Where did I say anything that implied otherwise?

Illegal street racing, being more of a calculated act, seems marginally worse morally. Of course it goes without saying that's not to defend drunk driving.

I see them around all the time these days. I wouldn't dream of buying a car that says 'build your dreams' on it but that's not on all models.

Maybe neighborhood?

Showing my age, that reminds me of Geocities.

The question specifically was, after an election, whether he would go into a coalition that would lead to proportional representation if it meant enabling Farage to be Prime Minister. That's what he said would be a red line.

I feel like that's getting there, though 'home' doesn't sit right with me somehow; too many other connotations (after all it's still somebody else's server, unless you're self-hosting it, you're still using it on their terms so it's not a 'home' in a typical sense).

Maybe 'gateway' or something like that?

It's good to assume good intent I think. Your response was non sequitur, it felt the most charitable to assume you either innocently responded to the wrong person or had some clarification to offer if not.

I think you responded to the wrong person...

[–] anothermember@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I thought he already was?

Yeah, agreed, as much as I'd love to see Mastodon gain momentum on Bluesky there's nothing in that screenshot alone that suggests "full Elon mode on censorship". More information needed.

No, I have to own my music if I'm going to enjoy it; the thought of a company being able to take away music that I love takes away the enjoyment. I need at least the files and the backups under my control. It's not even about price, I would still buy CDs and rip them if that was the only way.

It's a massive disservice to open source that they keep it on life support, LibreOffice is a great modern office suite but much of the public still recognise the OpenOffice name and are drawn to it instead, shame on Apache.

What’s new?

We’ve promoted our KDE Plasma Desktop offering to “Edition” status. The Fedora KDE team has been hard at work making sure bugs get fixed and everything is polished just so. We’re confident that this can stand along our other amazing flagship offerings.

I know the naming is a bit confusing, with GNOME-powered “Workstation” using a generic label while KDE Plasma Desktop has the tech right in the name. We’ll get that figured out eventually. If you don’t know where to start, don’t panic. Pick one and see how it goes. They’re both excellent desktop environments with great upstream communities, and the same Fedora system underneath it all.

We also have a new alternative desktop choice: COSMIC. This is a modern, written-all-in-Rust desktop environment from our friends over at System 76.

Perhaps most excitingly, we have a new installation interface! The previous UI was designed to manage a lot of before-you-even-start configuration choices. Over the past decade, though, we’ve gone to “get the full system installed with no fuss, then set up what you need from a complete environment”. That made the “hub and spoke” model more confusing than helpful. The new UI is streamlined and sleek, just like the Heart of Gold.

Of course, there are other big changes, as well as the usual updates to thousands of packages. See the Fedora Linux 42 Release Notes for all of the details, and don’t miss the “What’s New?” posts here on Fedora Magazine.
