Mate & kde

Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.

Export your feed to an opml file, and import it into the new installation. Your read/unread history will be lost, but that’s about it.

Which boomers? All of them?

And I was hoping to get away from all the memes and boomer blaming…

I’m surprised you can’t put /usr on a separate partition. Back in my SunOS days, we used to NFS mount /usr on all our workstations.

If you lived in the country before TV, internet, gaming, or even electricity, you would probably have seen a lot more possums especially when you’re hunting them for tomorrow’s dinner.

What would happen if a Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn employee announced where they work?
They would probably get asked about their jobs.

Used NUCs don’t have built-in UPSs, like used laptops do.

Links? OP is sharing their experience and expressing an opinion. What do you want links for?

Tiny tiny Rss (ttrss). I’ve used it for well over 10 years. New docker install is easy.

Ancient history.

The whole PS/2 & OS/2 fiasco is probably what pushed the once great IBM away from hardware and software production into managed services and consulting which is where they make their money now. They are a contract sales driven company. Quarterly sales targets & bonuses is a good way to motivate the sales team. The problem is that IBM concider everything other than sales an expense to be minimized. They do not invest. They market. “Watson” did not represent AI innovation. It was just a marketing tool.

IBM/Redhat only HAS to provide their source code to paying customers. That is what they are doing. They will also refuse to do business with entities that use the source to release the source or use it in a derivative distro.

This violates the spirit of open-source. IBM benefits from the work of thousands of programmers for free, but refuses to reciprocate. They are de facto close sourcing their code.

You can also bet of the fact that IBM will decrease their development of Redhat (more layoffs) over time as they emphasize short term profits.

Redhat, the organization/company no longer exists. Redhat did those things in the past, and earned a lot of love, respect, and clout. All that is left of that legacy is their contributed code and an IBM product name.

All the good things you said about Redhat should be in past tense. IBM recently laid off tons of Redhat employees, including the Fedora team lead! Redhat is no longer an organization in any real sense. It is only the name of a product now. It’s as meaningful as IBM’s “Watson”. They are only marketing terms.

Don’t expect much investment or technical innovation out of Redhat/IBM going forward. IBM is always going to put its short term (short sighted) self interest ahead of everything else.

The problem is that it will make their experience worse subtly & slowly. It’s a boiled frog scenario.

I’m very impressed. It just needs more 3rd party apps!
