The video I posted, which got -32 and counting, but which is from, I would say, a reputable source, claims that the UK was not able to produce evidence that Russia was already using Uranium before giving Uranium to Ukraine. (if I remember correctly) But no one F-fing watches it :P

BTW I totally understand Ukraine using them. I am skeptical about others providing them…

This is not criticizing Ukraine, it is criticizing the US and the UK… Anyway…

OK. I understand this, but you shouldn’t accuse people who are concerned about a war or hope for peace of being pro-Putin… Nothing I said, or the video said, is remotely pro-Putin… You instantly made me your enemy, equating me to people who support the opposite side. When things are most emotional one should be careful not to let their feelings cloud their judgment…

Rude and angry

WTF is this “I am going to say this again so that you understand”? lol You wanna fistfight or something? You wanna measure our degrees? Please be more polite… I didn’t say anything insulting or even extreme, neither did the news clip. You did earlier when you accused me of being pro-Putin for being concerned about fucking Uranium being used in a war which, I assume, is far closer to my home than yours… Also, by your attitude bad scientist.

I said “watch the news clip before commenting” because it has American vets being poisoned in Iraq, but I guess you didn’t watch either…

-13 in half an hour… Maybe people really dislike Amy Goodman? Or that British guy? Or these US veterans?

Odd thing to fixate on what? What Uranium is? An American soldiers getting sick from Uranium in Iraq? Learning things? That means you’re sympathetic to Putin?

Maybe watch the news clip before commenting…

Ancient Greece used marble for monuments, not granite…

I don’t get it… Does this tiny change ruin it for you?

Fastest help is Archwiki, even if you run Ubuntu…

I like GNOME because I don’t want customizability.

OK, I like a bit of customizability, but I’m not a designer and trying to make things look consistent and nice is a pain. I once spent days making an icon theme work in Xfce (the freedesktop standards for naming icons are not followed by anyone… (meaning both Xfce and icon themes))

I use GNOME as is and accept it and everything is swell.

Also I use a laptop and I’m addicted the three-finger swipe window preview…

Ok. I understand what you are saying, and there might be historical reasons for the founders of Rocky to believe they can defend better against a takeover by being a PBC. I don’t know if that’s true, I’m not a lawyer. The thing is that if an organization can legally make a profit, I don’t trust that it does not. I’m not trying to insult Greg Kurtzner, I don’t know him. But I wouldn’t need to trust him if they had made a non-profit.

And sure, Alma exists because of funding from corporate interests, but so does the Linux kernel, and GNOME, and probably a large percentage of free software. That’s the point of copyleft, when companies improve free software it remains free.

Personally I’ve never used RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, or AlmaLinux. I was just curious why Fermilab and CERN chose Alma instead of Rocky, which I had heard about more. I found out and I believe they did the right thing, hence the headline. I have no fucking agenda. (maybe you do)

PS: The whole thing, including this post, assumes that Alma and Rocky have the same goal (which apparently is no longer true), and that non-profits can make no money (which… WTF IKEA).

What the fucking fuck!!!

WTF!

I’m a Debian user. No worries if you get no updates…

Is it that difficult to get the RHEL source code now? I’m sure some people developing Alma have access to RHEL. I mean, sure, they cancel your subscription if you redistribute it, but how do they know if you do? Even if they put things in the source code to identify who got it, I’m sure they can find a way to get past that.

Well… I posted before seeing this. I guess my point is kind of done now, since Rocky and Alma are no longer aiming for the same thing.

Telegram states at their site that: “To this day, we have disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments.”

But according to Spiegel this is false. I don’t know German, I read the article using google translate, correct me if I’m wrong.

Here is a quote from the article: “Contrary to what has been publicly stated so far, the operators of the messenger app Telegram have released user data to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in several cases.”

If this is true, the fact that they are lying is very worrying…

Are you Big Brother?
