Microsoft developer reveals Linux is now more used on Azure than Windows Server | ZDNet

https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-developer-reveals-linux-is-now-more-used-on-azure-than-windows-server/

While I was busy hating Microsoft, Microsoft changed. I guess I have to switch my ire to people who only look favorably on a thing if Microsoft endorsees it, but… ah, well, the world is full of that type.

I wonder what I can get done with WSL 2?

[Edit: BTW, pricing for Linux instances in Azure is about half that of Windows instances, so… duh.]

An Excerpt From E. Jean Carroll’s ‘What Do We Need Men For?’

Oof.

«And that was my last hideous man. The Donna Karan coatdress still hangs on the back of my closet door, unworn and unlaundered since that evening. And whether it’s my age, the fact that I haven’t met anyone fascinating enough over the past couple of decades to feel “the sap rising,” as Tom Wolfe put it, or if it’s the blot of the real-estate tycoon, I can’t say. But I have never had sex with anybody ever again.

Huh.

«United Methodism owns an incredible amount of real estate, hospitals, academic institutions, churches, offices, conference centers, retreats, camps, nonprofit and for-profit entities, and the incredible controlled wealth of the United Methodist Foundations. Not to mention WesPath. By purging progressives and moderates, they will lose some churches and conference centers and perhaps entire Annual Conferences, but they will retain ownership of all of the rest.

«the hardline goal of the WCA—progressive expulsion and control/liquidation of UMC assets—will no longer be in reach.»

[Keanu Reeves voice] Whoa….

Is this really a fight over money?
