Developers don't necessarily make the best fundraisers, auditors, accountants, human resource managers, legal advisors, or any of a hundred other disciplines involved in running a large organisation.
This particular person seems to have extensive experience managing large non-profits and membership organisations; which is exactly what the GNOME Foundation is. There's no expectation that everyone on the board of directors will know how to cut code...
It kinda is. Most of the package maintainers are Red Hat or IBM employees. Red Hat has special roles in the governance structure which no other organisation has. Red Hat provides pretty much all the technical infrastructure (web hosting, repositories, build servers etc.) to the project gratis. Red Hat even own the trademarks to the Fedora name and logo.
The community governance structure is real and good, but it's denying reality to pretend that Fedora isn't tightly bound to Red Hat.
I'm not sure it was quite 20 years (I'm sure there were 32 bit Atoms still on the market into the late 2000s), but I agree with the sentiment. You can get a really pretty decent refurbished PC for under £50, and a lot of offices will literally give away old computers to good causes for free when they upgrade their estate. There's really basically no reason that any organisation with literally any resources at all should still be on 32 bit computing.
Alpine is also arguably not "GNU/Linux", as it doesn't use GNU Core Utils or glibc. But I don't know anyone who would suggest that Alpine isn't "proper Linux".
New version of GNOME, new tiling window tool, replacement for Ubuntu Software app, new firmware management app. A fair amount, really. Nothing groundbreaking, but then what were you expecting?
It seems like the obvious thing to do would be to get a metred EV charging point and bill the tenant separately. There are even grant schemes to help pay for the cost.
It's not like EVs are going away. Every house with a driveway is likely to have one eventually. She might as well get ahead of the curve.
I thought they meant 6pm-2am for a second there and was going to riot.
Counterpoint to all this anyway: my office has airconditioning, and my house doesn't. If I've got to be somewhere during the heat of midday, I might aswell be there. Commuting back home at 2pm in the worst of the heat sounds like a nightmare.
Back when I was last on VM, I remember they had the adult site blacklisting switched on by default. I can't imagine why Lemmy would be falling foul of that, but maybe that's the issue?
