And we will keep shooting ourselves in the foot until the situation improves.

I would never use such a low resolution image.

WebPee can finally go back into the yellow googlehole it crawled out of.

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.

The only way to comply is to bind your identity to every single thing you do on the internet. Every single thing you do, every comment you made about a politician can and will be traced back to your real identity. And then the roundups will begin. Those that do not toe the party line will be sent to the meat grinders.

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.

I hate AI as much as the next person that has been in IT for 30 years, but they're adding a reasonable feature to task manager based on what hardware is currently being thrown at computers.

However, this being The New Microsoft I'm surprised it's not a subscription.

I've seen amazing deployments of rural fiber in places with a population density below 1 person per square mile. Meanwhile, back where I live where the population density is approximately "I can see 78 street lights from my front porch" can barely get DSL and you can tell where I live by looking for the odd gap in starlink coverage.

Well, I do hope to be moving to that spot out in the woods with fiber soon, so yay.

Millions of photos of children? Why would they want that?

The whole point of making the floor 1Gbps was to force upgrades, growing the economy by creating jobs for new deployments, and I guess consumers get tolerable speeds, too. If anything they should have made the floor even higher.

I think it's sad that once again we have a company that is providing a direct benefit to the world and they're worth only $30b when you have shitty AI companies that make the world a worse place that are worth many times that.

Or maybe that's just the ram needed to play the game.

Fuck microsoft.

Surely the leopard won't eat *my* face.
