Can I take a moment to rage?
Nothing would make me happier than to see Rees-Mogg unemployed by the morning. I care about politics, I care about the proper administration of the country I live in, and I care about the traditions and showbusiness of Parliament, because they all show the proper respect for the people they're working for.
To see Rees-Mogg lounging, FUCKING LOUNGING, on the benches that people of good intent of every party - yes, even them - have sat on, to take the /1
@dansup you could try to delay that message by doing the first local network request after asking the user frist explaining what it is for.
To give more context to users, so they are not confused.
AFAIK this is not a permission like the others where you can insert a reason string in the plist.
Many bigger projects, especially stuff in the circles near the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, have distros of open projects.
Just want to run OpenStack and Kubernetes, or want to contribute changes? Get it from upstream, work with upstream.
Want an SLA, an SBOM, support etc? Buy a distro from a commercial vendor. Upstream will get fixes in the pace that works for upstream and distros provide whatever their clients want to pay for.
To call it a product distro is appropriate, because community OS distros like Debian and Fedora do this too, they don't just package things, they also track bugs and act as a first-level support line, they backport fixes, etc, and when appropriate it all bubbles up to upstream, which can stay focused on the latest version and the upstream product vision. And of course commercial distros like RHEL do this too, or perhaps even more so, and are definitely willing to sell the service of doing so.
Lifehack:
Instead of wondering if something is normal, ask if it's harmful.
Dressing up as an anthropomorphic animal character isn't normal, but it makes a lot of people smile.
Being exceptionally talented isn't normal, but it sure offers a way to enrich your life as well as the people you care for.
To hell with normal. To hell with being afraid of being called weird. Furries figured this out decades ago. Many anime fans and gamers, too.
Yet, I hear people ask things like, "Is it normal to feel the way I do?"
I dunno.
Does it make your life harder? Then you might want to do something about it. Does it cause harm to others? Definitely do something to correct it.
But to cry when you watch movies? Or to want to cuddle so much that you lose any interest in actually having sex? Or to hate the world we inherited so much that it hurts, and so you channel it into helping others suffer a little less?
Who gives a shit about normal. That's human.
