The new release is the first planned appearance of Oracle's long-term support (LTS) releases. "You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten. Where can you go from there?"

After a few months of testing, Mozilla has launched its free Firefox Monitor service that notifies users when their credentials are stolen as part of a data breach. Here's my shorter version: Yup

AI researchers have always been super thrilled about building Artificial Intelligence bots that can play games as smartly as a human. But who will stand for the Zerg?

The idea is that a company pays a subscription fee to Tidelift, which takes a cut and then distributes the remainder to open source projects that the subscriber uses. Code and chill

Most of the internet could be affected as some Linux devs threaten to rescind code in response to CoC controversy. No code with Code of Conduct

How would that work, exactly, with already-running servers and such? (I can't get to that site)
Because if your system depends on some off-site code to run, you're wrong.

I read the whole of the Code of Conduct and would encourage others to do so before commenting as it is quite short.
In my opinion the Code of Conduct is perfectly reasonable (basically don't be nasty to other people) - how it is used is another matter which is perhaps what is of concern to people.

Yes the how it's used is what most of the outrage is over.
If other communities who've adopted a similar code of conduct are anything to go by social activists will trawl through everyone's social media history and start witch hunting anyone who's ever made a joke about forking repositories.
There's already a few people talking about Ted Tso's controversial opinions (not actions) on certain topics unrelated to the Linux Kernel. Probably more, I haven't been paying close attention.

I might start a Soapbox post on this because I think it's an interesting area for discussion.

The whole thing reads like elementary school children telling the teacher on each other for not playing nice and the teacher threatening to take away their toys. This whole social justice thing has gotten way out of hand and I'm wondering where all of the adults went.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

trawling through his social media? dude was ranting about rape stats on a linux mailing list, not on some obscure blog that people had to search for.
here's a simple rule i use, one that's kept me away from a lot of trouble: don't talk about things like rape in professional forums.

Applications using Azure Active Directory (AD) to authenticate—a category that includes Office 365, among other things—will soon be able to stop using passwords entirely. It just looks you up on HaveIBeenPwned.com and fills in the results?

Microsoft is working on a new enterprise-focused skills kit for Cortana, based on its Bot Framework, which can be used to build skills and agents for business use. It looks like they want you to write an app. Do you want to help with that?

If it involves Cortana - hell no!

“We built Microsoft Learn so that you could have one stop for self-paced, guided learning on all of our platform products and services,” wrote Jeff Sandquist, General Manager, Developer Relations for Cloud + AI Division. At launch, the new website features more than 80 hours of learning content for Microsoft products such as Azure, Dynamics and PowerBI, and there’s also everything you need to prepare for certifications exams. All the content is completely free, which is really nice. Until they create the new "one-stop-destination" for all their training

The update is designed for businesses and consumers that haven’t opted into Microsoft’s Office 365 service with monthly feature updates. Now with all those great new features like ... uhm... and uhhh...
Yup, still with the ribbon. You're not getting rid of that anytime soon.
