Linus Torvalds: “I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.

Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.

Tech layoffs (and all other job layoffs where they replace YOU with shity AI) are a failure of leadership. There, I said it openly.

Some legendary Unix servers have run for years without a reboot. sysadmins today generally avoid this since it means missing critical security patches 😊

It is happening, bubble is getting ready to pop? I guess space data center is not enough and whatever stuff Grok does.

Rating agency S&P Global has lowered Oracle's creditworthiness from BBB to BBB- . This is the lowest notch in the so-called investment-grade area. A further downgrade would push the database company into speculative and junk territory. Oracle has issued massive bonds and if it hits junk levels, the risk of default increases. The AI bubble is getting stronger day by day 😅

The blinking Linux or macOS or Unix terminal cursor is Morse code “please back this system up”. Are you acting on it? 🤔

Japan develops a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries and it could be a major breakthrough

Given such geo politics around oil and wars causing shock for everyone, I think such development is a good thing for clean energy for all.

/etc/ stands for “et cetera” because the original Unix devs genuinely couldn’t be bothered to name it anything better

Without this machine there won’t be any social media, AI/LLM, gaming consoles, mobile devices or anything modern technology. It is made in Europe. This is the heart of modern semiconductor industry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML
