"The good old days when America was “great” aren’t the 1950s. They’re whatever decade you were 11, your parents knew the correct answer to any question, and you’d never heard of war crimes tribunals, microplastics, or improvised explosive devices. Or when you were 15 and athletes and musicians still played hard and hadn’t sold out." Yes, our kids will think of the 2020s as the "good old days."

This is true. I'm lucky enough to have avoided it. I'm still listening to and enjoying new music, but I'm well aware that I'm an outlier. I suspect it's because my dad was a music wholesaler, and from a young age, I listened to a lot of different music, and I never stopped.

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.

More than money, open-source pros want these 2 things from their next jobs https://zdnet.com/home-and-office/work-life/more-than-money-open-source-pros-want-these-2-things-from-their-next-jobs/ by @sjvn

Want to hire top savvy people? Money's good, but they really want work-life balance and remote work.

You don’t really think you can depend on answers pulled from the likes of self-appointed Reddit experts, do you? https://www.computerworld.com/article/2114681/what-happens-when-genai-vendors-kill-off-their-best-sources.html by @sjvn

vendor steals their answers. They'll collapse with garbage data if they don't start paying creatives.

@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.

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.

@DanaBlankenhorn Fox is in the forthcoming Venu sports online streaming services.

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