Would it be a good or bad look for the Fedora project if they went after a popular and commercially ruthless hosting provider offering "Fedora Hosting" for trademark infringement, while cutting off repo and update access to that provider specifically, unless they paid up some % of revenue?

Regardless of if Fedora was justified or not, it would totally destroy trust in the ecosystem and people would start to talk about seeking alternatives, which is exactly what is happening with WordPress.

> The abbreviation “WP” is not covered by the WordPress trademarks, but please don’t use it in a way that confuses people. For example, many people think WP Engine is “WordPress Engine” and officially associated with WordPress, which it’s not. They have never once even donated to the WordPress Foundation, despite making billions of revenue on top of WordPress.

This is kind of a wild change. And the change of tone about "WP" aside, it is very strange to make complaints like this on a trademark policy page of all places.

This whole thing is very bizarre and not a great look.

OP didn't say they disliked TypeScript, just that it might not be the solution for all problems.

Edit: I think this would be much easier to accept if the job market weren't so tough right now. You could shop around for an employer better aligned and who "gets it."

I wanted the same thing (to programmatically control a laser) so I took an existing library (oriented around drawing of frames) and hooked into it in a way that I could send an limitless stream of points to it.

Generally, the search term you want to search for is "ILDA". ILDA compatible lasers have a standard connector on the back to set the X/Y position of the laser as well as the intensity of the color components.

* The job market is very tough right now. Not getting a lot of responses seems to be a pretty common experience.

* Thought experiment: imagine you have 100 applicants and need to move some of them on to a phone screen. How much about each applicant would you want to read? Keep resumes on the short side. I've heard 1 page is a good limit, as is last 10 years of experience. Throw the old stuff out. Make your resume a picture of your experience and capabilities that is easy to understand at a glance.

* From my own experience in this market it is much better to have a human point of contact -- a recruiter, an employee referral, etc -- than cold applying.

Why go through all that trouble of scheduling a meeting between the candidate and the CEO if they knew they weren't going to accept the candidate based on something they knew near the top of the hiring funnel?

Surely the CEO has better things to do with his time? Or perhaps not?

Initial issues with the iGPU seem to have gone away with software updates. The one chore you will have is finding a fractional scaling setup that works for you. I went with turning Gnome's experimental fractional scaling feature on. (See 1.1.1.1 https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI) Some people just use a font size multiplier.

Everything else works great.

I'm a well rounded web developer with a little more than a decade of experience, but consider "DevOps"/SRE/platform engineering a strength of mine, and I've often been the go-to person on the team for those kinds of things. I'd fit well on a dev team, but am open to SRE or Platform Engineering roles as well.

A few other strengths: I've got some GIS and data vis experience in my background. I've followed the information security world for a long while with great interest and apply that interest towards building secure systems.

Apparently it has blown up on TikTok and they are overwhelmed with requests.

I don't know if I can get past the faux-open-source-community appearance, however. In particular, there's an invitation to contribute to the project, and I don't understand why I would sign a CLA to give unlimited license for unpaid contributions to an "association" which will only share that contribution back with the community in a restricted way, that they can also modify to their choosing at any time.

Presumably, most or all of the "contributors" on the contributors page are employees.
