  • You won't

    Its a people problem, not a platform problem.

  • This is the way.

    Same with mobile apps. And give me a way to support a dev without using Google Play (I realize iOS is more problematic).

  • Well vox is garbage anyway, so no loss.

  • Broadcom reverses controversial plan in effort to cull VMware migrations

    Jump

  • It's not a reversal, it's a minor adjustment to keep companies from leaving, so they can jack the prices again next year.

    They see the writing - Enterprises are adjusting by moving to solutions like Proxmox (or vendors who provide the full package support), which will drive a need for the Linux KVM skillset. This will in turn expand that skillset, enabling more SMBs to run KVM.

    Note that KVM is more performant than VMware, and that VMware has already switched VMware Workstation to KVM. Yep, their own desktop app is no longer their own code, but a shell on KVM.

    Die in a fire CEO. VMware was the go-to since about 2006. It will now get supplanted by versions of KVM.

  • What was it about Michael Jackson that made him the king of pop?

  • Lol that too!

  • What was it about Michael Jackson that made him the king of pop?

  • Not "the same", more like "same enough" to have broad appeal - that is he understood what was immediately accessible in music, but it wasn't always the same thing. That's what was so brilliant about his music.

  • Go back to the 70's and 80', witness the insane popularity of songs by the Jacksons, and in particular how popular Michael's songs were.

    He also did duets with other artists and I believe he had hand in songs that became popular with other artists.

    That's all, really. The Jackson's had their finger on the pulse of pop. And I say this as someone who never listened to their music intentionally, even I was very aware of it (and will admit much of it had a strong appeal).

    Edit: Pop is tricky to stay on top of. By definition, "popular" music has the broadest appeal, which also means it's less complex. The more complex music is, the smaller the group that can appreciate it. I like to use Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" as an example - I have musical training and still find it challenging to "grok".

    So Michael and family had an unusual ability to change going forward, and keep their music engaging, while still having a broad appeal. Few musicians can do this, let alone to Michael's level.

  • Mechanical Batteries: The Future of Energy Storage? | FD Engineering

    Jump

  • Yep.

    Caterpillar made/makes flywheel UPS systems, where the flywheel is in a vacuum and uses magnetic or air bearings.

    It's much safer having 300 flywheel UPS racks than having 300 battery based systems. Also lifespan is much greater.

  • Why does Mississippi issue different plates for each county?

  • My guess is plate assignment/registration was delegated to county offices from the start.

    Honestly, saw the first one, and that was enough to not see the rest.

    It's the stereotypical "tell the rest of the story" lame crap today.

  • Monday doesn't bother me. I like what I do, if I didn't, I'd be looking for something else.

    Everywhere you go will have it's share of shit to deal with, because people.

    Early in my career a boss said "If I have 3 people working for me, I have 9 problems to deal with".

    Society is the challenge with work, which is why big companies focus on team building. Us technical types tend to be rather oblivious to it (or downright adversarial), so his leadership made a big impact for me. I'm grateful to that.

    I honestly have no idea what point OP is trying to make.

  • Wtf is "hate speech"?

    A: whatever those in control decide it is, used as a means of suppressing dissent.

    Just think about that for a bit. What if I controlled Bluesky and decided your description of "toxicity" was hate speech?
