And many with extreme fascination for boobs.

And plenty who don’t know you can GNU without Linux.

Two thoughts on StackSocial. Even if they legitimately are an MS partner that bar is so low as to be irrelevant. I know, I'm an MS Partner. All it takes is an email address and two (maybe three) checkboxes to become a Partner at the lowest levels. Additionally, the product isn't actually being sold by SS. the vendor is "SmartTrainingLab" which appears to only exist in the context of selling cheap keys via Stack Social and it's clone, other clone, e-commerce sites.

As for selling Windows at a loss... They've always been split-brained on that front. They only just stopped giving away free upgrades to Windows 10/11 in the past few weeks despite that offer having expired over seven years ago. The real Windows Desktop OS money has historically been from the fees that OEMs pay for licensing. That's why the retail price is so high; it establishes the baseline from which OEM discounts get negotiated. The $199 actually is pretty reasonable considering inflation, etc. Windows 3.1 was $149, Windows 95 was $209 and Windows NT 4.0, which current Windows is descended from, was $319. I wouldn't even pretend to know what they're going to do on that front but a subscription service seems highly possible, though I see it most likely being bundled as part of the Microsoft 365 products; you get the upgrades for "free" with one of the (product formerly known as) Office 365 consumer subscriptions OR you get ad-laden upgrades for free OR you pay $99 upgrade pricing.

Battlestar Galactica, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits; just to name a few successful TV reboots (and some, accompanying films) of the same name.

The original Star Trek and SNW have more in common, quality and continuity than any two seasons of ST:Discovery.

It's worthy of the name, in my opinion.

Looks fine here, here and here so it's likely not a problem on your side but problems with specific instances. Making a new change to your profile should forward the changes to other instances that may have missed the previous changes. That may be enough to jiggle the handle on the ones that don't have the current information.

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 bistro provider get’s them.

Well said.

I don't and you don't. The hard right-winger who thinks they're "anonymously" upvoting pro-LGBTQ+ posts, might.

Yes. C for community, M for magazine.

One-click would definitely lower the bar to entry but I have to admit the concept makes me uncomfortable. While it could eliminate those problems, it creates the issue of thousands of new server administrators who really don't understand the platform that they are now responsible for. Infrastructure and security IS hard because it's not just about getting the right syntax, it's understanding the concepts so that not only does it work, it works safely and reliably.

I've seen quite a bit of bad troubleshooting going on as newcomers have sought to set up their instances. It doesn't help that the current docker-compose in the Lemmy repository is outdated and doesn't work out of the box. More than a few "this worked for me" solutions that I've seen may have gotten things working, but broke fundamental security principles that may or may not come back to bite the administrators later.
