Here’s hoping that they don’t.
So in other words, we still don’t know yet.
“Them” being Threads or Kbin?
So, is kbin.social not defederating from Threads then? I’ll be really disappointed if that’s the case.
I’m a Linux user, but I like having control over my own hardware, and I don’t want my next PC to be an underpowered thin client designed only to work with a commercial cloud OS. I hope this doesn’t take off any time soon.
I actually had no idea EVGA made motherboards at all until I saw this. Last thing I bought from them was a power supply many years ago. Whatever the case, it sounds like this has been debunked.
Sounds like it was. From the article:
Update 07:45 UTC: We’ve heard from workers at EVGA Spain “it’s just another day at the office”. So maybe it was only Kingpin/the OC team in TW that has resigned, or the whole story is completely untrue.
Update 16:41 UTC: We just received the following statement from EVGA:
We saw those message and they are rumors. Our Taiwan office is still operating and Kingpin is still with EVGA. EVGA is still doing business and supporting its customers. Thanks for reaching out
I’m surprised the number isn’t higher than that tbh.
As they say, there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
I’m OK with them. There’s definitely such a thing as overusing them, but I think they can be useful for conveying tone.
Agreed. I was hoping Reddit’s in-joke culture wouldn’t make it here. sigh
I like the changes that have been made so far. It’s neat having a positive reputation score for once. 😅
I thought this was going to be a thread debating the merits of the two disc formats, and I’m disappointed that it’s not. :(
I know that particular format war didn’t last very long, but I wonder if there’s anything HD-DVD ended up doing better than Blu-Ray.
As for the actual topic of this thread, I’m not sure if it’s the right analogy. Blu-ray and HD-DVD were incompatible with one another, while Kbin and Lemmy are mostly compatible. I’m not entirely sure what to compare it to, maybe Linux vs. BSD?
Hot peppers. Whether it’s jalapeno, cayenne, habanero, Thai chilis, ghost pepper, or even the milder ones like banana peppers, they’re all great. :D
It turns out it came out in 2016. I was thinking 2018, but I was wrong. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/official-reddit-app/
In a way, it’s been even longer than that, since they bought out Alien Blue in 2014, according to Wikipedia
I felt Reddit’s quality started going downhill around 2021, which is not long after they introduced the official app and started allowing Google logins.
EDIT: Looks like the official app’s been around longer than I thought. :O
What’s the TL;DW version?
Unless you happen to use Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, or Oracle Linux. It doesn’t affect Debian, or Ubuntu, or openSUSE, or Arch, or anybody else.
So, stupid question, but would Fedora be affected at all? I know that’s related to Red Hat, but I’m guessing it’s not affected since it’s not based on RHEL.
It’s not a question of legality really, but more one of an ethical nature. It sort of depends on you, as to whether or not you’re bothered by RedHat doing this or not.
I’d say I’m bothered by it, but there’s not really anything I can do about it. I’m disappointed the GPL doesn’t have stricter rules regarding the distribution of source code though. I feel like it kinda defeats the purpose if sources aren’t freely available to anyone who wants to use them.
Fuck Meta. We need to vehemently oppose their presence in the Fediverse.
So basically, Google realized they fucked up by tightly integrating their browser with their OS, and now they’re doing what they should’ve done in the first place by uncoupling them.
It’d be badass if someone used this opportunity to make a ChromeOS fork based around Firefox.
