lemmy does not return 502 error codes because 502 means “bad gateway” and lemmy is not acting as a gateway, nginx is. An nginx sends the html. All apps should check the status code for codes like this one that don’t come from apps.

First off your argument that red hat deserves to see returns on their investment. But restricting redistribution of “their” software is a direct violation of the GPL license that they agreed to by working with GPL software.

Not to mention that the reason rocky Linux exist is because red hat killed centos.

Ree Hat has stabbed the community in the twice with the help of IBM and greed. My only hope is Oracle sues them over this express GPL violation, or that IBM’s lawyers realize there will be trouble. In my opinion anyone at red hat that tries to justify this should be ignored.

I will next time I’m in a theater that is on fire.

You in fact can yell fire in a theater without being arrested. It depends on the context (and weather or not there where injuries)

If the play calls for it and an actor says it. Or more simply if the theater is on fire.

With speech laws it matters more what the context is to the intended audience than what is specifically said.
