https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/straw-poll-on-your-preferences-about-opt-in-opt-out-for-possible-data-collection/85675/2
This poll is a bit hard to understand but essentially you could vote for multiple options, the highest opt-out option is at 26%, meaning 74% of people oppose this idea.
The original proposal is at 16%, for a jarring 84% disapproval rate.
Despite overwhelming negative feedback, Red Hat is currently drafting a revised proposal.
But what about Red Hat?
This is the link to the proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Telemetry#Privacy-preserving_Telemetry_for_Fedora_Workstation
These parts are all interesting and contradict some people who argue Red Hat has no hand in this issue:
> Name: Michael Catanzaro > Email: <mcatanzaro@redhat.com>
and
> The Red Hat Display Systems Team (which develops the desktop) proposes to enable limited data collection of anonymous Fedora Workstation usage metrics.
and
> It is Fedora Legal's obligation to ensure our data collection complies with legal requirements in the jurisdictions in which Red Hat operates
and
> Occasionally, Red Hat might need to collect specific metrics to justify additional time spent on contributing to Fedora or additional investment in Fedora.
The quotes above were handpicked. There are 7 matches for "Red Hat" in the link above, not counting the email address.
This poll uses @cassidyjames’s suggestions for opt-in/opt-out terminology. I’m keeping Cassidy’s definitions and removing some of the commentary — see the link for details. Please note that no one is suggesting or considering a “buried opt-out” approach here. That option is just here to be complete....

I wonder whose posts are getting removed by mod though. You lot are only capable of throwing insults around and slurping down nazi propaganda.
You said the following
Don’t assume from nothing.
And yet you're assuming we "champion" the death of civilians? Who's obtuse now?
You think swearing in another language will save you from a ban?
EDIT: Thanks moderation for the excellent work curbing the folks incapable of civil discussion.
they’re heartless people who are championing the death of Ukrainians?
Who?
Wake up from your delusions, please.

President refuses to sign Mercosur agreement unless Brussels backs down over foreign competition clause
> Brazil’s president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has ruled out signing a trade deal with the EU unless Brussels eases requirements for Brasília to open up its manufacturing industry to foreign competition.
> Lula, who is in Brussels to try to speed up progress on a trade deal between Brussels and the Mercosur bloc of four South American countries, said he wanted to change rules that would prevent signatories handing government contracts to domestic companies without a competitive process that would be open to foreign firms.
> A proposal circulated between the Brazilian, Argentine, Uruguayan and Paraguayan officials that are working on the deal would, Lula said, allow governments to continue to award contracts to smaller domestic firms, as “every country in the world” does, and support a “sovereign industrial policy”.
> It would be presented in Brussels “within two to three weeks”, Lula said at a press conference, saying he believed the EU officials would bend to the Latin American countries’ demands.

This episode was clearly better than the other two.
Why are you lot so profoundly incapable of civil discussion?
Oh? Already gave up on your previous insinuations? Geez.
Give me 1 article showing Zelensky was making progress on a nazi purge before the war.
I never insulted this man by the way, he's just salty because he couldn't handle facts and logic.
South Africa: “We agree to arrest you if you come.”
They did the opposite though, but whatever fits the narrative I guess.
Hello, nazi puppet, this is your friend from another thread.
Yes, keep blocking all of us who speak the truth, the man literally spit facts in your face and you act like that. Run from the truth.
This man actively defends nazism in his profile.

Kill the nazis, leave Ukraine with its territory. The US is capable of that, condition weapons for ukraine only if azov and other nazis are arrested and trialed internationally.
Can you only read things literally? You'd make a great Islamic terrorist.

nothing ever happened in China in 2019.
The police did its job and arrested some criminals, nice work!

I'm currently unable to install Debian using the latest netinst from https://www.debian.org/distrib/, when selecting any "Install" option, the screen glitches.
Looking up the issue in the internet, it seems Debian is trying to launch the wrong resolution, some users suggest using the "Help" option in the menu to do something related to VGA but there is no such option on my screen.
Another user successfully Debian by actually editing their ISO to include the correct resolution... sorry if that's what it takes to install Debian, then I won't.
I'm not interested in the liveusb version as it is heavily bloated, if anyone knows of a command to trim down the live version to be the same as the netinst, I may try the Live CD.

> The Democratic Republic of the Congo produces nearly three-quarters of the world’s cobalt, an essential component in rechargeable batteries powering laptops, smartphones and electric vehicles. But those who dig up the valuable mineral often work in horrific and dangerous conditions, says Siddharth Kara, an international expert on modern-day slavery and author of Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives. In an in-depth interview, he says the major technology companies that rely on this cobalt from DRC to make their products are turning a blind eye to the human toll and falsely claiming their supply chains are free from abuse, including widespread child labor. “The public health catastrophe on top of the human rights violence on top of the environmental destruction is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the modern context,” says Kara. “The fact that it is linked to companies worth trillions and that our lives depend on this enormous violence has to be dealt with.”
