Are current laws against harassment insufficient?

The headline seems to mean 81% of generation and storage capacity. When the article talks about battery storage, it only says storage, not generation.

Yes. A perpetual license just means no fixed end date, not that it's irrevocable or interminable.

You can probably get away with continuing to use ESXi free licenses even commercially, you just won't have support. And at home, nothing is going to stop existing versions from working.

Incidentally, assuming I found the right license agreement: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/downloads/eula/universal_eula.pdf

It doesn't actually say it's perpetual. It only says "The term of this EULA begins on Delivery of the Software and continues until this EULA is terminated in accordance with this Section 9", but that section only covers termination for cause or insolvency, there is no provision for termination at VMware's discretion. So, while I'm not a lawyer, it definitely sounds like you can continue using ESXi free.

Actually, reading further, I think the applicable license is this one: https://www.vmware.com/vmware-general-terms.html

But that one has even less language about license term and termination. Although it does define "perpetual license" as "a license to the Software with a perpetual term", again not irrevocable or interminable.

That one was posted by a spambot, which a lot of people have blocked.

I missed the word "server" every time and thought it was a client, and spent far too long trying to figure out how you'd play Minecraft in Bash. Text based? ASCII graphics?

Increase account creation restrictions (you are here)

I've been using Alma for a while and been happy with it. Like RHEL types, it's slightly behind on versioning, but that's by design.

No, but it's a hell of a lot easier to put huge language datasets into the machine learning blender and get a model out, instead of manually programming every conceivable linguistic construction.

Yes, and that's a good thing if you don't want it to start killing processes. You have that extra time/space to deal with the out-of-memory condition yourself.

Or you can ignore that condition and continue using the system in a degraded state, with swap as "disk RAM".

No, but Windows is so entrenched that they don't need to actually be competitive in order to keep making profit. Instead, the Windows team has to invent things nobody ever wanted or needed that they can advertise to make it look like they're still useful. Software UX polish-passes don't make good marketing. You can't seriously put "you know that one weird thing that only happened to a fraction of users sporadically? we fixed it" on a marketing campaign.

Nobody. And it's not like Red Hat runs the X.Org Foundation, either, at most they have one seat on the board. Development will continue.

it'd be real cool if the mods of the biggest community on lemmy.world would actually do some moderating
