Read the article. MS have shipped 1.0-3.0 earlier...

"Azure Linux 4.0 is derived from Fedora, right now a Fedora 43 snapshot, rather than assembled package by package the way 1.0 through 3.0 were."

And if you are still unsure. Checkout the repo:

or more specifically, the releases

If you only knew how much SQLite is used...

* Apple Mail ( "~/Library/Mail/V5/MailData/Envelope Index" )

* Legacy database in Android

* Firefox, Thunderbird

* Google Chrome, Edge

It is quick, simple, reliable and have enough performance for it's use case. Instead of using text files or develop own database formats.

This is busybox, not the general linux distros.

busybox in Alpine Linux has for example `ps` builtin. If you install ps with `apk add ps` to get the full version, it will remove the symlink for /bin/ps and replace it with the one you installed.

You need to read up on the purpose of busybox. It is not something that the kernel people has decided upon. It is an initiative of an group of people who needed some tools onto a single floppy.

/bin/ps on a Debian distro is 154522 bytes. The whole busybox in Alpine Linux is 804616 bytes and contains a whole lot more than just ps.

Still, the menu item is not interacting with AI without you explicit configuring it.

I bet if you click it without any configuration will give you an error message.

Re:Firefox Has Moved to Firefox.com on Wednesday August 27, 2025 @03:33PM (#45044026)
It was owned by a UK company called Firefox. They actually linked to both Mozilla and Get Firefox for many years as a landing page.

When the company shut down, the owner owned it and redirected it to getfirefox.com instead of making a profit from it.

Re:Getting Forked by Microsoft on Monday April 21, 2025 @08:14AM (#43751055)
To provide changes upstream, the maintainer must accept the change. Most opensource licenses are that you are required to publish your changes. But not upstream. As you wrote, there is no license that forces any "pull requests".

The MIT license is the "easiest" license because there are no responsibility for the maintainer..

Aren't you confusing LLM with LLVM? Missing that V.

LLVM is not affiliated with LLM in any way. LLVM existed long before LLM.

Most common are that multiple gambling sites are own by one company. So if the company sponsors, you can put multiple brands on (and for SEO purposes).
Re:Please stop – putting cookie pop-ups on your website (2022) on Wednesday September 18, 2024 @02:17AM (#41576381)
That is not really GDPR. That is the ePrivacy ( ie. The Cookie Law from 2009 ) directive that supplements but sometimes overrules GDPR.

This comment is stupid... It is like blaming the car manufacturer for killing people by making cars go fast. Just because you can do it, is not the same as you should do it.

I would blame Hisense for makin crap...

Hit the advertiser where it hurts, click on them.

The advertiser needs to pay for every impression of the ad and on every click. Let's say $0.01 for every 1000 view and $0.1 for every click/conversion.

Don't open the RAR file ofc..

Facebook doesn't favoring AI. Instead, money money money....

Even ads with obvious porn ( Breasts, genitals and intercourse etc. ) on the picture gets through the filter so its pretty clear that money talks.

Re:Asbestos in drinking water: An overlooked health risk? on Thursday January 25, 2024 @03:56AM (#39127582)
Isn't asbestos safe until it breaks. But what happens in water leaks?

Is there anyone that is using asbestos in new developments or is it phased out and just "laying there"?

They actually tried with crowdfunding, but it didn't go well. Mostly because German laws and other things.
It have supported CarPlay and Android Auto for years ( i have used it in both since 2018 ). And you can still report cops on the road IF the country allows it.
Re:The push to save the Itanium architecture in Linux on Thursday November 16, 2023 @06:50AM (#38288416)
Not many.

At my previous company they had two servers with dual Itanium CPUs. One CPU failed and they bought a spare used one from Germany.

We were informed that there was about 10 CPUs left for spare in the world by our provider.

The company decommisioned the servers in 2019 so now there are probably four more :p

But since it is a failed architecure, there can't be that many production systems ( < 1000 )

With that logic, Why not count BSD as one? Linux is the kernel, but Debian has Gnu/HURD also.

Linux in that list is flavour, but that is also the same with BSD. BSD is the flavour and Free, Net, Open all come from BSD 4.3. And if we really want to push it, it also includes MacOS 10.

Re:Curl on 100 Operating Systems on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @04:38AM (#38274915)
You can't take a binary running in Alpine and run it in Debian. Even if it is statically linked.

But you can ( with some effort ) make it run in ChromeOS.

Re:Curl on 100 Operating Systems on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @03:46AM (#38274611)
It is not correct. He is counting ChromeOS as its own but in fact ChromeOS is Linux. Then he should count RHEL, Ubuntu, Lubuntu and so on also.
Interesting that Google is keeping their mouth shut....

I think someone is getting a lawsuit and another one is getting a box for their stuff...

I don't get it... If you have a good reason to use 2 TB, i'm happy to allocate it for you.

If you just "I want 20 GB of storage", i'm not going to give it to you.

Storage is cheap in relation to other things. Just have a good reason to why you need it.

it is every business mission and goal to deliver value to its owners.
