@evan they are not judges. They are political activists.

And we kinda know that. Why else do we need to know their political opinions at their confirmations sessions.

Why else do we refer to the number of conservatives vs dems on that court as if we where talking about MP of political parties in a parliament.

The court and how it works should be rebuilt.

@ebassi

There are cases where hardware enablement or work with a specific framework is still necessary, for a reason or another before it can run an upstream distro out of the box. And in such cases having a spin, can be necessary to do that work before upstreaming.

Linux on mobile for the past 6 years comes to mind. (One Plus 6, Librem 5, pinephone, Volla phone)

But I am not sure if that falls into your category of a "spin".

@zachdecook @alatiera

@ebassi

Since you did not said: "in all cases", can I assume that for you there can be cases in which there are valid reasons for a laptop manufacturer to make a spin of a distro?

If that is the case, what would be valid reasons for that?

@alatiera

@alatiera

ok... Why do you think laptop manufacturers make their own downstream spins of debian/ubuntu/fedora etc?

I’ve updated my article on "Killing a Decentralised Network (Such as the #fediverse)" to include a link to the very important mail exchange between Meta and @kev .

Thanks Kev! You set a precedent where the only and sane way to react is to be open and transparent while they tried to take you in an "off-the-record" meeting.

We have only one weapon and it’s transparency. If we lose that one, we lose everything.

A Comprehensive Analysis of the GPL Issues With the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Business Model 

The worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said you’ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.

We're going to post something that isn't allowed on Twitter: a brief history of the term "cisgender"...

@primalmotion I just hope they were not accidentally DDOSed again by Manjaro.

When #META invites you to secretive talks about the #fediverse and you are told to not share anything about those talks, be it by spoken agreement or an NDA — remember admiral Ackbar. It's a trap.
