@richardfontana @benny It's incredibly annoying. When I observe it, I have to bite my tongue really hard. It's amazing (in a bad way) how much that's said.

It really sucks because it also makes the "value of subscription" conversation so awkward and difficult.

A few years ago, I put a comment on Reddit where I described the value proposition of RHEL. I think it still mostly holds true today: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/s8cyfi/rhel_workstation_best_option_for_me/htwmb79/

@BrodieOnLinux @cassidy @mattdm I think there's a difference between Fedora's stale bug closure and what people do on GitHub. We auto-close bugs in RHBZ that target Fedora releases that are EOL. We automatically comment on those bugs informing them of why and tell them how to reopen it.

That's a lot kinder than the GitHub stale bots which aggressively close them in 60/90 days and tell you nothing.

@xarvos @purpleidea @lanodan I have friends that work on Azure. I respect them plenty.

The Azure product...? 🤐

@purpleidea Hilariously, pretty much none of the real cloud providers use the phrase at all. Because it's stupid.

🌶️ take: the phrase "cloud native" needs to just die in a fire. It's so meaningless and it's used as a gatekeeping device these days.

I work on tools that make things that people consider "cloud native" or "container native" but apparently that's not enough to be considered either. 💢

And because of that, things are more difficult than they need to be.

Funniest notification on my GNOME laptop...

I wish OpenID Connect (#OIDC) didn't have the OpenID name in it. It doesn't function like #OpenID at all. 😦

@frumble @BrodieOnLinux Most mailing list systems do this, just Linux's never did. And the lore archiver doesn't either. Fedora's mailing lists flat out don't show email addresses anymore for this reason.

@jwildeboer Even more important:

NO, nobody can tell you whether you are doing enough or not. Only YOU decide that.

(Yes, this happened to me a few times... 😦)

@ebassi @carl Fedora Infrastructure has been regularly down for weeks because AI scrapers. I'm so frustrated. 😦

@ariadne It'd be great if you could give a talk at #FlockToFedora or #DevConf_CZ or #DevConf_US at some point as @fedora and @centos were one of the first distributions to adopt it. 😃

@BrodieOnLinux There have been some experiments for a while now. @fedora also has `uutils-coreutils` to allow people to try it as an alternative. I don't see the wiring for making the package fully swappable yet as an equivalent provider of coreutils alongside `coreutils` and `coreutils-single`, though. I'm not sure if anyone has thought of it yet.

Uhh, did #HPE buy #ElReg (The Register) recently? I'm seeing the customary merged dual-logo thing on their website now...

@vwbusguy @tobhe Well, that's just because @mpearson is awesome. He is really committed to Linux support for Lenovo products.

@vwbusguy @tammeow @cas @jorge @sfalken Most of my work was supporting distro tooling to assemble these pieces together to make things work. I have been the maintainer of Fedora's arm image tooling in some form for the past ten years, and I've contributed and worked on this stuff in openSUSE for almost as long.

I'm not surprised that I'm not well-known, I don't exactly make myself *that* known. But I do not appreciate being insulted and being assumed that I don't know what I'm talking about.

@eclipseo @vwbusguy @tammeow @cas @jorge @sfalken Yes, well... I don't know how it happens that @BrodieOnLinux stumbles on me so much. Maybe it's just overlapping circles?

@vwbusguy @tammeow @cas @jorge @sfalken I used to do some of this stuff more 10+ years ago back when I was still excited about ARM as a platform. I'm much more grizzled and worn from the experiences back then. 😑

That's not to say ARM doesn't have potential. But Arm (the company) needs to take more leadership in the platform.

@vwbusguy @tammeow @cas @jorge @sfalken I am less present in the "mobile ARM" space because there's only so much I can do in a day... 😂

@nirbheek I would be somewhat surprised. The gaming GPUs function as the developer pipeline for AI/ML workloads, and have been doing so since the "deep learning" craze that started when they launched CUDA 15 years ago.

It's more likely that they'll price themselves out of the market for more and more people, though.

Today, #Wayland is more colorful than ever. To see whether your Wayland environment is more colorful, you need the latest #Waycheck!
