- johnisgood 11mo agoYes, we ought to change "containerization" everywhere! In the Linux kernel, user-space, Docker, everywhere, only because people have difficulties with context-awareness! /s :D Please IT people, tell me that this thing is absurd.
- veeti 11mo agoFreeBSD also ought to consider the trauma "jails" as an analogy can cause to those unfairly incarcerated by the U.S. justice system.
- johnisgood 11mo agoNow we are getting somewhere! :D
- rurp 11mo agoWe better get rid of database constraints at the same time, since people were constrained on those same ships. I don't see how we can move forward as an industry until these grievous harms have been addressed.
