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:

* <https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux>

or more specifically, the releases

* <https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux/releases>

Even if there is features that are similar, most of gitlabs features are for paying customers only.

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.

New comment by xaerise in "Firefox Has Moved to Firefox.com"

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.

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).

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.

Try to use moby instead since that is the engine in Docker.
