Even worse, it looks like it's giving me a side eye. Like it's disappointed in me.

Absolutely no excuse that this happened, but I believe the point he is trying to make is that they didn't make any money on it. Still a shitty thing to let happen, and it should simply never have happened at all, but it's still better than if they had sold it and made a profit, I guess.

On a related note, the website cheat.sh is also a great resource. Just curl it with the command you want to learn about as the endpoint.

For example, if I want to learn about grep, just open a terminal and

$ curl cheat.sh/grep

And a short and sweet description with examples will be returned.

I don't think the shareholders care a whole lot unless stuff like this actually costs them customers. I am curious to know what some of the Red Hat developers think about this whole situation, though.

The formation of OpenELA arises from Red Hat's recent changes to RHEL source code availability.

The FBI shot and killed a 75 year old man in Provo, Utah. The man had recently threatened to assassinate Joe Biden and also Alvin Bragg. The FBI was serving a warrant for his arrest, but the man was allegedly armed, and he was shot. https://apnews.com/article/utah-biden-fbi-assassination-threat-ba3cc1d3b2f6cca8bd429febdcf04219
