Large foundations usually get corrupted with contributions requiring board seats to make sure funds are spent responsibly. Leading to the organizations being captured by special interests, often pulling them away from their original goals and mission. So with Firefox shrinking…
Interesting piece on the government trying to force programmers to memory safe languages. Having come from a megacorp, the push is because new programmers aren’t that adept at using C and C++ where you directly access memory and need to…
I have a post with the interview of one of the founders of Zorin OS, and I installed it yesterday and have been using it this morning. It’s been quite nice, and the desktop is a nice customization of Gnome…
Zorin OS is a pretty nice GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu LTS releases, and its focus is to be an easy replacement for Windows. With Windows 10 going end of life in less than a year (unless you spend $30…
And Bitcoin hit a new all time high of $76,500 yesterday, and currently $75,755. I still see these banker funds as a way to manipulate price and wreck investors trying to use leverage, but when the OCGFC funds are running…

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has been busy working on improving sd card performance and even branding cards specifically designed to work well with this new specification. My Pi 5 uses a 2 TB SSD which works well as a Bitcoin…
This is disappointing, as I liked Manjaro though I haven’t run it in a while because VMware Workstation is broken with 3D graphics support for newer Linux distributions. It’s just bad form to opt people into data collection or telemetry…
This is a funny study in the article at bottom. A couple researchers for a Fed bank (these are private by the way) have a paper on how Bitcoin is a threat to the government operating with perpetual deficits. Well…
I was watching the below video of a stolen Ferrari taken in a home invasion and driven from Rhode Island down to Florida, who got away from several officers. The whole video is interesting, but its queued to the part…
I was out with the mention of Flatpak, but I’m also not very interested in an immutable OS either (exception was NixOS which is interesting). By Thom Holwerda It seems the GNOME team is getting quite serious about turning…
