Lived in California (SoCal and Bay Area) my entire 42 years.

No, we don't.

There was a short, planned outage in my neighborhood (San Diego suburbs) last summer - we got a few days notice (can't recall if it was a letter or an email). Didn't have one the summer before that. I don't recall any power outages when I lived in the Bay Area.

I'm addition to tldr which someone else suggested, there's also the cheat command. It's pretty easy to add to it's cheat sheets, if you have custom commands, or want to keep a specific example. I've never kept a physical cheat sheet... They're just too inconvenient and my fingers are probably already at the keyboard.

If you're "entirely serious" in the literal sense, just to be super clear the answer to "why can’t the Democrats run an intellectual Canadian?" is that a Canadian is disqualified from the office of the President in the Constitution. Unfortunately, they didn't think to prohibit megalomaniac felons. That's apparently on us. :(

I'd love faster boats (I'd love faster minecarts more). As is tradition for the mob vote though, you don't really know what you're voting for. When I heard "can help your boat travel faster", I think "rad, faster boats", but that could also mean "can help your boat travel faster [when you're nearby penguins and being in the boat doesn't count]" or anything in between.

That last paragraph is all sorts of reasons why she should have retired 15 years ago (at 75!) When voters would have easily voted in her (possibly even hand picked!) protege.

We're now left a mess because someone with an ego didn't retire when they could have. Wait this is starting to sound familiar. Thankfully the consequences aren't likely to be as dire this time.

It is a problem with The Court though. Sure, Sotomayor is classy here, but only because she chose to be. The things coming out about Thomas shouldn't be allowed but no one is functionally capable of doing anything about them, even though we have rules in place for other civil servants - that's the problem with the court.

Nope, Prism doesn't do bedrock.

This is exactly the kind of thing that gets backported to stable LTS distros tho. The kernel Major.Minor is just the base - it doesn't tell the whole story.

Oracle keeps trying to throw shade, but I hope everyone knows that it's just opportunistically poking a competitor in the eye. They don't have an open source leg to stand on.

Relicense or update CDDL to be GPL compatible and then I'll reevaluate.

I've been thinking about getting a Deck and was wondering if anyone has experience running Bedrock Minecraft on it? Specifically with regards to controls, and updates. A few years ago I was playing Bedrock on my linux laptop, and it seemed like there were times where the client would be outdated, keeping me from playing with my kid.

As of right now (and realistically the foreseeable future), nothing changes for Fedora. Fedora is useful to RedHat as a proving ground for features that may someday land in RHEL.

The only thing directly concerning for Fedora is that RedHat is the main corporate sponsor. If RedHat needs to cut costs, they could cut back on paying for infrastructure costs of the Fedora project. They could direct their employees to spend less time around the Fedora project. They could concentrate further on CentOS stream instead, which is probably not an attractive alternative for the typical Fedora user.

As others have said, RHEL is not going closed source. They are not violating the letter of the GPL (though IMO, certainly the spirit of it).

I think this is a crappy move by RedHat/IBM and I won't excuse it, but I will say in their defense they are one of the largest contributors to open source. Everything from the kernel to Gnome and in between. It's a massive step back from the company they were 5 years ago, though.

I worked for a fairly large tech company (not a household name, but well known in it's sector) and this was their policy for core business IP related changes GPL things. Modified GPL sources were neatly packaged up and available but it was a violation of the support contract to share them.

It ultimately doesn't matter (to those customers) if it's a violation of the license - the customers were large businesses who were not going to risk an expensive court case without a clear victory against a company they're investing hundreds of millions of dollars (or more) in, on some moral crusade.

I'm not defending it (and I did not enjoy working for said company), just saying that this model already exists.

Edit: I should also say that I have no idea if that's going to be RedHats policy, but it would make sense if it were.
