I might actually end up disabling swap in the end. I wanted to update that apparently I “fixed” the problem (not sure if permanently) by turning off the pc, unplugging the PSU, and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Normal reboots weren’t enough. I’ll take it for now.

Re: rant. Yeah, normally none of that goes to the authors of the paper. So you’re not really taking anything away from them.

Theft because they copied your comment.

Haha, same here! I was so proud I knew what the title was referring to before reading the post. Lol

I have plenty of RAM and I run Linux on a VM. Works like a charm. You can even use open source hypervisors like UTM.

I wouldn’t bother running it on bare metal just yet.

Yes. I just don’t know if it’s good to phrase it as “RHEL customers are legally allowed to share the code”, since as soon as they do it they won’t be allowed to be customers anymore lol (assuming Red Hat finds out)

It’s simple: they can redistribute it since it’s GPL, but if they do so, they break their business contract with RedHat, so they’re not customers anymore and can’t see the source code in the future.

GPL doesn’t mean that they must give the code to everyone, only that you have those rights as long as you have the software. So RedHat is not forced to have everyone as a customer, and according to them, distributing the code kicks you out.

They can still re-distribute the current source they have, but will not have access to future source code.

LMAO I just don’t want to encourage people to open the sketchiest .exe they find online without a second thought

You shouldn’t grant an executable admin privileges if you’re not sure what it does.

I’ve just finally caved in and visited lemmygrad for the first time and oh, boy! I’ve heard the sound of my grey matter atrophy

What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.

This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.

I don’t understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?

yes!

lemmy.world in particular doesn’t block any instances

see for comparison:

https://lemmy.world/instances

https://lemmy.ml/instances

https://beehaw.org/instances

No one is saying that the US is good though.

Exactly because of what you said in your last paragraph, some don’t want to use an instance run by people with a certain political agenda.

I despite this “trend” of considering just simple opinions and basic statements as “political”. It’s been watered down and turned into a meaningless tag.
