Microsoft has already contributed a shitton to the Linux kernel. So long as they don’t evict, only augment, it’s a good thing.
Extend comes after Embrace; sure. Historically, guess what comes next.

I love asking the “how do you know” all day, but our official IT people have been bitten by outlook and cloud and LLMs so badly that they completely overlook the CLOUD ACT risks and general sovereignty issues inherent with using those from outside America.
So the “has this been approved” part is not gonna go like I’d like.
They make you attend the meeting, but if you’re like me you’ll be messaging your boss and saying "I’m not okay with being recorded, so I’ll just mute and shutter for the duration, thanks. I think that’s the best we can do.
I’m lucky that
…so we can refuse to interact while being recorded, without fear of reprisal.


There’s a trend, here.


Man, I wish! One of my contracts is with a gov-like org, and they’re all-in on the slop.
Reminding them about PII and sovereignty is telling, and you know they’re beyond help as soon as they say “yes, but”.
Is HAOS free of containers? #iso27002
Student: “language is prescriptive not descriptive”
Teacher: “you fail 3rd grade spelling”
And I absolutely support keeping people back who believe English should be guided and evolved through “Likes”.


This. 100 times this.


Speculation is neat.
You think Biden woulda done a shitcoin or 3, rounded up the Others to harass, torture, and deport (maybe to their birth country, maybe to a gulag, who knows) like this guy?
I’m thinking this level of cruelty is a 100-year problem, and that anyone else on the planet except another craven dictator would’ve been a better choice.

I have a clone. I’ve had one since I was a few minutes old.
No big deal, but be ready for the clone wanting independence and an identity.


Penalize them with reduced search prominence? Search is so bad right now that we or the perpetrator may never discover they’ve been penalized.


That’s why they’re lobbying for it.
Sure. But don’t call me “500 year old map”. #commaSplice


a lot of people are terrible writers, and as such, the idea that another user can actually write is offensive to them.
I worry you’re right, here; but only in brief episodes. I mostly want to assume otherwise.
I LOVE great writing: proper punctuation, good delineation, awareness of mass nouns, etc. I love when I see great writing and wish I could be as good.
I feel for people who don’t.


Are there 7-11s? I thought the ABCs pushed them out. (ABC: All Blocks Covered)


It could be regional or arbitrary. I say ‘coding’ a lot because it’s shorter. I could say one is about the keyboard work and one is about the architecture and design, but it’s really the fact that one’s shorter.
But in my environment, they’re interchangeable as much as anything can be. And I’ve grown up using both; even in college in the '90s, coding C and m68k.
YMMV?
Snipe-it failed iso27002 when I last checked.




Aaaaaaaand defunded


Cheapest what?
The Compress attribute has been in even ext3 since day 1. I’ve never tried it, though.
