The best thing about their centos strategy changes was the creation of Alma Linux

I do not use it as my default text editor but I use it practically every working day. Plenty of times it’s the only thing I have available to me. Pretty often vi is all I have to work with

Your media sources aren’t really indictive of monoculture. More the opposite and that’s the problem for marketers. It’s hard as shit to reach people because everyone can form their own niche media community. If people still treated IGN and like award shows as their mainstream trustworthy source, we’d still be in the pre-youtube monoculture

2020 plain clothes federal agents kidnapping people to makeshift prisons and the none of that really being addressed should have been an ey opening for people to view their greatest threat being the government they live under. Same with the Snowden leaks and rather than that becoming illegal, much of of progressively becoming legal going forward. Maybe some even made retroactively legal

It was mostly sourced from her 2020 campaign that were fodder for commercials. Then there were stuff like her going off on Tulsi Gabbard about not being a democratic party team player that made her look too centrist and establishment for people further left. Another common fodder for commercials are stuff like how the democratic party only cares about black guys with stuff like that 10 point plan for black men becoming wealthy. That stuff would be open to everyone because it’s just marketing really, but the lack of marketing to non-black people is fodder for marketing the democratic party as not caring for any other minority group along with white people. I don’t remember that commercial people hated that was shaming men to vote Harris in some way. That was good fodder for conservatives to paint the democratic party as anti-men

I and I imagine barely anyone ever heard of Codeberg until the past year like me when I made an account and the website was loading at a snails pace. Github, Gitlab, and Bitbucket are way more established.

Every employer I’ve worked for either uses Github, Gitlab, or Bitbucket in that order of commonality. Then any that self hosts uses Gitlab either free or Ultimate. I imagine anyone writing pipelines would like to stick with what they’re comfortable with. I imagine migrating gitlab ci to foregejo actions can be annoying especially on huge projects unless you’re already using something like Tekton to build out your own CI pipelines. How I see my project managers use Gitlab Ultimate features to link together issues, milestones, commits, merge requests, branches, epics, create filters for the issues boards, etc - I’m impressed.

A lot of co-mingling between different groups within the organization to create some levels of siloed operations. There’s stuff like sharing user databases between Gitlab and other products that aren’t gitlab. API stuff where you make a gitlab account and it propogates to other services and that even includes stuff like group management in gitlab and other services non-gitlab. A bunch of stuff that I barely have to work to achieve like getting sonarqube or other services to easily integrate into Gitlab pipelines and create conditional actions in them and the merge requests comments to notify developers of findings. I have no doubt used very little that’s out there that offers easy integration into Gitlab and Github workflows.

Our pipeline inserts milestone links into our changelogs. We use the Gitlab project wikis and release pages. We use the gitlab package and container registries. Self hosting runners is super easy. There are a lot of 3rd party services that host github and gitlab runners that are really click and they’re ready to go. I don’t have enough experience with Codeberg yet but Gitlabs CI file text editor and the browser embedded VS Code I find very useful.

On Gitlab, these are very useful. I’d want something similar on codeberg rather than dealing with all that myself along with other key/token management

For the most part, I would expect people to go where they’re most familiar and at work they’ll be most familiar with Github and Gitlab and if you want your code to be seen, you’ll go where the bulk of developers are

I keep thinking maybe things will good by 2030 and remember that’s 4 years away. Game devs please target the Steam Deck and Switch 2 as the baseline. Mid range and high end is just too premium for most people. Even entry level enthusiast gaming hardware is too expensive because of memory and storage. Steam Deck and Switch 2 are good low power draw integrated graphics level. That’s not terrible for pricing

Yup. For all the making fun of chinesium (socially acceptable racism often when people talk about chinese products. Very clear when one scoffs at a taiwanese product as being trash because chinese but then walks it back when they learn it’s of taiwanese origin), in my life I’ve seen chinese phones, audio products, and cars go from scoffed at to being well regarded in enthusiast communities.

I saw it in other hobbies of mine. Not long ago people only talked about Japanese and German chef knives - Chinese knives must be trash. Then eventually people started to try out Chinese knives that weren’t just grocery store bargain stuff. Now progressively people are trying knives from Vietnam. Turns out people have been making knives in these countries for thousands of years. Not as bad but maybe worse is when a person I knew told me they were at first surprised to learn movies were made around the world rather than just being in hollywood, english language. Went from American and European made video game peripherals dominating to more and more chinese competitors like 8bitdo, aula, whatever.

In my lifetime, earlier if it said made in South Korea of made in Taiwan, the assumption was poor quality. Hyundai was scoffed at until like the mid 2010s in my experience. I’m told Japanese products were scoffed at as poor quality until like the end of the 70s and then you had major strikes and violence against Asian American people in the rust belt as anti-Japanese sentiment primarily in regards to competition for autoworkers and steel. Now Japanese made is fully regarded as high quality and the desire to compete in quality+value+parts+serviceability doesn’t seem to be of much interest to US or European automakers (that parts availability and serviceability is major)

I imagine it the same as decades back with Korean and Taiwanese made goods, you get you pay for. If you start on the premise that a $200 Chinese product should be as good or better than like a $500 American product, that’s a nonsense expectation to have. People will go from a $1200 iPhone and use a $200 Ulephone and determine that $800 phone from a company with a Chinese sounding name, name of their CEO, are trash unless it turns out that that Chinese sounding name company is headquartered in Taiwan or Singapore

We acting like people in the art community weren’t hyped up over AI until they started generating images. Before chatgpt, it was all about automating coding/it and other jobs that arent considered art. Back then it was all about how everyone could pursue their passions. The only people not excited were all the transportation employees and factory workers that had been told by the general public how excited they were to replace them

This may be for show but that’s more show than they were willing to show 2019-2021. Republicans were throwing out certain to fail bills constantly for at least the last 25 years. It at least throws people a marketing bone and also any that make it out of committee to a floor vote, it puts on record/something to market for/against an elected public servant. Republicans effectively steer public opinion against their own to their advantage for getting stuff passed and who they want into office. Democrats do not.

It’s one way to craft a publicly recognizable party ideology that the democratic party has failed to build up these last few decades. The we’re not republicans, we looks and sound more professional doesn’t work. Something like this is a major improvement. If it makes it to the floor for a vote, which democrats and republicans will vote against or abstain. We should want that for potential future primary challengers and be encouraging these

Media coverage of Linux today is wildly different than the 2010s. It used to be vitriol to entertain the idea of using Linux. It was hoping that complaining about Windows enshittification and Apple pricing while still buying them would produce any results. More and more people will learn that they don’t need the software they grew up with for their hobbies or indie projects. Don’t need o365 to write your novel

I suppose so. I’d rather they spell it out for simple readability. Like I don’t know what Krita means but easy to read. Kate text editor may mean something, I don’t know. Kdenlive is easy to read. Don’t know what the ‘den’ part is supposed to mean

Apparently it’s “KDE Non-Linear Video Editor”. At least kdenlive is easy to read in my opinion

It took me reading the comments here to get that it’s pronounced Wilbur. I don’t get why it needs to be an acronym

I just did the upgrade from 25.10 and am very entertained that it has wobbly windows on by default

Linux is legit pretty easy now comparable to Windows. It’s application preferences and familiarity that keeps people at bay. New to computer user, I don’t think they’d struggle anymore with a gnome or kde linux desktop than with windows. to do the regular stuff people do. Browse the internet. Save their photos/documents in some folders

We’re in a mature software stage for these art software applications. Easier to catch up than create new features that people make essential to their workflow. Today it’s commercial alternatives that have closed the gap well enough. Someday in the future open source stuff will. It’s inevitable

From what I interpret off the Wikipedia page, it had sold single digit millions by COVID and then went viral in China during COVID and that’s how it ended up selling tens of millions more

Didn’t think the Witcher 3 had caught up to infinite releases Skyrim. TW3 will have another big bump when the new expansion hits. It’ll probably get rewnewed interest from modders as well

He was probably always like this to a degree. Thing to keep in mind is that political alignments when it comes to voting blocs aren’t all or nothing. Even if historically Chapelle has voted democratic, that doesn’t mean he cared for everything equally or at all and this applies very much to black people and racial minorities in the US and western European countries and leftist parties as those parties are seen as less racist parties so you really don’t have as much leeway to vote for other issues when your safety and basic rights as a minority group are more of a concern over stuff like economic/immigration/healthcare/sexuality/gender/etc policies. Like Chapelle will dependably care for politics that are pro-black Americans but any other race, I’m skeptical he actually cares and very likely doesn’t care for matters of gender and sexuality. In regards outside of social black american policies, he may very well be firmly conservative. It just wasn’t good for his brand earlier in his career

Similar vein would be like the past decade of popular rappers being way more embracing of the republican party than in the past. Like Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj. Like do Beyonce and Jay-Z really care about the working class or other races. Jay Z was a crack dealer and in the Epstein papers and Beyonce has consistently made use of sweatshop labor and been ruthless with her touring employees. Social progressives in regards to the what they identify with, conservative in regards to their money and possibly other identities.

Racism is still a problem but this isn’t the 70s. It’s not that surprising considering how mainstream homophobia a lot of rap used to be up to the early 2010s. So as multiculturalism continues to become more and more normal, I have expected for a long time for left/right voting splits by race to trend towards 50/50. In the past openly conservative actors/musicians/comedians/entertainers/etc were a lot more common. I’m guessing the civil rights movements going mainstream is what changed that. Then as the civil rights movements that had huge swaths of people could identify with starting passing some good enough threshold, demographic based civil rights becomes more niche and parties have to experiment with messaging and being a conservative entertainer/artist stops being career suicide

I think there should be some healthy skepticism for actors and their actual political alignments. It’s been practically required for public relations for entertainers to be seen as leftist but at the studio executive and I expect at the funding source producer level, there’s always been a high percentage of conservative representation. And publicly rich leftist, I’ve never seen them as eager to fund leftist political causes like publicly rich conservatives. Well known advocate for victims of sexual abuse, Ashton Kutcher, was quick to defend his close friend and serial rapist from that 70s Show. Stories of him and Wilmer Valderrama make them both sound predatory towards young women/girls.

Like their shouldn’t be any genetic reason why white people should be more conservative across the board of polices. The same really for LGBTQ people being progressive which is why I’m never surprised about the existence of conservative people of LGBTQ backgrounds. People always mention how western European politics are so much more leftist than American but to me that only really applies to the social safety net but that doesn’t apply to overall policy in regards to capitalism, immigration, foreign policy/imperialism-racism outside of their own borders. As non-white populations in European countries increase, to me it looks like race politics and racism have become more and more reflective of the US. I have doubts the social safety nets in Europe would have ever been passed if at the times their populations were as racially diverse as the US was in the 50s-80s
