@freemo Michael Leunig! Excellent Australian cartoonist. Plenty more examples of his often-insightful work at leunig.com.au/works/cartoons

@rdaily I visited the Virgin Islands once.. ever since then it was just called "The Islands"

@SpinozasHeresy Did law enforcement claim that violent protest would be allowed or something? Iusually just assume there is 0 tolerance for violence no?

@sandorspruit yea singularity has a similar problem as it is a profit company that may revoke access to its registries for profit at any time.

Apptainer I have heard of but didnt dig into.

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

Replying to all the random individuals that seem to think that I’m “endorsing” one of the Fediverse products over any other, and seem to be making a big deal over #akkoma vs #mastodon etc.

That’s not the case. I’m actually a horrible MIS person, and I would never want to maintain my own server. I’m a programmer for chrissake!

The same way you should fear me if I hold a soldering iron, you should be very very nervous if I were to do any server management.

So all credit (or blame) for the choice of Fediverse platform goes to @monsieuricon, who maintains kernel.org and just made it really easy for me to try this out.

… and on a similar note: not only am I not much of a MIS person, I’m also not much of a social networking person.

I foresee a lot of disappointment in the future of any followers of this account 🔮.

As of 3 days ago Linus Trovalds and other kernel developers are now ont he fedi @torvalds is his handle if you want to follow.

@sandorspruit It might be of limited help yea.. The problem is pipelines everywhere are going to break, docker will become damn near unusuable. There is no magical cure for that.

Thanks, I am aware of most of this and how to host my own docker registry... but this issue goes much deeper than that.

@PawelK As lkong as I can replace docker swarm and docker with something equivelant I will.. I built a lot on top of dockerswarm that will be hard to move from.

@freemo Yea the design decision to allow image names to fall back to docker by default was plenty questionable but is now definitely on the wrong side of history. It's funny that it's by their own hand and amidst a wave of supply chain and typosquatting attacks

@arichtman Yea agreed. Right now im already looking to jump ship from docker (should there be a good alternative) and most of the reason is the fall back to hub...

I suspect docker removing the free tier is going to absolutely devistate them. All the open-source software, which is what dominated docker, is now scrambling to find alternatives.

Also since docker treates docker hub as first class for fetching images I suspect people will move off docker entierly.

It is going to be pretty crazy for the open source community too having all the images they depend on just disapear. Dev chains everywhere are going to break...

@voidabyss

Usually as far as I can tell societies tend to go into phases where everyone is basically bat-shit crazy.. They either bounce back and go back to sanity when they see how bad that is, or they collapse.

The usa is in the bat-shit crazy phase, so it will resolve one of two ways pretty quick and we will see a radical change. Lets just hope its not the direction of collapse.

@voidabyss

The collapse of any nation will disrupt the world, and certainly one as big as the USA... Short term I dont think anyone will be happy and it willhurt many... long term, maybe it will be for the better, its hard to say. In my eyes America is in one of the worst states of all countries but other countries are just a hair behind us when it comes to self-destructive qualities... so it would not suprise me that if the USA collapsed it would cause a lot of other countries to collapse too.

My fear is the collapse of western societies might lead to a super power gaining control and makiing things much worse.

@Pat

It has been only a day since I discovered jira from the command line, but my god it has probably already doubled my productivity.

Will the United States collapse before the end of this decade?
