I know this isn't related but: Why do I see a completely different set of comments here when I'm logged in, as opposed to when I'm not?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Could be bc of how you set sorting comments in your account vs guest's default.
Sometimes comments won't load for the post, it loads the comments for the last post you visited. Refreshing tends to fix it
I noticed this when I set my language settings in my lemmy profile.
I’ve noticed much better post syncing on 0.18. 0.17.4 still relies websocket for syncing post comments and was constantly behind. I’m not mostly seeing that on instances that haven’t quite upgraded yet.
Though if I was running a larger instance i probably wouldn’t upgrade quite yet until ironing out any kinks in a non-prod.
Who's surprised? IBM is owned 8% by Blackrock so this shouldn't surprise anybody.
Users looking to run an EL-like linux that pre-dates RedHat's derivation and meddling will want to look at PCLinuxOS .
Its pedigree is mageia, so Mandrake and Conectiva.
While it's got a horrifically bad PXE install, and while that means Vagrants and templates are ghetto and thin on the ground, it's otherwise a very fine OS with a wide compatibility range that RH couldn't even match with this AppStream bullshit (ohai, /etc/alternatives).
The chatter around the water cooler at my office is that this may kill Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux (at least as downstream forks of RHEL). It will be very painful for companies that want RedHat support for their production systems but don't want to pay for RHEL licenses for developer test beds.
Are there any other distros that are foss and provide optional enterprise support? Enterprises deploy distros that offer guarantees, warranties, and compliance measures to ensure stability, reliability, and legal compliance. If I'd build a company, I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a distro that I can upgrade to an enterprise version when that's necessary. But... now?
I suppose there's Ubuntu and SLES.
I believe opensuse fits your description.
Fuck, I really hope this doesn't turn the tides for other Red Hat projects.
Not even my Linux distros can escape the enshittiness. WTF man.
It's ultimately because of capital. Capital controls resource allocation, so any project that requires resources will have to align with capital interests

Fuckkkk
Huge L for the community and for my cheap ass company that will likely be migrating away soon 😭
What's to stop the CentOS-like distributions from each purchasing 1 copy of RHEL? Wouldn't that copy still be under GPL, with the software freedoms intact -They can then change and give away anything based on RHEL - they might have to strip out any artwork that is RHEL-specific but they have to do that anyway. Would Red Hat be able to stop them under GPL? Could Red Hat just refuse the sale?
What may this cause to a casual fedora user?
