Red Hat had ample reason to develop Podman when they started the project and no reason now to abandon it. Red Hat tried to work with Docker, but it didn’t go well. Docker also shot itself in the foot trying to push Swarm over Kubernetes and

Good for them. Either keep religion out of schools, or learn to accept that there's a wide variety of beliefs and that might mean some religions you don't feel comfortable with also holding events.

I seem to recall similar statements about EFTs, crypto, Web3, Metaverse, Second Life, and many others. Some of this will probably shake out to be real long term but a lot less than people think right now.

If anybody's using it like that, it's totally lost its meaning. The whole concept is that sometimes to get result A you have to a total laundry list of seemingly unrelated tasks to clear the way. This scene[1] from Malcolm in t

Here I am, still buying old Microsoft Natural ergonomic keyboards from the 90s off eBay and using them with Linux. To date, I haven’t found a better keyboard. And I don’t expect I’ll miss the Copilot key anytime soon.

This isn't wrong, really. Canonical, for all its flaws, correctly identified a lot of problems with Linux early on -- distribution, usability, application availability -- and then solved them. (Or made strides, anyway.) It also wasn&#x

Indeed. Most games seem to be targeted at folks who have all the time in the world and play games daily. If I'm very lucky I get a few hours on the weekend and maybe an hour or two during the week. It's frustrating to sit down a

OTOH, what I see is misuse of words like this ultimately ends with “well, lots of people use it like this, so now it’s correct.” (See, for example, “literally,” or “comprise,” or “hopefully.”)

This tracks for me: Rideshare apps have made it much easier to offload designated driver duties, so fewer people are driving drunk. I don’t do much drinking or going out lately, but pre-pandemic if I was going to have more than one drink, I

He explains in the post. "Our number one priority is to find another job." I believe it's implied "within the company." This isn't unique to Amazon. I've been at other companies that will give some period

Pretty sure Amazon's employment agreement / policies forbid moonlighting without manager approval. Which you're very unlikely to get if they're trying to move you out.

My point is that blaming "messaging" is pandering to a certain audience, and has nothing to do with the actual problems. Messaging, for example, didn't have anything to do with the pacing for Ahsoka. It didn't turn the S
