Nice try @discordapp , I'm still not paying for Nitro anymore. You're untrustworthy and I hope you lose so much money due to your stupid ass decisions fueled by corporate greed.

Good news. Docker has released Docker Hardened Images (DHI) as free, open source base images.

Mark Weiser has written a really interesting article about just how desirable new computing environments, like VR, "AI" agents, and so on, really are. On the top of "AI" agents, he writes:
