Right, it's the superset of sed,awk,bash, but perhaps only a few diehards will refuse to adopt it.

RHEL controls fedora and centos security response is the story that's been told over the years.

With a huge exception of an ass-backwards security fix model. If there is an embargoed CVE, it gets fixed in rhel first, embargo is lifted/updated packages available for RHEL, but the work to port that change to CentOS stream is done after the embargo is lifted. SuSE, Debian, and Ubuntu both participate in security fix embargoes so there is zero delay from publishing to fixes available. CentOS (and Oracle) typically did have a minimal delay due to needing to wait for the redhat srpm's to be released and rebuilt for their systems, but at least the work is consumable immediately. CentOS stream may be slightly easier to release fixes for instead of the longer delays seen in fedora, but Redhat committing to ensuring Stream fixes are ready at the time of embargo lift would go a long way to easing a lot of our minds.

I stand corrected

They just wanted to be in the eastern district of Texas to make sure they have technically illiterate judges making bad law on software patents.

Since when is ID required to vote? States pass it, interested parties contest it in court, saying it is akin to a poll tax, and it gets struck down.

Except Xbox had to build a proprietary connector for external ssd instead of using usb

Firefox (perceived) performance has been horrible for seemingly a decade now. Every time i click the orange button to cross-check something against chrome I regret it. Firefox used to have an edge as they were more efficient if you had more tabs open but that hasn't been the case for a long time now.

MS got burned by Intel on the original x86 Xbox because Intel prefers to keep the price point high and sell you faster hardware for the same price. If Intel had simply sold MS the same CPU for lower and lower prices, the XBox 360 may well have stayed x86. MS got burned because Intel wasn't on board with the typical console pricing evolution. So they switched to a CPU provider that was more comfortable knowing that the price would evolve downwards over the years.

I don't recall any overly stupid "duplicate site" rules. "Geographic regions" were the worst for this sort of thing. You'd have people with sedona-arizona-hotels.com, sedona-arizona-trips.com, sedona-arizona-camping.com and they were all handwritten HTML with multicolor comic sans, and yeah, we didn't want to list all three because we're fricking human beings who can recognize your crappy family of websites. No doubt some well meaning people tried to codify that.

But yeah, that's way outdated. It's not like anyone's eyeballs are scrolling through the category any longer. Google basically killed that idea with shockingly good search results.

The last time I logged in, apparently about 10 years ago, I was horrified at the enormous backlog of everything. And I could look at everything, because I was a metaeditor.

The last time there may have been any balance was when it was easy to become an editor and the site hadn't become a peer to Yahoo. Most editors weren't malicious, might add their own site if that's all they wanted to do, and buzz off. Of course they'd be keyword loaded crap, but there might be someone else around to fix it.

Those halcyon days may have ended somewhere in 1999. Once it became clear that sites needed to be in there for good SEO rankings, there was absolutely zero volunteer will or throughput to deal with that tsunami. And given that there was basically a dialtone on the other end when it came to submitting sites, people simply applied to become editors and *that* backlog became ridiculous and unresponsive too. Made worse by the fact that the solution to malicious editors getting in was for the meta-volunteers to insist amongst themselves that they spend tens of minutes on editor applications that we at one point reviewed in tens of seconds.

It's been interesting in the ensuing years to see sites like Wikipedia, Stackoverflow, Reddit, and Quora deal with reputation and hierarchies, and anointing people with too much time on their hands.

I have to tell you, being blessed with superpowers is a lot more fun before they start bogging things down in process. I'm pretty sure I was the first root editor of "Business" and had what they called catmv permissions, so at that point I could just create and move categories based on 1-2 opinions. Having all the tools available to fix the problems that you identify, and simply being able to do it... nice. A few years later and not being able to do it without a forum thread... less nice.
