Fuck Yankies

And before you go “it’s to avoid liability”, fucking duh - it doesn’t make it right though.

Screw the privacy policy, bruh, read that TOS:

In other words, you put any content up there, they can resell it to some movie studio AND make an AI copy of you with no consequences… at least according to their ToS.

EU law however… well, time will tell how fast and violently EU lawyers will inject themselves into the urethra of the service provider.

I can recommend utilizing watchtower for image updates and ChainGuard registry for image layering if someone is using Docker. Watchtower should be fairly easy to implement, even across images, and chainguard meets with governmental and military standards. They are also quite lightweight images, since they’ve gone over to a new base distro that cuts down on a lot of cruft.

I’m missing some way to migrate all my notes from Google Keep. Is there a plan in the future for this feature?

It’s not a question of being a geek, but securing your entire supply chain. If you don’t already vet container image layers and cosigning said containers, chances are you’re already in risky rivers all the same.

In essence the rooted mode was never that big of a risk when compared to the actual runtimes. Certain attacks don’t even care about being in a user container if it deals with breaking the kernel itself, even with SELinux and AppArmor taken into account.

Rootless containers aren’t a magic bullet as a result. The only thing that you should concern yourself with is what you’re pushing to prod, how you layer your images and cosigning so that you can source… every mess… to every desk jockey junior…

You…

Do not…

Mess with my infra.

Wrong again, though it is a fairly recent feature and as an answer to Podman and to meet OCI standards.

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s easy to do ^^ it is a job and a half just to design it, for sure. I’m not facetious enough to pretend anything else.

Sure it’s for security… securing my host systems, you goomba. You devs being heve hoed out of my deployment and migration is one of the greatest releases ever, next fo busting a nut. Keep your filthy containers and VMs. Stay outta my host systems.

I’m a computer custodian and I absolutely hate the devs. They are maniacs. Harumph.

Immediately scrolls down to the comment section. I’ve been spoiled by content just automatically loading, but I saw the “Load Lemmy” button. Tres chic.

It would be cool if there was a raised question mark button to the right for the load button, that on mouse over or click shows a tooltip explaining shortly what Lemmy is, as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.

A standard tooltip for that purpose would be kind of nice.

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.

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’s a world story because nature is fighting back. Got hawks dropping snakes on mfs out here. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT!!

So how does Putin’s boot taste like?

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 :)

I pronounce it in a French way, like Le`stat.

Reject modernity. Return to Debian.

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.
