Gurman adds an important qualifier: "Still, the release is six months away and production has yet to ramp up. That means the timing isn't final."

Especially technology articles.
Must be true.

Also, there's usually some good bikini shots of one of the Kardashian sisters, so it's worth checking out.

Bump.
Just discovered Alpine for use as a virtual machine at my proxmox datacenter... got jabber, iptables, wireguard, bash, installed in no time. Total install, os + application + DNS utils < 300 MB. Wickedly fast ... and I love how slim she looks .... no bloat, all the familiar tools ... I love it

Looks like it will run xfce too for desktop use.. could be the new devuan.

To venerate the givers of our digital sustenance .. to count the pantheon of the blessed ... like the ArchAngels of technology who surrounded the most holy Steve, and the wretched who jailbreak the sacred trust of those who know best ...

Accidentally published on Easter Sunday? I think not.

You may rise now and bring the good tidings to the vast unwashed Androids.

"Announcements"
Does anyone actually believe any of this? Or anything, lately ?
Who does Microsoft think they are? Apple?

There are no details, I actually clicked the link , the summary is the entire "story". Another AI nothingburger.

No user serviceable parts.

Also, they are pretending to model a brain.. Google car is saying that .. it's wierdly logical, actually kurzweil said we'd do that, but science fiction said so too... proprietary isn't just for Apple anymore, we all make kool now.

I don't think you're wrong but.. we aren't just talking about "thinking". You can't analyze code without experience. Junior people can't understand without having DONE stuff. They won't have anything to compare too.

So you're admitting you aren't smart enough to self host?
Try searching "open source replacements for github", maybe that's more your speed.
Hit the road Jack.

Yeah, I guess invite only is what I am talking about.
But you have to know who's contributing, so I don't see the problem.

No, you're right.
Complete assholes run the world.

It's not about brains, obviously, it's about aggressively bullying people into doing what you want. It's never been different and it's never been a secret.
Only difference between now and back in the days of Saddam Hussein, is that they used to just blow your head off if you failed to do their bidding, but now even Trump and Musk just fires you and you end up selling your real estate to pay your legal bills. So much more civilized.

no no, not linux, DOOM!
Think of the bragging rights.

so why are using Microshit?

This is a case where you should blame the victim.
Also, Jack, it's not too late to self host.
So get cracking ... spend your time on self improvement, not complaining that they dun it to ya.

Yeah, but I'm gonna say nobody asked Joe to write code for free .. he has his reasons .. example rosegarden midi sequencer .. I do some testing for it, the lead programmer and I go back and forth ... we're musicians .. it's driven by "passion".. for sure no money is involved .

But I think the larger issue , if opensource was somehow administered by an oversight body, how would it not turn into a shitshow like Mozilla, for instance? Or look how systemd was planted into good sw, Debian, and now the most popular Linux distros are embraced, extended, and extinguished by corporate overlords. I can't see that model being able to exist untainted.

It's the end of the world and people party and you know fuck thier brains out, lots of drinking and drugs too.. so based on current hysteria I'm willing to accept that mass consumption of hallucinogens is a better place to be than ... ugh ... doctors? AYFKM?
No. Straight line to corporate profits and easy exploitation of vulnerable willing people. Keep doctors way way away.

And don't drive when you do hallucinogens.

thanks for the insights

I use VM's for running my old ubuntu web server that was all configured and working ...oh.. 15 years ago :-)
