I am kinda hoping that with increased revenue, they can afford to get more licences for other content. But I think the video streaming services is too fragmented now for that to be a reality. Unlike audio streaming where it’s a lot more sensible.

That is true, however, some companies would still want weeks/months of testing the transition in non production environments first with detailed write ups and sign offs before any work can be done. The script may be easy, but the bureaucracy in some of these companies is also yet another level of hurt.

Was just about to say the same. Google often like to pick up their ball and go home after releasing something good. Maybe it’s time we stop relying on cloud apps and go back to good ol’ fashioned locally run applications.

I feel sorry for those small, understaffed, enterprises that had to scramble to get off CentOS 8, and may now be in the same situation with Alma/Rocky 8. IBM/Redhat have really fucked over potential customers. What a great advert to ensure no-one buys your product.

If IBM actually cared, they could have still gone down this route. But they could have let CentOS 8 run it's initial, promised, support cycle, then switch exclusively to CentOS stream. And continue to provide the source for the entire run of RHEL 9.

The rate of inflation may be falling, but year on year it's still rising. I mean, I don’t know about you, but the cost of living certainly doesn't feel like it's getting any easier.

What issues do you have with KDE? It's been solid for me for many years. The initial release of KDE 4 was a bit of a shitshow, but they hadn't EOLed 3.5 at that point yet, and once they did, 4.X was solid.

Same for KDE, in fact, I would go as far as saying that most Windows users could find their way around KDE very easily within a matter of minutes.

I tried to come up with a witty reply, but sadly that's not my forte.

Just waiting for Reddit to say the mods aren't doing a good job and replace them, ironically, with fully-sighted mods.

 

My thoughts on Red Hat's recent move to hide its enterprise sourcecode behind a paywall:

We're currently in that weird limbo phase. Too late to use Apollo, too early to use Artemis. It truly is a weird time.

Great seeing there's quick progress on this, though. Thank you!

Is this a lost Lemming?

That's the solution I've ended up going with too. Hoping to get my hands on the iOS Beta of Artemis soon, though.
