This clearly goes against the intention of the GPL.
That I agree with. Maybe this will cause the FSF to create a 4th version.

I use Fedora, but I'm very uneasy with the fact that they are married to Red Hat. If things go south for Fedora, I hope a community driven fork can survive if not Fedora itself.

It's free software, so you should be free to do with the code whatever you want as long as you don't restrict the freedom of others.

Serious concern and asshole move? Yes. Gpl violation? Not sure. You could argue you are not restricted to do whatever you want with the code you receive with a subscription. But if you share the code, they don't want you as a customer anymore and won't give you new code. I don't know if the GPL allows that.

Certainly in retrospect. Back then they defended the decision by saying they wanted to shift their resources to centos stream, and that would be fair enough. But now it's clear that wasn't their motivation at all. They wanted to kill the free RHEL fork in the hope to attract more customers, as a lot of people already suspected.

I agree. Amazon is infamous for that strategy as well. They either buy competitors or make a loss until the competitor is bankrupt.

Updated Powerdelete forks: also taken from Reddit (archive)
(2 Additional forks if you have issues with the main and rate limits or errors.)
You created your content. You didn’t get paid. Why would you leave it here for Reddit to make money? Take your content with you.

The one from Pkolyvas seems to be the most up to date. It is a fork of the one from Leeola.
I'll share some info I stumbled upon that others here might find helpful. Since I don't need geolocation metadata on my notes, I disabled that in the settings. That only has an effect on new notes though. On the desktop app there is an encircled 'i' in the top right corner of every note. There you can few and edit the metadata. But it is quite inconvenient to have to do that for every note individually and it took me a while to find a solution. [This forum post](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/how-to-remove-all-geolocation-info/8369) from a team member (Tessus) offers a solution: >there’s no UI button to do that, but I’ll post a SQL statement that will wipe out that data. >Ok, depending on where your profile is, this is the statement that will remove the GPS info: >we assume that you use the default location: ``` sqlite3 ~/.config/joplin-desktop/database.sqlite "update notes set latitude = 0, longitude = 0, altitude = 0" ```

Yeah that's what I thought. That means the server load and cost must be significantly higher than what 20GB implies. It still would probably not come close to YouTube though, but it does make the donation model seem more realistic.

The other thing to consider is that the technology just doesn’t exist for there to be a viable ‘federated’ YouTube.
Well, Peertube exists. But I agree it is very hard to get close to the amount of videos YouTube hosts without it becoming too expensive. But that is even true for companies like Google, which is why they are pushing these changes. It seems like people need to accept that a video platform must either show ads, make you subscribe, or receive substantial donations.
I almost can't believe Wikipedia is only 20GB btw. Does that include all the pictures on there?

Youtube most likely never made any money. Hosting these vast amounts of video is expensive. Google stopped telling us how much they money youtube made them lose. You would think they would start bragging when they could make a profit off of it.
That being said, this still sucks of course.

I first considered an Ubuntu based distro for my Framework laptop since that's what I was most familiar with, but I don't like what Canonical is doing and don't want to make myself rely on that company.
Next I considered Debian, but although it is an excellent choice for servers, it is not the best for a desktop OS imo. There are Debian derivatives that make it more suitable for desktops though, like MX Linux.
However I opted to try another distro family entirely and went with Fedora KDE. I'm very happy with it. It has had few issues for me, none of them serious. I was most worried about software compatibility since Ubuntu is probably the best supported distro but Fedora still is supported by most programs. If not with an rpm or via dnf, then there is probably a flatpak or app image. Upgrading to a new version of Fedora has also been flawless and simple the 2 times I had to do it so far.

And since when is rolling release Arch more stable than Debian? Wouldn't Debian make more sense for a server?

If he wants he can probably even have subs unprivated that he doesn't moderate. But that would just increase the backlash.

That's fine of course, Gnome has advantages of its own. Just pointing out that KDE does not have to be Windows-like

Crazy, that should be an uncontroversial statement. It's sad that people on the left have radicalized too and are sometimes going too far, giving the right a larger attack surface. Of course regular algorithm driven social media stimulate radicalization because rage drives up engagement.

Even just using plasma I stead of gnome feels a little weird now, like it’s too windows-y lol
Out of the box it is, but KDE is very customizable, much more than Windows. You can make it behave like almost any other desktop environment.
I've been on Lemmy for 10 days now and I really enjoy it. The federation is really cool, but compared to Reddit it does have a downside: fragmentation of communities. I think it would be really cool to be able to combine the feeds of the community Random_topic@example_instance_1 with Random_topic@example_instance_2 etc. This could work well for reading, but I realize that posting is more difficult. So when posting you should be able to choose on what instance you want to post to the Random_topic 'community group'. What do you think?
Hi, for some reason I can't reach Lemmy world communities through lemmy.ml even though the instances seem to be connected. Lemmy.ml/c/vegan@lemmy.world gives me a 404 error while Lemmy.ml/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world works fine. Any idea why this might be?
