Yeah, you're not understanding what I'm saying: Azure doesn't just host Linux VMs, significant parts of the infrastructure are built on Linux. Microsoft has just as much (if not more) to lose from a resurgent SCO lawsuit than anyone, they aren't going to be the ones rocking this boat.

Wumao army resentful - no good for soup.

All that and self-awareness, too??

It has happened under both.

One could argue that no one is doing it in six days without a shit ton of automation support. Some cherubim in ops saved eons when he wrote createstar.pl and it's still running in production today (though it looks like creategalaxy.pl stopped executing some time ago and hasn't been restarted and/or patched yet).

This was a reasonable screed two decades ago (and probably at least somewhat factual) but today Microsoft is one of the world's largest users of Linux. It has no current motivation to harm Linux and every reason to defend it.

Didn't think your talking point through, did you.

Any failures [on the part of peripheral manufacturers] to supply drivers are only failures if Linux is in fact a badass OS that they should be supplying drivers for.

Q.E.D., you fucking moron; next time don't post.

I'm old enough to recall the olden time - two years ago - when the hiring had slowed because there were fears (that had gone nowhere, just muted) that US economy is overheated and about to enter a recession.

But I guess the underlying conditions for recession are harder to spot, when the economic data are dominated by inflation (gas prices) and inflation (AI bubble).

That's not it (it usually isn't with you). What's actually occurring is exactly what I predicted: that Apple would fumble VR. At least they're realizing it.

Of course you have.

I recently downgraded from Cable 800MB to starlink. Simply because for some reason at 2pm EVERY SINGLE DAY my ping times with charter would go from around 30/ms to 100-1000/ms and it lasted for a few hours. I work from home and that was unusable. The only other "broadband" available was starlink. So now I'm much slower in the 100-200MB range, but overall we haven't noticed much difference.

So I'd say, yeah, you don't have to go all the way up to gigabit to be considered broadband.

Still stupid, I see.

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on Slashdot.

You should try harder not to post.

If they build it they will use it. But do they want to use it? Hydro seems so very easy and simple, but impoundment caused problems in many places. Out west drought has lowered water levels almost to the point where generation must stop. Similar problems in Europe. Pumped storage needs a water source to pump. The engineering has to be done. Somehow nuclear seems to be overlooked too often. SMR, anyone?
