Notices like this give our customers a lot of time (literally a decade) to find replacements for anything being deprecated.
Ask how I know.
Humans can clearly do it, so corporations could too. The organism responds to its environment.
So we never do. Nothing will change that other than enfranchising your people, other than upsetting the top-down hierarchy.
> Humans consider their bodies & what might happen with far more realism than corporate naivety
Welp, this is how I learn I am not a human, but a corporation...
No regrets, btw.
But to the main point: corporations are humans, and the entire reason for executive positions is to create a human charged to act as empowered decision maker for the organization. They are the human while the rest of the bureaucracy is essentially a cog. That they, the execs, fail so often is a sign we need to GPT them
I don't think so. I'd say most people disregard to what's happening to them, even when it's apparent that something's wrong. And especially if there seems to be nothing wrong, so that the problem only exists in the form of warning, and forecasts.
What's happening to them famously doesn't incurse upon our dream-selves, is my view. We stick to our dream-selves & our quests, regardless of externals. And sometimes that is foolish. But it also shows I think a pigheadedness that gets it, that picks long wins, that isn't detered.
And before anyone says it, no "rolling release" doesn't mean "unstable".
And these are just the random breakages, not the missing features like fractional scaling and HDR. Obviously these problems don't affect everyone, but they affect me and despite a decade of linux experience, I can't find solutions.
The time line is a little more compressed. I'm somewhat sympathetic. But my heavens, that using the language's official module system is a pain & difficult makes me think we needed to switch harder earlier.
(Also Node simply lacked the courage to try to do what many before them had done, & make cjs/ESM intercompatible: worked great in @std-things/esm but node let themselves get steered into prissily rejecting an obviously fine path for absurd technical minutia).
We gasp & moan the whole time old soggy gross bandaids are being ripped off. We direly need to call shots & make it happen. We need the will.
I obviously dont seem to share the sensitivity, it seems natural to me, and I'm not sure where these feelings & reactions come from. I feel like there should be some substantiation or discussion, something available, if & for and is so unsettling to folks.
*the choice would be Cobol for most folks, but not only cobol isnt dead, it actually changes and deprecates stuff throughout the years - ex. Cobol77 vs cobol85.
Eh... pip+pypi killing support for python2 is kind of a big problem for continuing to use it unless you have zero external dependencies.
I'm glad Red Hat is dropping support entirely: they have been footing the bill for this transition for too long. It's time for Ubuntu, NVIDIA, and others to step up their contributions to/support of Wayland.
"Ship it" in EPEL, sure, but support to Red Hat is a contractual obligation.
