Rocky Linux have said that they can rebuild using publicly available sources in UBI containers and cloud images.

Though reading the article, I don't know if SUSE is simply rebuilding or forking. In any case, it's cool to see SUSE committed to open source principles.

Oh nice. The Splinter in the Sky sounds interesting. Comes out tomorrow.

In this debut sci-fi tale, “a young tea expert is taken as a political prisoner and recruited to spy on government officials—a role that may empower her to win back her nation’s independence.”

This doesn't help for Gmail. I moved to a different part of the country and I have a spam email account that isn't connected to a phone or second email. Even with the right password, it wouldn't let me log in because I was trying to sign in from a different location and no secondary way to authenticate.

Luckily it was a spam email so it was just annoying to recreate some accounts I used for that email, but yeah ve warned.

I think Tumblr's brand just got ruined. They were known for their nsfw material and now they don't know what else to do with their lack of users.

All posts must contain some form of proof showing that you are actually who you claim to be by connecting you to your lemmy username

This is going to be difficult to get folks to do a a casual AMA.

"I can read this Perl scrip"t should translate to "I'm lying".

I've used pyenv for years and it's an awesome tool. Keeps python binaries separate and it has a virtualenv plugin. I've gotten others to use it as well.

It works great for library owners who need to run tox/nox on multiple versions of python in test suites. Love it.

pyenv also has this with the .python-version file which will switch versions. And with the plugin, you can use virtualenvs in pyenv so that a .python-version can be simply: my-cool-project-virtualenv and switching to that directory automatically switches to it.

Yes but karma makes it worse. It incentivizes getting getting upvotes because you don't want to "ruin" your karma. Expressing controversial opinions, even if they don't generate downvotes, are discouraged with karma. Even OP says he gets a dopamine hit by seeing the karma number go up.

Nice. Can we expand the idea to things that make programming nice, fun, or overall enjoyable?

First post of good code will be a picture of an empty file.

I don't like karma. It incentivizes short, meme-y posts since those are things that get gets a lot of karma.
