You don't have opposable thumbs, you ain't pulling shit

This clearly goes against the intention of the GPL.

That I agree with. Maybe this will cause the FSF to create a 4th version.

I use Fedora, but I'm very uneasy with the fact that they are married to Red Hat. If things go south for Fedora, I hope a community driven fork can survive if not Fedora itself.

It's free software, so you should be free to do with the code whatever you want as long as you don't restrict the freedom of others.

Serious concern and asshole move? Yes. Gpl violation? Not sure. You could argue you are not restricted to do whatever you want with the code you receive with a subscription. But if you share the code, they don't want you as a customer anymore and won't give you new code. I don't know if the GPL allows that.

Certainly in retrospect. Back then they defended the decision by saying they wanted to shift their resources to centos stream, and that would be fair enough. But now it's clear that wasn't their motivation at all. They wanted to kill the free RHEL fork in the hope to attract more customers, as a lot of people already suspected.

Youtube most likely never made any money. Hosting these vast amounts of video is expensive. Google stopped telling us how much they money youtube made them lose. You would think they would start bragging when they could make a profit off of it.

That being said, this still sucks of course.

If he wants he can probably even have subs unprivated that he doesn't moderate. But that would just increase the backlash.

Crazy, that should be an uncontroversial statement. It's sad that people on the left have radicalized too and are sometimes going too far, giving the right a larger attack surface. Of course regular algorithm driven social media stimulate radicalization because rage drives up engagement.

What caused the Digg exodus?

 

I've been on Lemmy for 10 days now and I really enjoy it. The federation is really cool, but compared to Reddit it does have a downside: fragmentation of communities.

I think it would be really cool to be able to combine the feeds of the community Random_topic@example_instance_1 with Random_topic@example_instance_2 etc.

This could work well for reading, but I realize that posting is more difficult. So when posting you should be able to choose on what instance you want to post to the Random_topic 'community group'.

What do you think?
