I look like it would be soooo satisfying to wrap your hand around it and run it down, brushing off all the little flakes as you go- too bad theres the barbs.
2: about service contracts, they burned a ton of good will when they killed centos like 5 times, if we see a solid 3rd party take up a supported debian release (not Ubuntu, a solid one) then we could have a ballgame.
I’m just glad redhat is shooting themselves in the dick, we need less proprietary dependencies, not more.
RH is the maintainer\developer of great many things. Of course it’d be nice for them to have good competition (like what Canonical was), so that they wouldn’t use that power for evil.
Still them becoming weaker is not a case for optimism.
I’d really like something like Gentoo with official binary packages (and relevant tree), so that building from source would be an option and installing a binary package the usual way. Well, also simpler installation maybe.
I mean, Calculate Linux does that, but I think it’s a Russian small-business oriented distribution, so not exactly my use case.
I think many of their maintained projects are absolutely garbage and are destroying Linux.
Case in point: systemd.
Hate docker too, not the concept, the horrible implementation, maybe ditto for systemd, I could have lived with it if it didn’t look like it was written by msft. For docker we needed something like it, just the way it was hacked in is horrifying, it makes my blood curdle.
Rh is, imho, responsible for most of the worst parts of Linux, even though I will admit they do satisfy a critical need.
I want to see them die and be replaced by a better software firm.
About the function of systemd (or docker, or pulseaudio, or gnome 3, or wayland) - well, I don’t need it, but I understand the usual arguments of its proponents. It does solve problems other init systems don’t. Only it’s such a PITA to use that I’m a Void Linux user.
Especially sad considering that this was entirely different in the Gnome 2 times.
You’re right, except I don’t see businesses moving from RHEL to Debian. Businesses are trying to buy support contracts, which Debian doesn’t have. But RedHat is trying to get vendor lock-in so businesses can’t switch to another RHEL compatible platform, even if support is offered. And for sure, RedHat “support” will be pushing solutions that only work on RHEL, not generic Linux.
Perhaps this is SUSE’s time to shine 😄? I believe SUSE Enterprise Linux has a product that allows for binary compatibility with RHEL and CentOS on SLE.
Everyone will likely have harder time maintaining compatibility without access to RHEL source. Giving customers access to the source under NDA is only slightly better than closed source. Hell, even Microsoft allows some customers to view the source.
I know SUSE Enterprise Linux is popular in the EU, but I’ve quite frankly had enough of corporate sponsored distributions. A few bad quarters and things could get interesting for the community oriented distributions.
I’ve moved back to Debian (with Flatpak) and will use the testing kernel for hardware reasons as soon as I remember where I put my notes on it or get tired and look it up.
Freelancer is an incredible game indeed. How it handled ship to ship combat was simply the best, as it was the first time I actually played “space combat” instead of “aerial dogfight in space”. Ships were plenty of fun and their strengths/weaknesses always made sense.
Ever gave Evochron Legacy a shot? It’s quite the game once you get the hang of it, though that can take a while
Freelancer just got everything right. First and foremost are the controls. Combat is just so much fun because of it. It might not be the most strategic combat system, it might not be the most realistic, but boy is it fun. It's responsive and immersive, the weapons feel great to shoot and sound amazing. The only other game that came close was Aquanox in this regard.
It's not trying to be too much, most of the game is rather simple but to the point. The UI gives you all the information you need but doesn't overload you.
The progression was spot on. You spent enough time in each area to get familiar with it but you moved on before it had a chance to get boring. Same with your ship progression. You got new ships at a decent rate. The mix between free exploration time and furthering the story was right. The spacing between points of interest was just right, big enough that you could feel the vastness of space but not too wide to spend endless time traveling. Especially the difference between traveling amongst established lines and going "offroad" was right.
Freelancer just focused on what is important and delivered on it. There are a few areas it could have been more. Especially faction diplomacy and economy is an area that in a game released today would feel too shallow. But it didn't matter for Freelancer because it delivered where it matters and that was a fun space shooter game.
Also I see the name lemmygrad thrown around, what’s the story with them?
Lemmygrad.ml is an instance for Marxist-Leninists and other Socialists who are broadly pro-AES (Actually Existing Socialism, i.e. the USSR, PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, East Germany, etc.) and anti-West. Criticism of AES is fine; but the assumption is that you’re there because you think AES is better than Actually Existing Capitalism. If you’ve ever heard of podcasts like TrueAnon or The Deprogram (or even Chapo Traphouse, to some extent, though they’re more “ML-sympathetic” than “Outright Marxist-Leninists”), it’ll give you a general idea of what sort of politics they’re about.
Lemmygrad is where Leftist Redditors go when their favorite subs (/r/ChapoTrapHouse, /r/MoreTankieChapo, /r/FULLCOMMUNISM, /r/GenZedong) get banned or quarantined.
I’m not a big Lemmy-head, but I saw this post on lemmygrad so I assume that means your instance is federated with lemmygrad.
Let’s say I’m technically affiliated to the biggest ML party of the country where I come from, am I going to find marxists, or is it more of an American leftist thing?
You’re gonna have a preponderance of users from the imperial core (hard to avoid that on the internet), but a significant number of users are from the imperial periphery.
