As a #Fedora lore nerd I am heartbroken that this "Return of @jspaleta" blockbuster announcement does not link to the prequel from 14 years ago featuring a stand-in cast member: https://web.archive.org/web/20110808233406/http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/04/01/i-am-jef-spaleta/
(still up at https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2011/04/01/i-am-jef-spaleta/ but that version does not have properly working images)
The Arianna ebook reader Flatpak from Flathub keeps crashing on launch. I replaced with the Fedora Flatpak, which is running fine.
A few months ago I wrote my own (basic) #Python virtualenv wrapper. Yesterday a co-worker introduced me to `uv` [1]. Today there was a #Fedora article about the project [2]. Clearly the universe is trying to tell me something.

today in #fedora qa:
* attended the workstation wg meeting for a catch-up, think it went well
* looked into an update stuck in gating, sent a PR to fix its test suite for the sbin merge: https://src.fedoraproject.org/tests/httpd/pull-request/23
* tweaked my 'check package signatures' #openqa test PR a few times and tested it, eventually merged it: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pull-request/370
* told @nirik and @Conan_Kudo it had found unsigned packages in several images, they swore a bit and fixed it
* travel planning for #devconf in june
As a reminder, here is the not-so-snappy April fool prank of 2 years ago:
Somebody remembered the April fool news from 2 years ago about Canonical ditching Snap? Here we have a nice new one:
Y'all won't believe what the bootc team is cooking. Gonna be a great year!!
@kylegospo awesome to see the bootc team embrace systemd sysext!!
I am sadly moving one of my machines from #Fedora to #Debian.
I prefer Fedora in many ways but this machine runs several instances of #Klipper in containers.
The containers themselves are based on Debian and... wow... there is so much pain when it comes to dealing with USB in containers and it compounds when the distro host and the base images approach things differently.
A mess of systemd units and fragile fixes in the container and host just aren't worth it.
Return of the Beefy Miracle!
Now you can accept the truth and beauty of the glorious happy hot-dog into your life and computing-box - on #Ubuntu and #RHEL, @centos, @almalinux and other #EnterpriseLinux distributions!
#Debian package coming soon: https://mentors.debian.net/package/plymouth-theme-hot-dog/
@major did a great write-up here for those who were not around for the #Fedora 17 fun

This allows logrotate to execute log files.
What are legit reasons to allow this? And why those can not be solved just by using other normal context for executables?

The big difference with Open Mandriva Linux is you do not need to use the terminal to enable non-free firmware, drivers, or media codecs.
You simply need to open the app called, "Software Repository Selector" and check the boxes for the repositories you wish to enable. Once done, you can open either the store app or dnf dragon, for example, and install whatever you need.
It is point and click, easy.
#OpenMandriva #Mandriva #Linux #Fedora #Windows
From a simple user point of view, if you have used Fedora, you will be familiar with Open Mandriva Linux.
Both use RPM packages and Dnf package manager. You can even download and install 3rd party RPM packages, for example, I installed iVpn directly from their website.
Their "Cooker" build is comparable to Fedora's "rawhide". Their "Rome" build is comparable "Fedora Release". Lastly, "Rock" is comparable to centOS.

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.
Thanks all!
