I asked this exact thing somewhere else, and the best answers I got were:

  • there is a somewhat legitimate motivation for fedora to package their own flatpaks in the context of their atomic desktops project.
  • they started doing this before flathub was established, and it was a better idea at that time.

So, as per usual with Linux, there are some obscure and historical reasons this is a thing, but it is useless for the majority of users. Fedora should really not have it configured as the default source for flatpaks out of the box

It's really the keyboard activists. You would be surprised.

I think older sysadmins are the only ones who understand the DNS knowledge required to grok federation.

I would like to think that Democrats can hold him to this politically, but knowing them they will probably say it is their fault.

There is a chance that it is setting off a false positive some kind of heuristic. But it is definitely worth looking into more. Is it setting off windows defender?

Ban them too.

Oh, I hear ya dude. The emperor isn't naked until he is in jail. But more important than anything - it feels bad to loose like this. The whole point of pretending is that you get to feel "strong" and like you are "owning the libs" or whatever. Now, it's like, what's the point? They just want to lose again, and get made fun of.

This time they know, there is no pretending.

Kind of amazing to hear Israel or the US described as a belligerent in this conflict, given the events of October 7th. It's pretty plain that publishing propaganda like this is the aim of Al Jazeera.

Leftists see a legitimate opportunity to call out legitimate human rights abuses and horrible genocide being perpetrated by a right wing movement, but just calling it out isn't enough. Instead, the heinous action of terrorists have to be justified as the fulfillment of a historical materialism narrative that is of itself rooted in defending a colonialist Arab empire that committed it's own fair share of genocide.

Israel-Palestine truly is the place where western politics goes to die. A problem that remains unsolvable because of everyone's refusal to abandon their own ideological biases. So the region just devolves into two groups slaughtering each other. Going to lose some internet points for this take, but leftism won't save us.

You can label it as a trendy new tech term, but it is the age old yes-manism that I have watched eat up tech executives and CEOs that I have worked with.

The real work of software engineering isn't the coding. That is like saying that being a doctor is all about reading health charts. Planning, designing, testing and maintaining software is the hard part, and it is often much more political than it is a technical challenge. I'm not worried about getting replaced by AI. In fact, LLMs ability to generate high volumes of code only makes the skills to understand it to be more in demand.

Should probably just filter them out by default, and then have a sort by funny or something.
