Regulatory capture seems about on par for Google these days. I suppose I’ll be switching back to OnePlus for Android devices; that’ll be about it for Google stuff in my home.

We went from a time where you had to rebuild your fucking kernel to get your graphics card to work and fucking around with Wine to get to a point where you nearly throw your PC out the window until you can get a little app to run to simply running apt install nvidia-driver-xxx and clicking on a button to make a Windows game run in Linux.
I have fond memories of getting World of Warcraft working on Linux back in ~2008 only to realize it had an OpenGL mode that ran better than the DirectX mode I was trying - and failing - to get working.
You aren’t wrong about kernel and driver shenanigans.
I see we can mark off “double down on wartime economy boost” on the recession check list.
Frankly, I make solid six figures and still have a hard time even contemplating buying a new car. With how much value is lost short-term it’s like just burning cash.
I think the best vehicular investment I’ve ever made was a moderately-used Chevy Volt for, like, ~14k. That thing is a tank and still gets some EV / efficiency cred.
At risk of smug, things like this really reinforce the arguments in favor of EVs.
Oh no, petroleum is more expensive… anyway…
The lack of Google/Microsoft enshittification is a huge draw.
However, the open-source developer GloriousEggroll mentions that the developer subscription to RHEL is free. So, access to RHEL source code is still possible but inconvenient?
Just want to to note here the Developer subscription is completely free and still allows access to RHEL and its source code if you want exact package sources. CentOS stream basically serves as a RHEL upstream so I understand this change. It may seem confusing for some people.

Can confirm. You don’t need to go far to find dog-piling groupthink ruining discussion.
Suddenly, I miss the old days of Android. I suppose it’s back to CyanogenMod or whatever it is these days
