My big grudge is their method of getting revenue. I'm not fond of ads, but replacing services ads for theirs means diverting revenue stream from creators to the company behind brave.
And how did they do this? Why, man-in-the-middling root certificates...
It's not only stupid, but evil.
Tbh i hate the mirror universe now... from being a not-so-serious in-joke that came back every now and then, not as much as nudging the timeline, plot or characters into any too serious a direction, to becoming an important part of cannon that I just don't like... mostly because of Discovery and Picard.
It's really just too cheesy. Alternative universes, by all means, but just a mirror universe where there's a bit of a role reversal which stems from can only be described as "a trend in the 70s".
Mirror this, bizarro that, cod sarn it. To call it a gimmick is a bit of an understatement. To call it cannon is a bit embarrassing.
Now excuse me, I've ranted about Star Trek on the interwebz, so now I have to go fulfill the government mandated 3 hours of grass touching.
Starlink was subsidized, so he'd better know what side he's on. I wish there was a clause in the law that forcibly took back subsidies - like aight then, don't want to fight for liberty abroad? Gimme back that money.
Embedded space running window ce still go brrrrrr
Damn. Falsification of documentation means you can't run as much as a McDonald's where I'm from.
To actually ship SteamOS. Logo on the box and everything.
...LICENSE.. FRON .. VALVE! STEAMOS! NOT WINDOWS!
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:
Probably some fodder for the "defund the IRS" club.
