How does Red Hat make money if Linux is free?
>>107708290You have to pay for RHEL, sure you can just use red hat 1:1 clones, but the support on enterprise solutions is unmatched. You can call them 24hrs a day. RHEL usage is 90% for the fortune 500 companies.>linux won
>>107708290Would you trust all of your company's software on the hands of a bunch of NEET devs or on the hands of normal people who are paid and treats it like a job and not a passion project?
>>107708328This is a mildly bait-y way to say it but it's basically this. Red Hat's position is basically repackage FOSS software for enterprise use and then provide support for said software. It's cheaper for them, because they can adapt FOSS projects for their RHEL distro, while also being cheaper for the client. We, the bottomfeeders, benefit off of all of this because MOST of Red Hat's shit gets pushed down(up?)stream to the wider Linux consumer market.
>>107708290Red Hat is the reason Linux became a huge thing in the enterprise space. To answer shortly: They sell stable environments so companies focus on whatever they're hosting instead of installing, configuring and maintaining it.They offer subscriptions. Even though RHEL source code was freely available, you can install RHEL but may not obtain updates unless you add a third party repo, flatpaks, etc.Red Hat offers more products, meant for administration, container orchestration, virtualization and other stuff, most of it based on open source projects (they funded or contributed to). They've been very insistent on atomic images (bootc), LLMs (instructlab, granite and lightspeed) and quantum (post-quantum encryption thanks to IBM).They fund and contribute to a lot of open source projects. And usually let Fedora be the testing grounds of whatever open source and US law compliant project is projected to become the next big thing, once Fedora has an stable environment for such solution, that Fedora version is taken and used to make a new CentOS Stream image, that image will be worked on to make the next RHEL release.Fedora > CentOS Stream > RHELBut once RHEL is launched, the packages will stay in the same version to avoid environment changes, what Red Hat does is to follow updates (specially security ones) and make backports, releasing them as a new subversion of the package, Like openssh-6.8-1048 or whatever, instead of releasing openssh-6.10.2, because that would mess things up. Same goes for the kernel. Then they do it for 10 years before finally dropping it.This provides well tested software, but yes, Red Hat profits a ton more of what contributes back (even if it is a lot of money and code). Canonical has a similar relationship with Debian, as SUSE with openSUSE. Valve is also the Red Hat of gaming, funding and making the whole Linux ecosystem dependant while having a "fair" profit. They're the same, does not matter if they look good

>>107705869>Capitalism is about permanent exponential growth.Capitalism is about free markets. You've never lived under capitalism so you wouldn't know what it's like. The west hasn't had capitalism since we ended bretton woods or initiated the new deal, take your pick.Your problem is with planned markets, corporatism and late stage democracy/massive corruption/the jews enabling these things. The huuuuge billion dollar monopolistic corporations are explicitly made to exist through laws and regulation because the jews find it easier to favor their own as one gigantic monolith of power and the forced permanent economic growth is a symptom of that.
>>107707439free markets deterministically transform into planned markets because real people don't follow ideological horseshit and just do whatever benefits them in the moment'capitalism' and 'communism' are useless descriptors, corporatism is natural selection

>>107706407I do not believe that was the point he was making. It seems you, however, are particularly touchy.
Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?
>>107708009I get it now, you want me to load ALL the files like search webm and then sort them. But I have 13k files right now. I have a reaction image hoarding problem. I delete most of them by search filtering every now and then. But after switching to linux, I can't seem to find an efficient way just like on windows.
>>107708024>>107708081This sounds familiar to me. For a long time I managed images in Windows using explorer, by doing recursive searches under a directory. For example if I had folders by artist I would recursive search '*' and sort by time to see the newest stuff.When I looked into kde it seemed like nautilus didn't have this much support for this workflow, but explorer was always slow as shit anyway. I imported the whole directory into hydrus and it was infinitely easier to work with and snappy as fuck. It looks like a lot at first but I recommend looking into it. When you import you can keep your directory structure as tags and by design it'll automatically drop duplicates without you having to do anything.https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus

>>107621970> Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made.KDE 1 was better than any competing Windows, even Windows XP. It already had customizations and virtual desktops. It's not Linux fault Microsoft used monopolistic practices that would get them fucked by FTC today and conspired against Linux with OEMs (Halloween documents)

what is the point of making 2 captchas with the dice where the solution is different based on the text, when any bot/machine will read the text and know which model to load to get the solution, and it only serves to trick humans?
>>107708179I suspect the point is that it can easily be changed at any point, making any such bot break.
>>107708231a bot immediately knows what it's supposed to do by reading the instructions and loading the appropriate logic.for a bot it's the exact same if the "highest" and the "exact X" captchas used two different sets of objects instead of dices and relying on reading the instructions to know which version of the puzzle you're doing.as a human when I see the dice I don't know which of the versions of the puzzle I'm doing until I read the text.the design is anti-user and does nothing to help against bots.

Very few come from any educational background other than electrical engineering. Even at the most diverse community conferences related to electronics these days, it's overwhelmingly white male, at least in the West. It's dramatically dramatically worse than even software, which is already pretty bad. Why does this enormous diversity of clearly interested and motivated people show up at some random person's workshop at Congress and not in the wider industry? Yeah, I think you know the answer.

im kinda a dummy and bumbling my way through things and got a question grok/chat gtp weren't able to help me with.im using santodans random lora folder selector to randomize artsyle + character loras. the problem is that i have a lot of loras with multiple characters/outfits and it pulls all of the trigger words for them creating a mess.i thought editing those out would be simple enough but i can't get it to work even with groks help, whenever i edit the ss_tag_frequency on lora info editor the random lora selector just outputs a blank.im kinda lost and grok/chatgtp just give me garbage and google searching give me result only concerning with training.
>>107708217So you're trying to use a tool that randomly picks art style and character loras, Problem is that it's grabbing all the trigger words from multi character loras.And the problem's problem is that you can't edit the lora's metadata to fix this because that breaks the random selector tool.Sorry anon, I don't use those kinds of things, but I rewrote it with better clarity so other anons can help you out.

i always hear retards crying about muh resolution but all movies are 1080p on blu ray and every retard knows that bit rate is all that matters
>>107706543It's not enough for a monitor, looks like blurry shit. But if you're using it as a TV, it's fine.
>>107706543It's true that high bit rate 1080p is plenty for video. I have a 4K 32" monitor and 1080p BR rips look great. Good 4K video is better obviously but I'll take good 1080p over bitstarved 4K.>all movies are 1080p on blu rayThis isn't really true. 4K Blu-Rays have been around for nearly 10 years now.>why should not i buy 27 inch 1080p Because at typical monitor viewing distances and assuming typical eyesight, you'll see chunky pixels and text will look like shit.If you're using it as a small budget TV from a further distance then whatever.

>>107708277I have spent couple of days working on my setup, translating my keyboard shortcuts to cwm. I sort of like it. I use a script to center windows with xdotool.It is also somewhat picky with games. Mouse focus does not work properly. Workaround is to use gamescope but then some other things will get broken (not cwm issue but in general) - when using gamescope --force-grab-cursor, mouse cursor speed isn't 1:1 and it feels like there is acceleration or something. It can be compensated by using -s 0.9 or something but it still isn't exactly the same as raw mouse input would be... Gamescope will coincidentally break 'setxkbmap', I like to switch caps lock and esc but Gamescope forces them back. Fix for this is to use 'xremap' but this is a daemon and needs root permissions. Gamescope is actually pretty shitty all things considered.
>>107705094Grub has some advantages over other bootloaders. The main one being that it can read btrfs and ext4 partitions so that you dont have to keep your kernels on the fat32 efi partition
>>107708358I have no idea about gamescope as I very rarely play games, but do you have setxkbmap in your .xinitrc/.xsession? Or in xorg.conf.d?Try make a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.confSection "InputClass" Identifier "default-keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "your language"EndSection
what is the easiest way to package an app so it doesn't ever break when i update things.and on another note, can someone explain how this scorched earth way of developing has become accepted in the linux space?
