Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don’t want to go with some corporate solution.

I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.

Highlighting that he called out Steve for not asking for comment from LMG for his video.

From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. “Here’s how we screwed up, here’s how we’re fixing it.”

The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with “how I’m going to fix it,” but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.

I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would’ve likely prevented this situation entirely.

Nope. You call them up and go, “This is happening and we’re running a story. Care to comment?” You should even have a list of questions to ask if they agree. They can give you bullshit answers if they want, then you point those out and add that to the story. It doesn’t have to affect the story. Facts are facts, and they can try to explain it away, but can’t. You’re still holding them accountable. You’re just also giving them a chance to apologize or own up to it. And if they dont’ comment, you include that.

Steve and crew are amazing tech journalists. They’re doing great work. But that’s a miss in this whole thing.

I agree with Steve on everything, this was a huge blunder and fail in messaging from Linus. But you are supposed to reach out and ask for comment before running a story. I was a news reporter and have a master’s in public relations.

Edit: Called Linus “Linux”

Freaking good. I wasn’t buying this due to their previous stance. I’ll watch for a while, but I’d feel a lot better about it.

Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.

Unfortunately, no. The roasting process, well, cooks them. You can buy uncooked fresh beans though and plant those.

So a thought here, I would assume that each server is responsible for it’s own federation? Like if kbin.social doesn’t federate KDE and lemmy.world does, KDE posts would only be visible on lemmy.world, but someone on kbin.social looking at lemmy.world posts wouldn’t see KDE ones? Or am I missing something?

The update doesn’t let the site use captchas. They’re waiting for .18.1, which will.

Only game so intense I burst a blood vessel in my eye playing. 10/10, can’t wait for the next sequel.

Thank you for your hard work! I’m a big fan of both systems. What’s the alternative for systems relying on captchas keeping out bots though?
