Excellent progress was made this week towards the goal of full sound theme support in Plasma 6, among other topics–including some important performance work for KWin!
New to federated instances, so forgive the noob question.
open-source.social supports GitHub login, but k-bin does not.
My understanding is that accounts can be accessed with any instance that federates with this instance, so my question is this:
How can one login to k-bin when the account was made on open-source.social using the GitHub flow?
When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy....
Kbin is a different software than Lemmy, although similar.
It has only been around a few months (unlike lemmy that has years in development).
It offers what seems to me a more centralized view of the fediverse, with federation to lemmy servers and mastodon servers as well.
It has access to the microblogging feature, that is like sending a toot from mastodon.
I've found it to be a more familiar experience to Reddit, and honestly, I prefer it over lemmy.
Due to it being so new, it has many missing features lemmy might have, like mobile apps (the API is still not public, and it's being worked on).
HOWEVER, Kbin has a great community backing it up.
I'm currently posting this from the amazing Artemis beta app for Kbin, the first of its kind.
This is due to the incredible job @Hariette has done!!

The new license terms for RHEL are structured to stop subscribers from exercising their rights under the GPL. For now they are still providing source code albeit in a less convenient form, but technically they only need to do this for GPL licenses packages and they could remove code for BSD /MIT / Apache licensed packages....

Open Source community after Red Hat decides to go closed source 😂 #linux#redhat#rhel#opensource By limiting the RHEL public sources to CentOS Stream, it will now be more difficult for community/off-shoot enterprise Linux distributions like Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, etc, to provide 1:1 binary compatible builds against given RHEL releases.
Every company has its detractors, all you can ask yourself is if you agree with the companies actions and if you are proud of your involvement.
Red Hats support of various things isn't alturisim, businesses do things because its in their interest. Red Hat funds things like systemd, gtk, otk, etc.. because it means they can set the technical direction, it reduces development costs, its part of a montisation plan, etc..
This is why its making its changes, it doesn't think CentOS feeds into RHEL licence purchases and the open source builds were to support RHEL clones.
So Red Hat could just stop supporting all those bits but it should seriously hurt Red Hat (if it doesn't there is a question on why Red Hat is doing it).
