Not exactly - it was in the source tarbal available for download from the releases page but not the git source tree.

I don't have a source but I think it is safe to say given the large corporations and government institutions that rely on XZ utils. I'm sure Microsoft, Amazon, redhat ect are in talks with the federal government about this

I had this issue and it went away on newer 6.7 releases

You just run the executable

The drm-free marketing that gog does has been successful, but it is just marketing. While It's true that games sold on gog are drm-free, every game sold on gog that I've looked into is also drm-free on steam. The only real benefit is that the gog installers are more convenient for backups than using a steam back up tool.

No, init systems sucked before. It was a bunch of poorly documented and poorly managed shell scripts

You can't really use it with redhat. You can swap the kernel and install the user space tools, but then you won't get support from redhat.

Yeah but if they're smart they will work on this anonymously. You can't force someone to show up to court if their identity is secret

"profiting off their work" this is the equivalent to banning wine.

Ironically a lot of US states have banned reusable vapes but allow disposable ones making the problem worse

[–] Virulent@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

Yes but unless they ban cigarettes first, banning vapes will likely just have a negative effect

Small enough this probably ends them
