I wish it the same success Tesla had in Europe this year.

If you don’t add the power I have no context that you’re talking about power rangers

That doesn't feel like the case for RHEL anymore. See my post here: https://lemmy.ca/post/47329016/17562982

You took a joking jab at red hat and suse a bit too seriously. But let me address at least the red hat portion of it.

IBM changed took away the Debian equivalent of RedHat: CentOS. They now have CentOS stream which is not what CentOS was -- the free and open RHEL byte for byte compatible operating system. Arguably at the time, yes, I would agree with you -- they were just selling enterprise services. But that's not what it is anymore. They took away the stability of CentOS and had everyone migrate to RHEL or away. There were talks at the time that they were violating the linux license at the time. However, it was argued that they weren't. Because they provide the source code for enterprise license customers, they did not violate the license. HOWEVER, they were cancelling enterprise licenses of people who were taking the source code to make RockyLinux and all the the other distros that came up to replace what CentOS was.

While yes, you have the freedom to do with the source code as you'd like when you have access to it, IBM is violating the spirit of what that means by throwing access to it behind an enterprise license.

I would be very interested in what you think about LMMS. It reminded me somewhat of FL Studio, but like I said I wasn’t really good at it so there may be features you’re lacking.

I have to say, the audio situation used to be a bit of a mess but it has gotten somewhat better.

It sounds like they are inspecting the oil pan for signs of metal shavings indicative of possible metal loss from engine bearings.

It should be progressive because if you shave off enough metal, the bearing will completely fail.

If there are no metal shavings in your oil, then the issue should not progress because it is not present.

You should replace the bearings if faulty and there is no other damage. Otherwise, you should replace the engine.

Interestingly, the recall report states that the ECM of the 3L engine will be reprogrammed but the 4L will only have the oil replaced if they are found to be good engines?

Are they decreasing performance on 3L engines to match the lower than expected performance of the bad bearings so the engine doesn’t fail?

Does LMMS still exist? There were a few other tools I used back in the day (wasn’t good at it so don’t ask for tips!)

Is it even Linux if you’re not running four terminal emulators via tmux in single user mode on a 1280x960 screen?

Actual question: is this just bagged bales of hay? If so, why do they bag them?

This depends entirely on your prescribed system of ethics.

Duty-based ethical systems would say yes, because you have a duty to speak out.

Point utilitarianism would say no, because the good outweighs the bad for that scenario.

The other utilitarianism of which I can’t remember the umbrella term would say yes, because it’s better for everyone if people speak out.

My understanding of Kant is that the unethical act is being performed by the government and that it is not morally wrong to keep a low profile.

TLDR: If you’re asking, the answer is no. If you’re being pedantic, the answer is “it depends”

You can also just gentoo and compile from source instead of remembering which distro uses which package lol

 

I really don't like the design of the progress pride flag, and I couldn't really put my finger on it until I saw this: https://nava.org/good-flag-bad-flag

For reference, here is the flag I'm referencing as "bad flag":

And here is the original:

So, the original has too many colors, but it's the colors of the rainbow. In order. It's recognizable from really far away, and it's dead simple to draw.

With the Intersex flag, that's 14 colors. There are three shades of "purple". The circle won't be visible from far away. The chevrons are too thin to be very recognizable from far away.

It's not like there aren't good pride flags. Like there are AMAZING ones:

Edit:

In case you don't know what these are: https://flagsforgood.com/collections/pride-flags

Does Lemmy.ca/fedecan.ca also own pixelfed.ca?

If so, can someone answer if it's possible to have a private account that does NOT federate your data?

 

Is there a friendly alternative to VMWare/Virtualbox? I would move back to Virtualbox, but it's now owned by oracle

 

I am not affiliated, just like music from both sides
