The #opensource ecosystem moved fast on Gemma 4 today.
Google DeepMind released it.
#vLLM Project had Day 0 support across diverse accelerators.
#RedHat #AI Inference Server is ready for Gemma 4 experimentation too. https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2026/04/02/run-gemma-4-red-hat-ai-day-0-step-step-guide
In the enterprise, "stability" isn't a buzzword—it's a requirement. Red Hat just moved the needle with RHEL Extended Life Cycle, Premium. 🐧
We’re talking a 14-year lifecycle and 6 years of extended maintenance for minor releases in one subscription. This is about providing "well-lit paths" for mission-critical systems, allowing you to manage tech debt on your timeline, not a vendor's.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extended Life Cycle, Premium, is a new subscription providing a predictable 14-year life cycle for major Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. The stand-alone subscription consolidates extended support, simplifying the complexity of managing multiple support streams.
Global instant payments are scaling, but fragmented infra and legacy tech debt keep the real value out of reach. 🐧
To achieve true cross-border efficiency, we must solve the interoperability puzzle. Standards like #ISO20022 are "well-lit paths" to unlocking value and AI. The future depends on resilient, flexible platforms that bridge the gap between legacy and modern rails.

Sorry for my previous rant, but Richard #Stallman has been predicting this since *decades* from their libre ITS machines suffering corporate bullshit forever. Their own GNU project was to liberate #Unix from the #AT&T hands. Yes, it was and it's a bit bloated from the #BSD perspective, I know, I was an OpenBSD user and now #9front, but #hyperbolaBSD will try to fix that: minimalist BSD freedom with a #GNU license. And you might not need to suffer FFSv2 fscking itself again ;) as a plus.
So you if you now need a free #Unix, you know what to support. Consider anything from #Redhat/#IBM ultimately tainted. #Trisquel
it's sadly on a razors' edge. They will patch it... until they can't anymore.
#GNU #Guix it's fine, but better if you pick it bia Bittorrent under a non-US mirror.
If you want a Unix 2.0, head to #9front, but help with ath9k drivers (there are none) as they are the only ones without needing binary blobs (less opaque things to debug and a total freedom to distribute them with base).

Red Hat: Isolamento dos dados é o maior desafios das empresas
Leaked memo from Red Hat CTO and SVP tells Global Engineering that ALL roles will evolve: AI as a tool used on occasion becomes AI automation as a way to scale. Staff skillsets will grow (read: must grow) to use AI tools. This mirrors Microsoft push. The FOSS champion is mandating AI adoption across engineering. Whether this improves productivity or alienates experienced engineers remains to be seen. 🐧🤖

@jonw I think my first distro was #RedHat back in the day where they would add free CD's in magazines.
I was just talking about it to my friend @bandarbaru_1 the other day.
G-d i'm old.
