I keep saying that commercial, money making clients should donate 10% of their profit (or living money) to the server their user chooses. This is how FOSS services will survive.

You either have to learn very advanced, current security stuff and completely understand the logic of Linux security or pay significant sum to a person who knows to do criminal things on any Linux or protect your private life. Windows? Multiply time& money by 10X. Unless you are Fortune 500 or a government you aren't getting the source anyway.

I am telling it to people who will install any ISO blindly paying significant amounts of cash to VPN services with their own credit cards and access their Gmail :-)

I really don't care about people who behave like they are living in North Korea or who wants a North Korean World to live in.

Even Digg people could say "No, F you" to Digg superstar owners. It is just a damn URL to type.

I wished they had evil lawyers looking after such stuff and sold strictly opt in data to AI corps. Free for FOSS though.

Spez like people are even capable of leeching archive.org and still sell the data which was archived for good intentions.

Liberal market gives end users choice. If they don't choose, they get the consequences.

This is more like people choosing Trump like types and complaining. Alternative exists, choose it.

This is what so called open ai does. It isn't open even in the sense of open group Unix. I just feel pity for American tax payers as elections are near. Both of these people have significant say in US/World politics.

Remember even large corporations standardising on truly open protocols can be reversed after whatever the situation leading up to it is resolved.

I just remember Jabber/XMPP federation which included Google. Once Google decided they got big enough, they abandoned it. Of course nothing happened to the protocol itself, it is well and alive both on Fortune 500 and selected as official choice for presence protocol on internet2.edu

I don't like bluesky because I don't like it's owner. I don't like the owner because he thinks everyone is dumb and forgot the fact that nobody pointed a gun on his face to sell Twitter to some Arab dictators.

A lot, just like today's Mainframe and Super computers. They are calculating complex formulas and doing gigantic batch jobs, millisecond AI fraud detection etc. A regular computer or server will throttle a lot while they are designed to be loaded 100% of times. Dave Plummer of MS recently made a video of a 40TB RAM monster.

Did you ever look at how much today's top of the line gaming rigs consume? ;-)

If you ever talk with an insurance guy or system admin, you will understand why as/400 can't be replaced that easily and most of the time people were unhappy with generic stuff replacing it.

Once while the split of IBM was on table, Microsoft was only interested in AS400 line. They used to do a lot of critical things on them. Yes, even Microsoft.

One can emulate AS400 since the entire thing including hardware and OS is a virtual platform from the start. I am not into financial/insurance/travel so I didn't investigate if IBM offers a POWER or Xeon replacement. You won't be able to explain throwing away millions of lines working code to move to some current fashion framework/language. These people make their money from 1/1000s of cents.

Isn't aeorogel really expensive to begin with? I mean we have tech like Ytong and they are still using bricks in buildings. Why? Ytong seems expensive to uneducated who have no clue about TCO and engineering.
