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.

That's what they do. Find effective government and then sabotage it so that they can shape it according to their agenda.

The IRS is a great example of this. Make taxing slow, painful and expensive, and then turn around to complain about taxes so you can give hefty tax rebates to the rich and prevent money from going to infrastructure and instead funnel it to the same rich people via subsidies.

It's so fantastic to see democratic mechanism get gamed for the power games of a petty few.

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.

High rate of male suicide, high adoption of men in far right ideology. Why do you think that is? Because every other male than you is a weak specimen and you're such a renaissance man?

Also your statement was anecdotal and dismissive, so we'll scratch the renaissance part.
