checks out.
Tbf, being a certified hatred engineer sounds pretty badass, if not necessarily admirable π
is centos still around? jumped on ubuntu to escape rpm corruption. don't care to know anymore. shutdown -h now; not in the menu? wtf
it's still "around" but its leadership and mission have changed drastically enough since IBM's purchase of RedHat to represent something completely else from what it once did and how you probably thought of it back when you paid attention to it. i'm sure if you installed it you'd find it all very familiar for a while, but eventually you'd hit something that made you go "hey wait"
replaced an IBM mainframe with a rack of linux DB2 and app servers. they wanted a cert to keep legal happy. a week paid vacation for the cert.
Fun thing.
Back in the day, I left Fedora and RH-based distros in general precisely because of the racist attitude of their communities and official sites towards Latin American users, including attempts at profiling on their community support channels. I guess not much has changed since then.
I'm okay with this, Redhat has always sucked.
What is even meant by "king"? What's the definition?
In this case, they're referring to the old-fashioned autocratic rulers of absolute monarchies, rather than the otherwise relatively harmless figureheads that constitutional monarchies bafflingly insist on still wasting vast resources on in 2026.
Ruler of a region.
hmm yeah i was asking because in the context of these protests, it's important to understand precisely what is actually protested against, just for the sake of making more efficient analysis and decisions.
i think they're talking about a leader snatching up power to make themselves an all-powerful ruler. where the power comes not from a mandate of the masses but from ~~a wet tart throwing a sword at you~~ absolute authority.
hmm ok so it's about the rule of the law that people want upheld.
yup. we would prefer the power of this nation to live amongst the people rather than allow it to coagulate into a single person or position. unfortunately with what amounts to actual monarchists in control of all three branches of government, we are on the backfoot.
Leadership by patriarchal lineage.
Not necessarily. Plenty of kings were elected by the nobility.
Though their existence in the nobility was often through birth, Andorra has an elected prince from the general population.
I was speaking in the context of these protests.
yeah german had that concept by the way. it's interesting to look at history and how stuff was done in earlier times
germany at some time had a king that was elected by the 7 most influential local landlords. they met and elected a king.
UK is hereditary without being patrilineal nowadays
americans doing their sunday walk with edgy signs again?
I wonder how long their government can withstand this.
Good thing Hatred doesn't spell Fedora
Actually the Apple falls not far from the tree. Fedora's racism is why I left RH-based distros.
An anagram of Fedora, however, is Ford EA, two awful companies.
One of which was founded by a fascist, the other mainly existing to perfect enshittification of computer games.
Looks like George Soros is handing out money again π
One of these days lol
Instead of wasting money on children in need he can pay me to do the protests we do for free now
