GitLab just doesn’t compare in my view:

To begin with, you have three different major versions to work with:

• Self-Hosted open source
• SAAS open source
• Enterprise SAAS

Each of which have different features available and limitations, but all sharing the same documentation- A recipe for confusion if ever I saw one. Some of what’s documented only applies to you the enterprise SAAS as used by GitLab themselves and not available to customers.

Whilst theoretically, it should be possible to have a gitlab pipeline equivalent to GitHub actions, invariably these seem to metastasize In production to use includes making them tens or hundreds of thousands of lines long. Yes, I’m speaking from production experience across multiple organisations. Things that you would think were obvious and straightforward, especially coming from GitHub actions, seen difficult or impossible, example:

I wanted to set up a GitHub action for a little Golang app: on push to any branch run tests and make a release build available, retaining artefacts for a week. On merging to main, make a release build available with artefacts retained indefinitely. Took me a couple of hours when I’d never done this before but all more or less as one would expect. I tried to do the equivalent in gitlab free SAAS and I gave up after a day and a half- testing and building was okay but it seems that you’re expected to use a third party artefact store. Yes, you could make the case that this is outside of remit, although given that the major competitor or alternative supports this, that seems a strange position. In any case though, you would expect it to be clearly documented, it isn’t or at least wasn’t 6 months ago.

It’s very mass market, not particularly well informed general news source and this is a specialist community where this is relevant to its specialist field

Thanks for explaining. I guess this would be comparable to e.g. Blu-ray key revocation. I suppose it’s possible but I’m not sure how likely it is considering the potential downsides, e.g. legal liability, for anyone doing this, compared to I’m not sure what upsides where there’s no profit to be found and all costs sunk

Oh no, I understood the watermarking concern. This sort of thing is famous with with Oscar screeners and electronic books. I was asking about OP’s suggestion that the font might be effectively withdrawn by a third party

Please excuse my lack of knowledge here. Am I under to understand from your post that software that you have purchased from another supplier will check from files that you have bought from this supplier and refuse to use them based on their attestation?

Realistically you will always need to be able to read documentation for:

• Your language
• Your compiler
• Your platform
• The APIs you’re calling

All of this will be in English even if your project is in another human language. Yes there will be translation for some of it available but it will be partial, incomplete, dated, etc. you’ll be using English so much anyway and have people from other countries working on the code regardless that you’re adding a needless barrier using a different national language.

Look at the French government open source codee for instance. The overall website is in French but the actual repos are covered and mostly seem to be in English

Sure. And then boot the client single user, and go even more nuts.

P.s. I’m not a windows fan

with ActiveDirectory ad group policies you can centrally configure the entire windows installation to the point that it isn’t possible for a local user, even with admin to leave the domain. User groups in Linux don’t really cover the use cases for installing and uninstalling applications and configuring options within all of those applications. Yes you can do some similar stuff with, e.g. FreeIPA or even binding to AD but fundamentally you have a local system with remote admin added on.

Avoiding snark and concentrating on first party features:

• Domain integration, e.g. ActiveDirectory
• Group policy configuration

You can do these things to an extent bit not as comprehensively and robustly

LOL, easier interface, sure, but:

HandBrake uses FFmpeg under the hood

Actually these days I would recommend using ChatGPT to get the ideal settings based on source medium and target quality/device

From the UK, actually born in Essex. Yes, 20-30 years ago people laughed at these, me included. These days you wouldn’t tell them in public, if at all. Same as for ‘Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman’ jokes.

Anytime you’re picking on someone for a characteristic that:

• They didn’t choose
• They can’t change

That’s a bad look. These days if you tell a joke like this at work you’re likely to get bad looks and your sudden employment will look bad.

It was probably not a version 1 feature initially and nobody had been sufficiently motivated and skilled enough to fix it since

The rolling part is that there is a nightly build released and no established ‘stable’ version. FTFY

Pretty disingenuous to say that it’s ok because there’s major versions when both RHEL and Centos (historic) had fairly significant changes on minor versions and a major release might last 3-5 years before a newer version became/becomes available.

Yeah, this and the ‘Frank Sinatra sings gangsta’s paradise’ video show that the Hollywood strikers might have a point

I fail to see the use case for Centos stream full stop. I wouldn’t want a rolling distro in an enterprise environment and I wouldn’t want a an enterprise distro outside of a server setting. Sure you can run it on a home or personal server, you could also run Debian Sid, Arch, Gentoo, etc.
