The deck uses a SOC… putting aside the fact that it directly soldered to the motherboard you can’t replace these components individually. The only possible approach would be an entire motherboard swap.

They’re implementing new chat infrastructure and only replicated 2023/01/01 forward. It’s in the article.

Ultimately this will be up to the instance admins and it’s very likely they’re not thinking that far ahead quite yet.

There’s no moderation tools for identifying stale accounts at this time. In fact, there’s not even a database entry for last login.

Acting skills.

If Joe hasn’t been provided the binaries from RedHat they’re under no obligation to provide the sources.

And the true sources can easily be obtained from the upstream, same place every other distro provider get’s them.

You think you are talking to a very different person than you actually are.

Not making their package sources generally available for download is NOT the same as closed source. The only ones subject to their new licensing agreements are their paying customers. They are very much pushing against the spirit of FOSS licenses but there is no potential for some Joe on the street to get sued for looking at their source code.

I’ve seen them. I understand them. I’m correct.

RSS users tend to be valuable customers as once they’ve subscribed they rarely leave. Users tend to use aggregators that provide high density feeds covering large amounts of content. Once they’ve subscribed you, as a content producer, will likely remain in their field of view for years to come. Even if they only end up interacting with your content a couple times a month it contributes to your monthly user stats and keeps driving those ad revenues with near zero retention costs.

It’s also a very efficient way for making your content visible to search engines and crawlers. If you have an RSS feed it’s pretty much guaranteed that Google, Bing, et. al. are consuming it which can lead to more rapid inclusion of new content in search results.

RedHat is not going closed source. All the code is still open source. Nobody is getting sued for looking at it.

That’s literally my only question. Why is this such a big deal, now?

This was put to bed weeks ago on a Mastodon thread that included all the big MastoAdmims.

We know because it was explained weeks ago:

The nda wasn’t because of some absurd agreement but just the fact they’re launching a new project and we’re getting access to engineers and product team to discuss what the relationship could be. And they went well. https://universeodon.com/@supernovae/110600321409021802

There was no deal signing or any bullshit like that - that’s all fake news.

The nda is because none of this stuff is released and it’s up to meta to share details or admins to join the ongoing calls to learn in advance of launch what is going on.

I don’t know why this blew up like it did.

It’s admins doing due diligence ahead of a major product launch and getting access to engineers on the teams making it happen. https://universeodon.com/@supernovae/110600310078347561

Apparently the admins at Universodon had no problem putting this drama to rest weeks ago:

There's pretty strong speculation, and it's not unreasonable, but there's zero evidence of anything.

Actually, it was my first home before I started my own instance and I still maintain a presence here.

And, seeing as you said you would answer any questions in this thread and then subsequently blew of my legitimate question with a snarky remark, well, I think that's a clear sign of where this thread is going.

And we haven't even gotten to the part where we've actually established that someone did or did not have a conversation never mind whether anyone signed an NDA so my question remains, unaltered and unanswered.

To put it simply, so what?

My Miata shipped without CarPlay. When Mazda added support it later they had to replace one USB port ($12 part) and an hour of labor.

They charged $350. I didn’t hesitate for a second. I haven’t met an OEM interface that didn’t make me want to stab myself in the eye.

My Miata doesn’t have a spare. It comes with a small DC inflator and a can of fix a flat.

I feel you. I’m sitting in the shop right now for a sheet metal screw. Just got the news that they can’t repair so I’m buying a brand new tire to replace a tire that only has 800 miles on it (well, and a sheet metal screw).
