I'm a digital nomad with my head sometimes in the AWS and Azure Clouds but more in the fog of k8s of late.

The way Microsoft managed to make the word CoPilot completely meaningless needs to be studied

Unmanaged complexity and excessive WIP will lead to prostate cancer of the I/T department:
- Throughput/flow drops significantly
- It gets really painful to get anything done
- If treated the prognosis is excellent
- If left untreated it could kill the whole organism

Ubuntu Linux is planning to comply with Age Verification law.
On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states

@Restore2012 @nixcraft You do realize this is required by law in California (effective Jan 1, 2027) and is about to pass in Colorado (effective Jan 1, 2028), right?
English
@nixcraft Will never use Ubuntu if they do that. I use Debian right now
English
@Suidecidal @nixcraft Voluntary attestation of your age without verification today; mandatory connecting your government-issued digital ID to your account in the future.
English
@nixcraft There is no “need” for age verification. It’s compulsion of identity tracking.

More than enough for programming... what are you using for making your YouTube videos? Surely you don't need that much processing power and storage for that, do you @nickchapsas?

Ok, I'm done with Windows, enough is enough

@dimitrispan @nickchapsas When I finally wipe my Windows 10 Pro headless box it's going to be getting Omarchy.

@nickchapsas @FluxCapacitorXX In a nutshell, that summarizes why I have Macs at home and interact with them primarily.
Does Parallels allow you to use "mac native" keyboard shortcuts (eg: Command+S to save) in a Windows VM yet?

@FluxCapacitorXX I'll take the spyware that doens't suck over the one that sucks

@ashar_builds @nickchapsas For programming I would be fine staying on Linux: that's where Podman (and Docker) are actually native as opposed to needing some sort of system shim like WSL or the new containers on macOS. (The only reason I need Windows or macOS is for my photography work.)

@nickchapsas What if you could have a truly private, secure version of Windows? Would that make a difference?

May I please have a Pro version of @Microsoft @Windows that doesn't ask me to sign in with a cloud account, never phones home with telemetry or any other data, never shows me ads, and is truly private and secure? I'm willing to pay 3x (or more) the retail price for this.

I wonder: if @elonmusk reposted my tweet, would Microsoft actually consider it?

In 2004 the Sun Fire E25k was the apex predator of computing. This was the largest single-image Unix machine that money could buy ($2M fully loaded).
This bad boy had:
• 36 UltraSPARC IV processors (72 cores)
• 576 GB RAM
• 18 fully hot swappable CPU/memory boards
• gigabit ethernet and fibre channel HBAs
• Redundant power supplies, cooling zones, draw 15kW of power
I deployed software to these things. Uptime was measured in years. This was THE ONE.
Man I miss Sun.

Frustrated Windows users are switching to Linux because of Microsoft’s Windows 11 shenanigans? No way. Nobody saw that coming 🤣
