The Linux Foundation spends 2% of its money on Linux (kernel) and twice as much on "blockchain".

Edit: Updated to link directly to the annual report, as some folks objected to the techrights.org site (I'm unfamiliar with it, so I'll just trust and link directly).

Edit2: Maybe not? I have no idea what this chart means. It isn't explained in the text that I can find.

2025: AI is cheaper than a human worker! It will help your business cut costs!

2026: if each one of your developers isn't also paying a full senior developer salary to an LLM, you are a fool and a child. AI writes 70% of our code which also happens to be our service uptime ratio.

GoDaddy pulled this bullshit on me once too. My personal domain, which I had registered with them a little less than 20 years before and never moved out of simple inertia, vanished one day from my account. No warning, no notice, no nothing. I contacted customer support and was told that it had been transferred to someone else (!).

After several days of ferocious arguments with their customer support, the domain quietly and mysteriously appeared back in my account. Again, no notice, no apology.

That was the kick in the pants I needed to move my truly ancient domains off GoDaddy for good

If you are thinking about running your blogpost through an AI editor, don't! It almost always makes it more boring.

Whatever you have to say is what you had to say anyway. Just say that, you don't need more. And the mistakes are perfectly fine.

I spell check once, proofread once, then publish. When people point out errors, it makes me feel good, because it means people are reading what I write, and I correct it then.

I'd rather have your charming acoustic-performance words, even if you make mistakes! I love mistakes in writing. Rustic and cozy.

sometimes you see a piece of code so beautiful you simply must commit it to physical media in the most elegant way you know

Doesn't work without a Google/Apple-tied device btw. There is absolutely no story for how this would work on a desktop, anything without a Google/Apple account, or open source OS at all either.
