First, you are making a completely unrelated argument. "Rocky helps sell RHEL": assuming it to be true, that is not a contribution to the open source world. It does not bring new software into the world. It is only a marketing hel

Carl George, a principal SWE at Red Hat, claimed to have found exactly one code contribution from the Rocky Linux or Alma projects back to RHEL - a two-line bugfix in a .spec post script. https://old.reddit.com/r/redhat

I'm trusting Carl George's words here: https://old.reddit.com/r/redhat/comments/14jq5i7/red_hats_co... Those Rocky Linux repos are either not code (website, wiki, etc.), and a few are tools for

If you have RHEL in production, you are already allowed to install it on test servers without restrictions. Or so I'm told.

Regardless of the reasons, Rocky Linux does not contribute a single line of useful code to the world. Red Hat has benefited from previous contributors, but then added a ton of open source work of their own. RH are open source contributors;

N-gate summed it up very well: "if a guy in Cupertino can put a U2 album on your phone, he can just as easily put CSAM on it". If you are using a device managed by Apple/Google/Microsoft, E2E is merely a roadbump - it me

At a quick glance: - Leta is much faster than Startpagw - Startpage offers a lot more of Google's features, eg date range filter, image search, and so on I would guess that both differences are due to Startpage not doing any caching.

It's a bit more nuanced. Let's keep it simple and say you produce 3 data sets when browsing and clicking on results: search queries, DNS queries, HTTPS queries. If it takes a correlation of the 3 datasets to identify you, then it

Strange question. Why on Earth would a privacy service want to "interact well" with Google location tracking in the first place? It's a bit like asking if you can install Cortana on Trisquel GNU/Linux.
