I don't think this will be viable for the people who really are looking for direct RHEL compatibility, but lots of people like me just use the basic structure of RHEL because we're familiar with the config locations and tooling, and we like the stability over time. If Alma can replicate that aspect then it's still good for me even if they're not bug for bug compatible. Rocky still seem to be going for 100% compatibility and I think that will be harder to maintain over time if RedHat actively fight it.

That's true in theory, but less.so in practice. In our area there are no dentists accepting adult NHS patients so unless you're registered already then your only option is to go private. This seems to be increasingly common and is making dentistry private by the back door.
Indeed - the test seemed to be largely determined by our susceptibility to headline grabbing language rather than by being able to judge the content of the article. People are always going to try to have enticing headlines, but you can only really judge the quality of the information by reading the article itself.
The legal loophole RedHat found I'm guessing is something that might trigger GPLv4 to stop this behaviour (effectively punishing someone for exercising their GPL rights).
You're right that most use of OSS doesn't involve modification so it doesn't really matter, but packaging changes are still useful.
I know Stallman was the strongest advocate of the GPL but personally I like the principle of reciprocity which it enshrines. For all of their contributions it's important to realise that companies like RedHat are very much building on the work of OSS developers.
It's a bit more than that unfortunately. Changes in conf file location, selinux Vs apparmour etc. There are a lot of little things which can catch you out if you're building something relatively complex.
I'm still in two minds about this. We have a lot of infrastructure build on RHEL rebuilds and there's no way we're buying enough RHEL licenses to cover it.
I can look at Devian based alternatives but switching is going to be a time consuming process. If Alma and Rocky get this figured out then I'm still tempted to stick where I am. These distributions have been very stable, and I don't need support for them. Even if RedHat don't like this I'm fine with doing it on the basis that they have an obligation to release the source (at least for GPL code).
Maybe it's different on Lemmy, but signing up to the fediverse via kbin couldn't have been easier. Pretty much the same as signing up for any other web site and the federated servers just show up automatically in the search. Once you're subscribed local and federated communities look pretty much identical.
2 weeks? Something has gone horribly wrong. They either don't have backups or they're corrupt and they're trying data recovery. After this long it seems pretty unlikely they're ever coming back.
This is the bottom line. People will go where the content is. A concerted push to populate the fediverse with good content will give people and incentive to migrate. It will be a gradual process but I'm very confident in building a community here.
I mean honestly, those are probably here already - it's just the scale which will increase. AI is going to mess up a lot of systems where we judge the quality and length of the language to decide how much we trust / believe something.
Yeah, conceptually I like it. A while back I used to run my systems on Fedora which was great in that I always had the latest of everything, but doing updates every 6 months got tedious. Stream seems like a good compromise on the way to that.
The best compromise for neutrality and efficiency is to keep gender neutral stalls but also retain an area with urinals which will be much quicker for large numbers of men to pass through then using stalls, and also saves water.
The other consideration would be that the stalls will need to be sufficiently screened that people in them don't feel overlooked or vulnerable (I'm looking at you USA with your weird gappy stall building!).
