I hope this sack of shit burns to death in his own crappy creation some day.
Whilst I share your sentiment, Elon Musk did not create Tesla Motors.
Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning did. Musk only got involved, and later inserted himself on the board and ultimately took it over, after they sought him out for capital investment. I often wonder what they think about that decision today.
Ok, that's fair, thank you.
But distributed geographical sites? Useful for SME's and above, but aside from a few edge cases where friends might want to share hosting resources, is that a homelab thing?
Aimed at self hosting, but S3-compatible and designed to run at different physical locations?
Surely the venn diagram for that has not such a big overlap?
But what real-world significance does this have?
None - I don't know of anyone that parses release names. Versions, yes, absolutely, but silly version release names?
I came into the comments to see what other reason there was, but it seems it's a non-story.
You can't, or at least, you can't not support evil in some way and exist in anything approaching normal society.
Everyone has their own tolerance for ethical things, which changes with their daily circumstances. Some people literally can't afford to pay the extra that some such choices cost, or don't have the time to search them out, or just don't have the desire or will. And there's several levels of this too - at least their core inner belief, and what they tell the world they do.
That's exactly what propaganda sounds like!
(Not that I'm saying you're wrong)
I don't think I can agree with that, and I'm a pretty agreeable chap.
In the days when people actually cared about the html layout and readability, FP spammed everything hugely, and inserted a lot of terrible cruft. Inventing zillions of new tags for everything, even when the user just wanted to italicise a word. Use a tag? No! We'll invent a whole new style class and embed it in the headers.
A few years ago I rather stupidly agreed to take over hosting of a website for someone that was dying. It had been written with FP and it took me months to de-cruft it using a lot of regexp and scrifting. (Some 8,000 images and around 2000 .html files).
For a server os, do things like consider stability and ease of upgrading between major versions.
Debian does both of those things extremely well.
If you're playing around with changing distros and your data is valuable, I'd try and find somewhere to back it up to, myself.
It's only true if it's enforced, isn't it?
So you need the self control required to add this extension for those sites you don't have the self control not to visit too often?
If it prevents us having another crappy week thanks to the like of Crowdstrike, good.
You're right - they're massively better than spinny bits of plastic in every way. Speed, capacity (1tb tfcard the size of your pinky nail), cost (probably) and longevity. DVD/CD's don't last very well in storage.
