Kanye No: Red Hat
Kanye Yes: Red Hat Linux
just remember redhat is also at fault for pulseaudio and systemd xD
Fun thing.
Back in the day, I left Fedora and RH-based distros in general precisely because of the racist attitude of their communities and official sites towards Latin American users, including attempts at profiling on their community support channels. I guess not much has changed since then.
there’s WAY too many nazis in open source. it makes me so mad. the originators of these tools and licenses believed in making tools available for everyone so that we could be the owners. but then these fucking selfish assholes don’t want anything but for themselves. they contribut to Linux, sure, but not out of any desire that Linux grow or be usable for everyone, but just out of their own desire to not pay for something and then an opportunity to weild petty power over someone.
i am so sorry you experienced that. it was not an experience anyone should have to endure.
You can’t spell Methwhore without mother
americans doing their sunday walk with edgy signs again?
I wonder how long their government can withstand this.I’m okay with this, Redhat has always sucked.
Looks like George Soros is handing out money again 😅
One of these days lol
Instead of wasting money on children in need he can pay me to do the protests we do for free now
checks out.
scrutiny intensifies
That signature is crazy, it looks like they have like ten underscores as part of their last name
he was fun to watch, cli on an overhead. after a few years constantly signing things it becomes a time waster writing out each letter. my full signature is 23 letters. no readable letters since army. kids can’t read cursive anymore.
How do you get that? Is there a quizz and do you get the hat?
some professor gave me a windup bauble walking hat.
desk junk pile
favorite wall cartoon around same cubical;
Its a ton of work, like years and years of study and tests.
Yeah, redhat does certifications. Unfortunately you don’t get a hat afaik :(
Tbf, being a certified hatred engineer sounds pretty badass, if not necessarily admirable 😁
is centos still around? jumped on ubuntu to escape rpm corruption. don’t care to know anymore. shutdown -h now; not in the menu? wtf
Centos exists as centos stream, which serves as upstream to RHEL and is downstream from fedora. For something like old centos, theres rocky
it’s still “around” but its leadership and mission have changed drastically enough since IBM’s purchase of RedHat to represent something completely else from what it once did and how you probably thought of it back when you paid attention to it. i’m sure if you installed it you’d find it all very familiar for a while, but eventually you’d hit something that made you go “hey wait”
replaced an IBM mainframe with a rack of linux DB2 and app servers. they wanted a cert to keep legal happy. a week paid vacation for the cert.
What is even meant by “king”? What’s the definition?
Authoritarianism - it doesn’t roll of the tongue though as you can see
In this case, they’re referring to the old-fashioned autocratic rulers of absolute monarchies, rather than the otherwise relatively harmless figureheads that constitutional monarchies bafflingly insist on still wasting vast resources on in 2026.
Ruler of a region.
hmm yeah i was asking because in the context of these protests, it’s important to understand precisely what is actually protested against, just for the sake of making more efficient analysis and decisions.
People think the current us administration is doing a lot of awful things to a lot of people buts it’s worse that they hold themselves above the law to do it, above the limits of their power, above the checks and balances that usually prevent authoritarianism
Among the many bad stereotypes of royalty is the blatant nepotism, self-enrichment, and total disregard for their constituents. Somehow they have no shame in accepting bribes, do not even try to hide it, and no shame using their authority to establish business “deals@ for family and friends
i think they’re talking about a leader snatching up power to make themselves an all-powerful ruler. where the power comes not from a mandate of the masses but from
a wet tart throwing a sword at youabsolute authority.hmm ok so it’s about the rule of the law that people want upheld.
yup. we would prefer the power of this nation to live amongst the people rather than allow it to coagulate into a single person or position. unfortunately with what amounts to actual monarchists in control of all three branches of government, we are on the backfoot.
Leadership by patriarchal lineage.
UK is hereditary without being patrilineal nowadays
Not necessarily. Plenty of kings were elected by the nobility.
yeah german had that concept by the way. it’s interesting to look at history and how stuff was done in earlier times
germany at some time had a king that was elected by the 7 most influential local landlords. they met and elected a king.
Yeah, people often forget that most regents were at least to some extent elected. If the nobility/rich landowners didn’t want a specific regent then they were thrown out and a new one was found. Usually within the same line, though. A regent rarely had absolute power. For example Denmark has had a monarchy for over 1000 years but less than 200 of those were an actual absolute monarchy. Most of the time the regent was put in check by the nobility/landowners and the church etc.
Though their existence in the nobility was often through birth, Andorra has an elected prince from the general population.
I was speaking in the context of these protests.
Good thing Hatred doesn’t spell Fedora
An anagram of Fedora, however, is Ford EA, two awful companies.
One of which was founded by a fascist, the other mainly existing to perfect enshittification of computer games.
Actually the Apple falls not far from the tree. Fedora’s racism is why I left RH-based distros.
The first time I heard of red hat, all I could think of was these
So this is how I find out I’m colorblind. My cat says rstisyitsixiidplxtltuxrpuzrlugkzulxlyxky
Red Hat are well known supporters of Israel right? They literally have part of their business there
Most large tech companies have offices in Israel. Israel positioned itself as a “high-tech nation” to a huge degree, and there’s tons of engineering talent here that companies rightly want to hire and capitalize on.
Whether that makes these companies “supporters” of Israel is up to your interpretation, I guess, but it’s more likely to just be the smart move without any political agenda. Not to mention that they’ve had offices here for years and years, well before Israel’s recent wars and plummeting of their international image. At that point the company already had lots of its workforce here and closing down offices would have been a shot in the leg.
Arguably had to. For too many years Misguided us policies prevented exporting software with useful encryption, arguably blocked it entirely from opensource. Among the consequences was an encryption industry n Israel suitable for opensource
Yes, they work closely with the IDF. There is no doubt that they are supporters of Israel.
Link won’t open for me :/
Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access ipsc.ie
Hmm that’s strange. Vpn perhaps?
Seems like the so called “Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign” blocks all IPs from Israel. Hilarious considering the number of Palestinians whose only way to connect to the internet is through Israeli ISPs… Which is either most of them or a very significant number of them. Solidarity, eh?
Yeah, if I use one it might work, but why would a site block me in the first place? It’s not something a legitimate news site usually does…
I think the suggestion was that it could be blocked if you were using VPN to access it,.not that it would need a VPN.
Yeah, perhaps they did. As it happens, I wasn’t using a VPN, but I do pay for one so I tried it. VPN to Germany -> site loaded. VPN to Israel -> same error. They literally just blocked the whole country using cloudflare… The country where most of the people they claim to have solidarity with live, and where presumably they’d want their message to be heard the most. Unless, maybe, it’s just a propaganda site that doesn’t actually care about Palestinians and instead has some other agenda? Hmmm…

I’m a little hesitant to use that link, wasn’t there recently something about a lot of archive websites using visitors for ddos attacks or something similar?

The archive site recently caught doing ddos attacks was archive.today (which also uses the domains .fo, .is, .li, .md, .ph, and .vn). This is a site run by a pseudonymous individual since 2012. Here is the wikipedia article about them.
The link in my comment above is to archive.org, which is a very reputable organization called The Internet Archive which has been operating since 1996 and definitely would not use its visitors’ browsers for ddos attacks. Here is the wikipedia article about them.
Know the difference :)
Also, btw, while the latter is older, larger, and vastly more credible, the former uses different archiving techniques which enable them to have archives of many things which the latter doesn’t. So, it does continue to also be a useful tool, albeit one of last resort.
That’s good to know, thanks for all the info!
Nice partyhat.
saw this same sign today, thought it was ridiculous! yes you can! where did the red come from?
