Please forgive a wildly uninformed question: What is it that VMware does today that isn’t covered by Docker?

I heard someone say there’s a North Montenegro now. Is that true?
I’m so tainted by Borat.
Sensuously?
I wonder if companies should be forced to provide a product’s core tech diagrams, material science, and major code base revisions to a kind of escrow, which is then released when the product is sunsetted.
Oh, good! I might finally get a break from the buttplug I lost last week.
This is how you get nobility. Before Reagan, wealth typically dissipated by the third generation. We are heading toward the old European model, where families are rich for a millennium.
Would bet that you’re a crypto fan.
I can’t figure out why BlueSky never comes out of invite-only. It would absolutely crush Twitter in this moment when there is so much demand for a direct replacement.
Prediction: The world will return to something that looks like feudalism, with increased clamping on birth rates until a few rich holders remain with their human retinues solely there to entertain and flatter them. Otherwise, AI and robotics will cosset them.
Once production is automated there is little need for workers, and once knowledge work is automated there is no need for a professional and technocratic class. Consumers have nothing to spend, so they are effectively a drag on the economy of wealth.
That world then looks a lot like the time before the merchant class developed. Everything of any quality is made for the wealthy, and everyone else exists solely at the pleasure of their masters.
Also the sale of personal data cookie.
As a nationalist economic policy, neo-mercantilism integrates well with the fascist economic model, particularly in this age when the masses are so accustomed to foreign goods that they might find the explicit notion of autarky alienating.
Understood. Are you for or against the proposed NY legislation?
Maybe this is the equivalent of defending ethical capitalism, but an ad-supported model can enable poor users to access content they couldn’t afford if it were paid.
We can’t be far from the first wave of uniquely targeted scam ads with faked photos/audio/video of the user’s friends, family, boss, etc.
My mother-in-law sent thousands of dollars for years to a fake UN official.
It’s a mitzvah indeed!
Have also heard of adult children installing Pi-holes in their parents’ houses to stop them from visiting Qanon hotbeds.
Make a Pi-hole for friends/family, unless you want to build discrete hardware projects that don’t need a fast CPU. My 17-year-old niece is doing breadboard projects on this gen of Pi.
If you add white vinegar to load, you won’t get the ick from clothes sitting in washer for hours.
