I'm not 100% sure what the last digit of pi is, but I've narrowed it down to 10 numbers.

Such an impactful movie. I think the length of the movie really made it. They could have been a little more clear and elaborate at the end about what happened to the people involved. I didn't keep track of the years, and 1957 and other years they mentioned meant nothing to me. I went and read the Wikipedia of King and Earnest, and that made me feel a lot more shock and anger than the end of the movie. Overall a haunting masterpiece. What did you think of it?

Hey, I just moved to a different country and it still wouldn't load. Please.

I couldn't get into it. Felt very stressful to me. Like I had to do something productive every day before night. It's probably more my fault than the game's fault though.

I'd be surprised if anything coming from meta doesn't raise privacy concerns.

I mean, I'm not naive to think valve does anything for anything other than money and self preservation. That doesn't mean I (and the overall linux community as a whole) don't greatly benefit from it. I want to incentivize their actions which benefit me. I love that I have been able to not boot into Windows for close to a decade because of proton, so I buy from them. I hate that GOG for all their drm free policy don't support linux, and that I have to jump through hoops to get their games working on linux (which is again made easier because of valve's proton), so I don't buy from them.

I agree GOG and Valve have different objectives. GOG's objective is to provide drm free games, where as Valve's objective is to make linux a viable gaming platform so they can stay independent of Microsoft. My objective aligns with Valve, so they get my money.

I may be missing or be incorrect on some aspects, but afaik, here’s the situation.

Red Hat has an enterprise Linux (RHEL), which costs money to use. However, they also had centos, which is exactly the same as rhel, but doesn’t include any support. Since it is exactly the same as a high quality enterprise Linux, many people running servers used it, because you know any bugs would be fixed in rhel and would come to centos as a result.

Recently, red hat decided that they don’t want to provide a 1:1 match between rhel and centos, so stopped serving centos, and created something called centos stream, which is somewhat like Opensuse tumbleweed vs leap. Many people didn’t like this, but since the source code for rhel is open source, many new Linux distributions like alma, rocky etc. popped up that basically provided a 1:1 rhel compatible distro using the rhel GitHub.

Now last week, red hat decided that they don’t want to provide free access to the rhel source code either, so alma and rocky would have to pay for access to the rhel code. The community got angry that red hat is taking Linux itself (which is open source) and makes people pay for it. Red had argues that they already contribute heavily to the Linux kernel, and that it’s not sustainable for them to give a free distro of their bread and butter. Oracle, which is widely criticized by the Linux community for being a greedy company, said red hat needs to keep the rhel code open, and Opensuse has announced that they will provide a replacement for the centos distro.

Again, I have not been following this news as closely, so if I’m wrong on anything, please correct me.
