Unikernels (e.g. MirageOS) were gaining traction right before containers swooped in and sucked the air out of the room. I think they could see renewed interest in the very near future.

> now focused on a lot of things I don’t care about

Yeah, I'm a paying customer and have been asking for a desktop app for Proton Drive for years. Instead, they've focused their efforts on a crypto wallet and a chatbot. (Sure, we recently got a CLI app which _is_ better than nothing but come on.)

I've noticed a marked increase in overall shitty, childish, selfish behavior in and out of the work place since around 2016. Being an asshole has absolutely been normalized.

Same. I've been a customer since nearly Day 1. I would prefer not to have to migrate but this behavior is very concerning. I wish I could just (reliably/practically) host my own damn email server.

Take a beat and think about the situation we've found ourselves in: almost every company suddenly has hard, expensive dependencies on a brand new toolchain which is _being tested in prod_; people are giving these black boxes access to their systems, feeding them trade secrets, credentials and all other manner of secrets and PII; these tools are known to escape containment and do ... whatever they please; the downstream ecosystems and almost every other piece of software currently being released are all being developed with (tainted by ...) this shit.

The world economy is also being propped up by all of this. In all likelihood, this Binance hack is only a preview of what's to come.

> having children you're the enemy.

With these people, this greatly depends on _who_ is having the children.

My dentist recently got a fancy 3D scanner courtesy of Invisalign. It's been very revealing to see such detailed views of all sides of my teeth and their various maladies. However, at >40, I suddenly have a crossbite which needs immediate treatment using... You guessed it, Invisalign!

I jest but I honestly have no idea whether or not this is a legit issue that is worth paying $$$$s for and/or if this is just someone shilling for a vendor to earn a kickback.

There have already been rumors of some administration-wide pardon scheme but that'll probably fall on its face when put to the test, like almost everything else they do.

It's baffling to watch people destroy their reputations, careers and possibly risk their freedom for a chance to get close to power and pad their (possibly offshore/crypto) savings accounts. For as evolved as we pretend to be, we're really not very far beyond our "lizard brains" and a few missed meals away from mania. I was actually just thinking about Todd Blanche and the stupid games he's playing, flirting with contempt in a number of lawsuits. He's almost certainly got less time in the AG seat than Trump has in the president's and reality is going to slam into his brown nose very hard, sooner than later.

There are a few dipshit NY pols playing this game right now. They have their signs and literature out touting their "votes to (temporarily) stop data centers".
