My goodness that's awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?

Destiny did this. I have no idea why people love that game, btw. The guns and the environment are well designed, and the story (if you call it that) teases of science fiction. But that's all the positives about it.

The secrets are so bad that you need to follow a Youtube guide and would probably never discover them in a lifetime. The raids are a huge chore of completely arbitrary series of mechanics that are never explained. You grind for weapons and they get nerfed. You keep doing the same missions again and again and again. Your trophies that you firmed for in year can just go away without notice. The damned thing does not even run on Linux. The list of ways it is unfun goes on.

This is a case where the class is led by a moron. That person should be reported.

Piracy for the students was justified because they had no other option. But outside of this school, if I were you and I needed the software again, I'd definitely use Octave without question. (Or Python if I'm willing to learn something new.)

The point is, if you have free and open source alternatives, use them. You'll be better off.

What else is an outcome of that? If it is indeed due to the educational policies, then there has to be other notable and recognizable outcomes. If there's nothing else notable, then I think the credit is where it is due, to Linus.

I think you're going by the English meaning of "conservative". The word is badly chosen, because I don't think they really are traditionalists. Probably "capitalist" would be a better fit. And paradoxically there are many things I find the "progressives" want to do which are in fact regressive. It's a bit confusing and I think names should be changed to something else if it were up to me. Words have power, and words like "progressive" and "woke" have positive connotations while "conservative" has negative connotation which is sad; they don't even apply anymore to the groups or ideas they represent.

How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.

Just like YouTube is a left wing cesspool with cancel culture?

Agree with this. I think we need to treat whether we empathize with the person separately from how corporates treat people.

Looks as though silencing individuals without records is becoming a trend, with the other notable news of Amazon banning someone for something they didn't do that I saw just a few days after I saw this news.

Honestly the news seems to be about RHEL. Fedora should still be good.

I've been using Arch, and very happy with it. Very low maintenance except updating once every one or two weeks.

I just installed Fedora. I think it's good for a laptop which you plan to seldom open or update. I'll continue using it.

I'll stay far from Ubuntu, because I do not like snap - and it reminds me of Windows on how I have to tinker to avoid something the OS wants to push on me.

If you were considering Ubuntu then you'd like Debian - and wouldn't go wrong with it.

The push towards app from mobile browser was insane. In the end they even made NSFW marked posts impossible to view in web browser. WTF.

Can the number of votes differ by instances? By how much - a lot?

Edit: I guess it will if there's a lag for syncing. Any other reasons?
