5 ways to save your Windows 10 PC in 2025 - and most are free https://www.zdnet.com/article/5-ways-to-save-your-windows-10-pc-in-2025-and-most-are-free/ by @sjvn

Don't want to trash your machine? Who says you have to? There are ways to keep it working. Some of them will even let you keep running Windows 10.

@etchedpixels That will happen, too, no matter what I say.

@aho It's easy enough to get one now. I've been using Dell XPS 13s for ages now. But, if you're talking about convincing bosses to let you use desktop Linux over Windows, that's another fight.

A friend asked me about what #musicals and plays her recently stage-struck daughter might want to see. I was full of ideas, and I found this excellent summary of #theater performances available on the various streaming services. Enjoy!

@VirginiaMurr My pleasure. I'm a huge theater buff, if you need any suggestions, feel free to ask.

@VirginiaMurr Oh, and one other thought. Take her to see live theater whenever you can. It may change her life forever. If you can take her to Broadway or London's West End for a theater jaunt, that's even better.

I'm wanting to like this, but since it's Mozilla I figure its just another case of Mozilla overreach. I still want to know how much the new CEO is making, and how much Mitchell Baker continues to take home as chairperson: Building open, private AI with the Mozilla Builders Accelerator https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-builders-accelerator/

@BrideOfLinux I don't see how Mozilla can pull this off. And, I also have questions about exactly where their funding is going.

@BrideOfLinux @researchbuzz No bet.I'm looking forward to reading their next 990. Lord, the things I find amusing!

@BrideOfLinux @researchbuzz When they dumped Rust, I gave up on them.

@sjvn Do you know if Ed Zitron is on Mastodon? (I'm asking you b/c I see you're connected to him on LinkedIn.)

@sjvn@mastodon.social avatar

@researchbuzz He had an account here, https://mastodon.social/@Zitron But it looks like it hasn't been active in years.

ICQ, RIP: Why all instant messaging disappears (in the end) https://zdnet.com/article/icq-rip-why-all-instant-messaging-disappears-in-the-end/ by @sjvn

The doors are closing on ICQ, just as they did AIM, but someday, the same fate may happen to Slack.

@aho I'd like to see IRC make a comeback.

Where do Terraform and OpenTofu go from here? https://theregister.com/2024/05/24/opinion_column_terraform/ by @sjvn

When I look at my tea leaves, I see a good chance of Terraform and
OpenTofu reuniting as an project once IBM acquires HashiCorp.

Cable déjà vu? Look who's bundling services (and what it's going to cost you) https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/cable-packaging-comes-to-streaming/ by @sjvn

These new bundles will save you money in the short run. In the long run, however, we're looking at the rebirth of cable TV with its high prices.

sjvn,
@sjvn@mastodon.social avatar

@DanaBlankenhorn For now, we do. Stay tuned. I see consolation and more bundling in our near-term future.

@funnelfiasco Good question. Personally I think they'd been better off just supporting OpenTofu and be done with it. It would certainly have saved them billions! The long-term plan is the usual IBM one: Terraform/OpenTofu as a service and integrated into all its and Red Hat various cloud offerings. Oh, and Ansible integration will be a big one.

It’s been a while since Hans Reiser was in the news. That’s because it’s been 16 years since he was sentenced to spend 15 years to life as a guest of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for murdering his wife. Before that he was an important part of the Linux and open-source scene, as the creator of the ReiserFS filesystem: In a Feel Good Moment, Linux 6.10 Makes One Last Change to ReiserFS - FOSS Force https://fossforce.com/2024/05/in-a-feel-good-moment-linux-6-10-makes-one-last-change-to-reiserfs/

@BrideOfLinux I knew Hans.I'm glad he appears to have put his prison time to good use.
