And that issue shows the problem with OSS.
Nothing is ever good enough.
Please report this to your distribution
And the reply:
but you could create your own .deb packages for each github release, which can be installed much quicker than downloading and compiling source code and all its dependencies.
This is why OSS maintainers have burn out. Always wanting more and more. Not even the source code is good enough.
The Court ruled that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the detailed, comprehensive record of their movements that CSLI provides, even though they share it with their carriers. This decision limited the "third-party doctrine," which previously suggested no privacy rights in information shared with third parties, and established that the unique nature of cell phone data requires greater protection.
Additionally, the decision was narrow, applying specifically to historical CSLI.
The issue of buying location data from a 3rd party company as part of a service has not been argued.
the FBI has confirmed it was buying access to people’s data collected from data brokers, who source much of their information — including location data — from ordinary consumer phone apps and games
This is completely different from CSLI, you are agreeing to provide your location to these apps and games, as most require it, and, finally, a majority of these EULA state that the data may be shared with 3rd parties.
SCOTUS makes narrow rulings all the time and this is one of them.
The argument that you are expressly providing your location information and agreeing that it can/will be shared with a 3rd party who can then do as they please with your data is not a violation of the 4th amendment and will be excluded from the 3rd party doctrine.
Many people won’t agree with this, and if ever argued in a court, they won’t agree with the ruling when it’s allowed to continue.
Requesting != Buying
When this goes back to the courts you can come back to this comment and still be angry you are wrong.
Carpenter v. United States (2018) was a landmark Supreme Court case that held the government generally needs a warrant to access historical cell-site location information (CSLI) from cell phone carriers, as its acquisition constitutes a Fourth Amendment search
This is very different from buying your data from a company especially when the user consented to their location being tracked.
Too many people in these threads jumping to anti-Trump when the real issue is how quick we are to give up our our privacy to use technology and then quickly turn to shock in anger when it’s used against us.
This is an important question.
The tree outside of house is not 9 feet tall per. I have a 2 story house and it easily towers 10 feet higher than my house.
Additionally, there are several Royal Palms that are close to 50ft and they show as being only 15 feet.
Coincidentally, there’s an article about this exact topic and it happens to mention Senator Wyden.

Pushing their decisions? This is comical.
I guess Debian, SUSE, Canonical, etc get that email from Red Hat just go along with it. We better make the switch, we don’t want our ::checks notes:: competitor made at us.
You don’t know they are a positive force?
This, despite the fact that Rocky, Alma, Oracle Enterprise Linux, etc exist because of the hard work and money spent by Red Hat.
And what are those companies doing to fix this issue you claim Red Hat causes? Nothing. Because they like money, especially when all you have to do is rebuild and put your name on other people’s hard work.
And what exactly is incomprehensible? What exactly is it that they’re doing to the Linux desktop that make it so that people can’t fix their own problems? Isn’t the whole selling point of Rocky and Alma by most integrators is that it’s so easy you don’t need red hat to support it?
I supported Cerner RHEL servers for 6 years and Cerner is a joke.
Everything has to run as root.
All their scripts are Korn shell hacks from the 90s that have been carrier over.
Their god awful Kickstart scripts were written in stone even if you prove that there were better ways.
Cerner controlled the root password.
Cerner123!
They hard coded passwords with ROT13.
No wonder Oracle bought them.
These are the same people who get mad at Red Hat because they think the 5K people who develop, maintain, and test all of the software do it for free
This is one of the most important questions I see when people recommend an MCP server.
If cursor and Claude code can already run an executable why do I need to add an MCP server in front of it?
I feel like a lot of times it’s, “Because AI”
I use my M4 MBA as my personal laptop. Never once felt I was overloading it an it was being throttled.
Claude Code, some light video and photo editing, YouTube, and Netflix.
Not sure what others using an entry level laptop would expect it to do.
Every major project in America has undocumented costs to go along with the miles of red tape.
Along with would imply that they are not red tape.
Honestly do you not think what he is saying isn't true?
Do you think they count the items he mentioned in the total costs?
Every major project in America has undocumented costs to go along with the miles of red tape. Just look at California's High Speed Rail.
Where I live they wanted to extend the expressway and it was overwhelmingly supported. So why, 6 years later hasn't it happened? The environmentalist sued to get a survey done that took 2 years to find.... no impact. The county commissioners got voted out and now the new ones want certain promises. The company that got the original no bid contract is owned by a brother of a former commissioner so that led to law suits. People sued because they don't want the new exits to be too close to their house. Others sued because they felt the exits would targets towards higher end homes and didn't equally consider everyone. Then you have the demands that we use ONLY AMERICAN LABOUR!!! and ONLY AMERICAN MATERIALS!!! A state representative said they would boycott the expansion unless a certain percentage of his constitutions were hired to do the work regardless of their qualifications. Another said they would block it due to road noise and complaints from his constitutions unless compensation was made.
It goes on and on and each one costs money they don't count in the official budget.
SSL - In my 40s, over 20 plus years.
When do I say TLS, when that one annoying guy joins the call that always corrects you. Everyone hates him, and he doesn’t care.
Licenses don’t matter and are rarely challenged in court.
This is the nature of OSS. Out right theft in hopes you will never know until it’s too late.
Very rarely do large corporations contribute their fair share back to any project.
Does this make me money and/or solve a problem quickly? Fork it and it’s mine.
Until we stop giving money to large corporations that profit off the free work of others, then it will never stop.
And it won’t because we like low cost solutions that work.
By 2006 they had their own Oracle Enterprise Linux distribution.
By putting their name on Red Hat’s hard work and reputation.
Working for a cruise line, I got pulled out of line in Genoa, Italy and had my stuff searched for having a multi tool. Which they kept.
So it depends I guess.
Restrict access to paying customers? Restrict access to companies violating an EULA to not redistribute packages?
That fact that people continue to spread this trope is amazing.
I pay for RHEL and I have a developer subscription for personal usage and the SRPMs are right there on their download portal.
Just because CIQ err Rocky has to take extra steps and violate Red Hat’s EULA doesn’t mean they restricted access.
300% and you added no additional compute? Prices went up but not 300% unless you got a major discount and added compute.
This is a VM only version of OCP. No containers or microservices.
So if you haven’t migrated into that state mentioned but want a Hypervisor that isn’t VMware and have enterprise support.
It always amazing me how people play telephone with Red Hat and how bad the quality of life is post IBM.
When they show the service awards they don’t even cover 5 years because they don’t have all day.
If it was so bad then you wouldn’t see engineers with 10, 15, or 20 years experience staying there. They already got their money from the IBM purchase so if it were bad then they would leave.
Oh but they don’t innovate anymore.
Summit is coming. Let’s see what gets announced and then a live demo.
He made an apology video, took ownership for his actions, and said he was getting help in the form of therapy.
He was accused of groping, forcing someone to touch his genitalia, and coercing someone to have sex.
Immature people make mistakes and he owned up to them. Huge move because a lot of people can’t do that.
He is providing insights in a way we do not see from main stream media.
As long as he does not revert then he shouldn’t be shunned for his past misdeeds.
Here is his response that was omitted - https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=928A7ubdO8cg9feZ&embeds_refer...

Unauthorized Use of Subscription Services. Any unauthorized use of the Subscription Services is a material breach of the Agreement.

Correct because it’s free if you agree to the terms. Amazing concept.
It’s like if you let me in your house, let me use your stuff, and then you ask me not to break something and then I break something and you kick me out and I get upset.
It’s in the EULA. They don’t deny it and it’s their right.
The problem is RMS and all the people supporting FOSS and the GPL say Red Hat, and any other company, are well with in their rights to have that clause.
And this causes people, who didn’t pay for RHEL, won’t pay for Rocky or Alma or any other clone to hate a company they never supported.
Holy FUD Batman.
It’s a good thing Open Enterprise Linux is here to save us by forking RHEL and their, god awful, GPL packages!
I’m glad to know that pyeri is swearing off so many packages maintained and contributed by Red Hat. Thanks for your sacrifice pyeri
I think this is on purpose. Podman is suppose to be a stepping stone to OpenShift. They don’t want people using it for anything other than development.
How many workloads that are currently on OpenShift could sit on a RHEL server behind a load balancer and work just as well?
I would wager that the average OpenShift cluster is under 10 nodes, runs COTS software, and a bunch of security and logging apps like Dynatrace and just sits there primarily under utilizes because the COTS vendor is a RH partner and stopped shipping RPMs and said we only support OpenShift moving forward.
But then Red Hat (i.e. Podman's sponsor) started trying to charge more people for software too
Podman is free as is Podman Desktop.
Red Hat didn’t raise its prices.
CentOS Streams and Fedora is still free.
Oh you mean they made it difficult for Rocky to build the SRPMs. Sorry sorry. Hard to keep up with the FUD.
Source would be the way the data is produced so that you can replicate it yourself and make changes.
If I hand you a beer for free that’s freeware. If I hand you the recipe and instructions to brew the beer that is open source.
We muddy the waters too much lately and call “free” to use things “open source”.
