Great to see that there's an increasing focus on performance.

Any all-you-can-eat policy is going to attract people who abuse it, and storage isn't cheap so this isn't really a surprise. Looking at the limits they're pretty generous for any real use case and people who need more than that should probably just accept that big storage is going to cost money.

I'm always amazed that any foreign government handling sensitive information or dealing with defence would consider using windows. Linux has been competent for all common tasks for a long time now and won't hold any hidden surprises.

That's amazing that they would consider auto-generated responses to be appropriate in something which is supposed to be reference documentation. We are a good way from that type of querying and explanation being reliable.

This isn't what it sounds like. If you go through to the original article then the AI usage is for generative AI which you can add to your meetings (eg generating subtitles). It's an opt-in service and you're notified on the call if someone enables it. They're not just collecting your call data.

I use a cheap USB recharageable rear light from Amazon which have worked great and are nice and bright. For the front light those don't work so well if you need to illuminate the road ahead (rather than just be seen by others). I use a LifeLine pavo 720 lumen light which has been great. I don't think they sell that particular model any more but something like this is very close.

I really enjoyed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It got panned by the critics and didn't do well at the box office, but seems to be being more accepted recently.

Yes, have been seeing this too. Only spotted it when I tried to upvote.

I'm in the same position but I'm trying to post some content to try to induce some.people.to participate. I'm going to give it a few months where it can be my personal link farm and I'll rethink after that if it gains no traction.

Regardless of the merits of their respective cases she was very much a victim of a poor choice of legal representation. The contrast in the degree of preparedness and competency between their legal team couldn't have been clearer. The future careers of way more than Amber and Jonny were determined during that trial.

Sheperd tones. Sounds that appear to either rise or fall forever https://youtu.be/sjCLyi8bdBA

To be fair, the transfer from Cebtos8 to Alma couldn't have been easier. Just ran a script to update the RPM sources and a dnf update and we were done.

Moving to a different distro with different package managers and filesystem layout is a whole other level of hurt.

The best compromise for neutrality and efficiency is to keep gender neutral stalls but also retain an area with urinals which will be much quicker for large numbers of men to pass through then using stalls, and also saves water.

The other consideration would be that the stalls will need to be sufficiently screened that people in them don't feel overlooked or vulnerable (I'm looking at you USA with your weird gappy stall building!).

I don't think this will be viable for the people who really are looking for direct RHEL compatibility, but lots of people like me just use the basic structure of RHEL because we're familiar with the config locations and tooling, and we like the stability over time. If Alma can replicate that aspect then it's still good for me even if they're not bug for bug compatible. Rocky still seem to be going for 100% compatibility and I think that will be harder to maintain over time if RedHat actively fight it.

The legal loophole RedHat found I'm guessing is something that might trigger GPLv4 to stop this behaviour (effectively punishing someone for exercising their GPL rights).

You're right that most use of OSS doesn't involve modification so it doesn't really matter, but packaging changes are still useful.

I know Stallman was the strongest advocate of the GPL but personally I like the principle of reciprocity which it enshrines. For all of their contributions it's important to realise that companies like RedHat are very much building on the work of OSS developers.

Maybe it's different on Lemmy, but signing up to the fediverse via kbin couldn't have been easier. Pretty much the same as signing up for any other web site and the federated servers just show up automatically in the search. Once you're subscribed local and federated communities look pretty much identical.

2 weeks? Something has gone horribly wrong. They either don't have backups or they're corrupt and they're trying data recovery. After this long it seems pretty unlikely they're ever coming back.

This is the bottom line. People will go where the content is. A concerted push to populate the fediverse with good content will give people and incentive to migrate. It will be a gradual process but I'm very confident in building a community here.

I mean honestly, those are probably here already - it's just the scale which will increase. AI is going to mess up a lot of systems where we judge the quality and length of the language to decide how much we trust / believe something.

Getting ready to do something exciting, but being held up by something trivial.

For example, I'm about to go on holiday, but I can't find my car keys. [Spoiler - I never find them and I wake up without having been on holiday ]
