He's hardly the first rich American to escape justice if he continues to do so. Rich folk in America have literally gotten away with murder. (OJ for one)

Can't we have a new game instead please?

That's the joke, but it's really not true.

You can write unintelligable code in most languages.

Perl's syntax is fine, and you can write beautiful code with it - but it will also let you write fugly code that works.

I think those who say this seriously just don't understand Perl, or even programming generally. (Whilst I like Perl, I'm also proficient in C, Java, JS, Python, PHP, Bash and probably a few more, so I'm not just promoting the only thing I know.)

I think that was the intention, but the reality is put all of the EL ecosphere at risk. I certainly wouldn't be investing in RHEL and partnering with a company that makes such unpredictable actions.

I suspect the reality is that tomorrow will look much like today, however.

Mate, it's been running since RHEL announced the premature termination of Centos Linux 8, back in 2020.

And they've not broken that, RHEL subscribers continue to get access to the source. It's everyone else they've shafted.

Run the cables more neatly.

That's an interesting idea - have a special tier on one or more cloud providers paid for out of that source, or even a flat payment to any server provider based on number of users/activity or something like that?

I don't think the UK will let go of them... Strategically, Scapa Flow is incredibly important and played a huge part in both world wars.

This is a quite clever publicity drive to get some more money, nothing more. Good luck to them - although I recently visited and the roads were in better condition than those in my county in England, and the ferry services (Except Pentland was still down) were excellent. Quality of living looked (admittedly, through the eyes of an outsider in summer) pretty good too, certainly equal to similar rural parts of Cornwall and large areas of Wales)

Just deleted my 11 year account with almost a million karma after overwriting and deleting all my comments and posts. Reddit is dead to me.

About a week since i read or posted on Reddit.

Reading Christian's rebuttal was genuinely shocking to me and I decided I didn't want to continue supporting Reddit's management by being associated with it.

I demodded myself (sole moderator of a 13 year old sub, plus another two smaller ones), deleted all my many thousands of posts and comments and stopped using it.

I'm planning on deleting my 11 year user with a lot of karma on the 1st to join the protest then (I need to revisit to check that's still happening)

I'm not surprised.

Many mods are hugely invested. I was a reddit mod of a long standing sub until Tuesday when I de-modded myself and abandoned it after reading Apollo's creator's rebuttal. I was apalled by Spezz's behaviour and simply could not stand being associated with Reddit's management any longer. I walked away.

But my sub was low traffic, I hadn't had it for that long, I hadn't invested a lot of life into it. Being in that position is large part of your day, your routine. Stopping leaves a void. Many mods have invested years into Reddit and they genuinely care what happens to it. I understand and cannot blame any mod for wanting to stick with it, even through this insanity. Reddit knows that, of course, and even bad mods save them a lot of work. They know they can push them around, bully them into line and most will suck it up and take it.

As for users - the vast majority don't feel ownership, or even particular involvement, and don't want to. They just want to browse stuff and move on with their life. Spectators, and that's fine.

Sorry to be negative, but for myself, I just want to be much less involved. I've always used aggressive adblockers everywhere and probably earn Reddit very little money, but I've generated a lot of content and done much volunteer work for them. I'm not interested in fighting them, only in distancing myself and finding other ways to spend my time. I do find it more than a little sad, however.
