macOS is just a great OS. It’s polished, and thoughtfully designed with care, as are many of the apps available for it. I like that it integrates very well with my other Apple devices. Because of its BSD underpinnings, a lot of Linux-y things work very well with it. I use the Terminal (actually Warp, but same idea) on a daily basis for different things. A lot of the tools that I know and use on my Linux servers work here as well. I can write automation for it, and apps like Raycast and Alfred make building workflows and scripts, and tying those together, really easy. It’s much more secure than Windows. I also don’t have to worry about stupid shit like literal fucking advertising being built into the OS, as you have with Windows.

As for Rocky Linux, well, I’m a co-founder of it (and the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation) and helped build it, so my biases there are obvious.

macOS for personal use, Rocky Linux or Ubuntu for my servers

Join the club. Everyone is struggling, not just the artists.

What is it lately with companies and shooting themselves in the foot? Have all the CEOs gotten together and mutually decided that this was the year they were going to piss off their communities?

Red Hat are burning through a lot of the good will they’ve made over the years with this.

Here’s the statement the Rocky Linux folks put out:

Good luck, brothers. I wish you well.

Basically, the second order to me really boils down to this: AI generated content isn’t really a ‘brand’. Good writing shops tend to build a following with their writers and expectations with their editors. The writing, investigative, and editorial bent of a house is essentially what makes a shop. See The Economist and The New Yorker as examples. In other places, a lot of niche shops are selling personality as much as product with youtube, podcasts, and others.

Yep. This is why I’ve been a paying subscriber to Ars Technica for over a decade. You’re exactly correct. Ditto with NPR.

Right. That’s why searching for anything on the internet SUCKS these days. The results are all just filler bullshit.

This is fucking gross. There’s no one who thinks people will read the mass shit they pump out.

My guess is that it takes some time to work its way through the federation. I had to manually add it just now to the Fediverse Observe, and got this message when I did so:

Data successfully inserted! Your server will be checked and live on the list in a few hours!

Update: working now, and is listed there: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/go&domain=thegarden.land

Should be fixed now, can you try again please and let me know if it doesn’t work?

This should be fixed now. I can find it on other instances, though I’m not sure how kbin works. Can you please try again?

This should be fixed, can you give it a try now please?

This is fixed, sorry for the trouble. Can you try now please?
