadership we cannot guarantee that the community will have the users best interests at heart.
So when people say “use a community distro”, they mean a non-captured one.
And again; Fedora is awesome, the community is awesome, been using it for years, but switched to NixOS like a month ago because I don’t trust the direction RedHat/IBM is taking Fedora.
Most likely they’ll push some of these projects to Fedora, make them maintain the projects, then some years down the line sell those projects as apart of their service.
There is a conflict of interest here and a clear opportunistic angle. RedHat wants to use the Fedora community as a free of charge testing grounds, in effect creating a userbase of free QA testers for future software.
This is predatory, it is an insult to the community, but the community is captured, and therefore will play ball with RedHat. This is the problem. If the community would give some assurances and protections, that would be nice, but so far it seems the Fedora community is more than willing to play ball with IBM/RedHat.
Seems like a lot of these “performance enhancing features” simply ignored security principles or tried to sidestep them, only for the features to introduce glaring security hole in the overall ISA, forcing people to then sidestep the supposed performance features so that it never mattered to begin with.
Are Intel, AMD and others pulling a fast one on us for the sake of gaining positive benchmarks?

Another fríggin’ Ubuntu distro. Can’t somebody just commit to Debian instead… please?
Meanwhile, in NixOS land:
It begs the question… what’s the boardroom random bullshit timeline?
When was it random cloud bullshit go and when was it random Blockchain bullshit go, and what other buzzwords almost guaranteed Silicon Valley tech bros tossed money in your face and at what point in time were they applicable?
I’m going to found a user community for it! I’m kind of cooky, so I’ll name it “the church of LDS”. Surely nothing litigious will happen.
Jokes aside, great work :)
Like throwing a swimming pool into the ocean.
Reject modernity. Return to Debian.
We are the children
How to minimize API usage: burn the user.
These companies getting creative, you guys.
See, the thing that pisses me off and is the reason why I moved away from Fedora (Silverblue) about a week ago is that Fedora is the base of RHEL. Future RHEL’s will be based off Fedora. The community therefor is providing free development for their pricey enterprise solution.
Now they’re adding insult to injury by wanting to enable telemetry metrics on the by default, claiming that the user has to opt in to report anything, but the fact is that the ordinary user might be paying that much attention. Sometime after the EULA might change and all that tasty dara will probably be harvested.
This is the threat of it. The Fedora community has been one of the best, if not the best Linux distribution community out there. Now RedHat/IBM is sowing the seeds of distrust and will in all likelihood transform Fedora into a husk of its former self, much like Cannonical did to Ubuntu.
It’s becoming such a drag to see that these corporate entities are turning tail and taking their community projects in the same direction as Microsoft, Google and Apple.
Nano gang, represent.
Perhaps they are so expensive because it’s AM5. Like if AM6 is an overhaul to increase bandwidth and cut costs? That’s a win. We have been blessed with how long they produce these sockets. It’s a stark contrast to Intel.
But yeah, if there is little to no reason to go from AM5 to AM6 m, then I agree.
Musk uses “piss off users”.
It hurt itself in the confusion.
Not a problem :) just answer directly next time. In any case:
It’s not that they became the biggest contributors out of nowhere you know. It’s not like they did it out the love in their heart and because of ideal, morals and ethics. It was seeing the writing on the wall and not wanting to be left behind. Remember both Microsoft and Oracle tried to sue various Linux distributions and the kernel maintainers themselves because they claimed that they or one of their subsidiaries had intellectual property that Linux was using - which was patantly false (pun intended).
In modern times they push to prevent moving away from GPL2 to something like GPL3 because they’ve already gamed the license - especially Oracle, which allows them to contribute back as little as possible, and they couldn’t have done that if they weren’t benefactors and members of the Linux Foundation.
Some would even say Microsoft’s “embrace, expand & extinguish” tactic is still well and alive to this very day. And we’re talking about the company that has a history of hidden licensing fees.
In any case, I guess SuSE is more trustworthy than all of them - again because of historical presedence. But I’m still sceptical!
In regards to Microsoft, IBM and Oracle? I’m cynnical. But it’s deserved cynicism, because of the afformentioned historical presedence.
I’m not saying that people, organizations, companies, corporations, governments, multinationals, etc can’t reform… buuuut… yeah. All of these companies have a horrible history of patent wars and subverting consumers, as well as open source projects. Soooo… yeeeeeaaaah…
haha pre-installed vendor garbage go brrrrr
