That is true, however, some companies would still want weeks/months of testing the transition in non production environments first with detailed write ups and sign offs before any work can be done. The script may be easy, but the bureaucracy in some of these companies is also yet another level of hurt.

Technology@beehaw.org•I almost can’t believe it, but Google Tasks is finally kind of good
13·3 years agoWas just about to say the same. Google often like to pick up their ball and go home after releasing something good. Maybe it’s time we stop relying on cloud apps and go back to good ol’ fashioned locally run applications.
I feel sorry for those small, understaffed, enterprises that had to scramble to get off CentOS 8, and may now be in the same situation with Alma/Rocky 8. IBM/Redhat have really fucked over potential customers. What a great advert to ensure no-one buys your product.
If IBM actually cared, they could have still gone down this route. But they could have let CentOS 8 run it’s initial, promised, support cycle, then switch exclusively to CentOS stream. And continue to provide the source for the entire run of RHEL 9.

Politics@kbin.social•Opinion | Unfortunately for Republicans, the economy is improving
1·3 years agoThe rate of inflation may be falling, but year on year it’s still rising. I mean, I don’t know about you, but the cost of living certainly doesn’t feel like it’s getting any easier.

Shower Thoughts@kbin.social•People will put more effort in installing Windows on the Steam Deck than learning how to use Linux
1·3 years agoWhat issues do you have with KDE? It’s been solid for me for many years. The initial release of KDE 4 was a bit of a shitshow, but they hadn’t EOLed 3.5 at that point yet, and once they did, 4.X was solid.

Shower Thoughts@kbin.social•People will put more effort in installing Windows on the Steam Deck than learning how to use Linux
7·3 years agoSame for KDE, in fact, I would go as far as saying that most Windows users could find their way around KDE very easily within a matter of minutes.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•CAPTCHA presented me with an ethical dilemma
1·3 years agoI tried to come up with a witty reply, but sadly that’s not my forte.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub - r/Blind
6·3 years agoJust waiting for Reddit to say the mods aren’t doing a good job and replace them, ironically, with fully-sighted mods.
We’re currently in that weird limbo phase. Too late to use Apollo, too early to use Artemis. It truly is a weird time.
Great seeing there’s quick progress on this, though. Thank you!

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•I'm no climate scientist, but it looks to me like we might have skipped over oops.
5·3 years agoIs this a lost Lemming?

Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•Now that you've used Lemmy and /kbin which do you prefer and why?
5·3 years agoThat’s the solution I’ve ended up going with too. Hoping to get my hands on the iOS Beta of Artemis soon, though.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•Well shit, they're even going after tiny not-so-active subs like mine
2·3 years agoI wonder how long it’ll be before they scrape the bottom of the barrel and send that message to me for closing the r/dfshow sub. The sub is a support community for my DF-SHOW Unix (and Unixlike) terminal file manager. I was planning on unveiling the sub as part of the 0.10 release of the project, however, the API drama kicked off before then.
If they do decide to forcefully reopen the sub by kicking the only moderator, who is the sole developer of the project and currently the only subscriber to the sub, then we’ll know they’re desperate!

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•Hackers demand $4.5 million and API price reversal from Reddit | Engadget
2·3 years agoBlackCat announced it would delete the information if Reddit gives it $4.5 million and reverses API price increases.
Now, unlike Christian Selig asking for $10 million to essentially sell Apollo to Reddit, this actually is a threat. Let’s see what Steve Huffman’s response to this is…

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•I've been reminded of this particular XKCD a lot lately
3·3 years agoHeck, imagine if Reddit didn’t charge so much for their API, I’m sure someone would eventually wrap an integration to drag Reddit kicking and screaming into the Fediverse

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•Anyone else think that spez might be the fall guy for the board?
8·3 years agoHang on, if we (and by we, I mean those that still have Reddit accounts) will be able to vote out mods, why not demand that we have the ability to vote out the board too? They want more democracy? They should extend that to the whole of the platform. Seems reasonable to me.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•Reddit CEO says the mods leading a punishing blackout are too powerful and he will change the site's rules to weaken them
8·3 years agoSo basically, we can now vote out the mods and post what we want on subreddits? And if the new mods don’t like what we post, we vote them out too? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: Reddit “was never designed to support third-party apps”
1·3 years agoI asked him if he felt that Apollo, rif for Reddit, and Sync, which all plan to shut down as a result of the pricing changes, don’t add value to Reddit. “Not as much as they take,” he says. “No way. They need to pay for this."
I don’t think anyone has ever said they want the API to remain free, they just want a fairer price model and/or more time to allow existing year-long contracts to be valid. Why the sudden urgency to push out this stupidly high pricing model? The only time-critical event I can think of is Spez’s precious IPO, and he’s doing a great job at showing potential investors that everything’s under control
/s ( <– are we allowed to use that here?)

Linux@lemmy.ml•Trying out Linux for the first time ever today, pretty excited to make the jump.
1·3 years agoWelcome to the club. Others have given great advice here, but if I was to add one thing, sometimes you’ll find other distribution documentation can help you with the one you’re using. I’d like to think most Arch users (myself included) came to the distro after using their Wiki documentation for years.

Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•What do you all use for password management?
1·3 years ago1Password, it’s cross-compatible across all my devices, and for all sites that support it, a YubiKey hardware 2FA key.
But if you’re not a fan of trusting a 3rd party company, then KeePass is probably still your safest bet.



I am kinda hoping that with increased revenue, they can afford to get more licences for other content. But I think the video streaming services is too fragmented now for that to be a reality. Unlike audio streaming where it’s a lot more sensible.
