Oh boy! Now AI can feed my paranoia and tell me I have some crazy disease and make a designer cocktail recipe. Claude, design me a vaccine to cure death.

Docker charges for use in a corp environment for the windows installer version.
Let our engineers running the containers learn WSL. It's not all that hard and most of the dev work done in house here is for Linux anyway. With Claude running rampant they can probably figure it out.

‘On June 26, the County Manager of Henrico County, Virginia, John Vithoulkas, sent an email to thousands of county employees asking them to help the local government conserve electricity.
“Beginning July 1st, the rate we pay for electricity used in all Henrico County government and school facilities will increase dramatically — by 25%, increasing costs by an estimated $5 million next fiscal year. We anticipate more rate increases for electricity in the years ahead,” a copy of the email obtained by 404 Media said (emphasis his).’

Submission + - Microsoft wants to kill Docker Desktop on Windows with WSL containers (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: Microsoft has opened the public preview of WSL containers, bringing native Linux container support directly into the Windows Subsystem for Linux. The new wslc tool allows developers to build, run, and manage Linux containers without installing separate software such as Docker Desktop.
While Microsoft insists Docker Desktop, Podman Desktop, and Rancher Desktop remain important parts of the ecosystem, the direction seems obvious. If Windows eventually ships with a capable container platform built directly into WSL, many developers may decide they no longer need third-party container tools for everyday work.
The announcement also includes APIs that allow Windows applications to launch Linux containers programmatically, along with enterprise management features, improved file performance, new networking technology, and tighter integration with existing Windows tooling.
