Open source fights back: 'We won't get patent-trolled again' Businesses using open-source projects like Kubernetes are being targeted more often by patent trolls. Now the open source community is launching a counter-offensive and looking for volunteers.

Patent trolls are attacking Kubernetes, and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation wants you to join the open-source herd for the counter-attack.

Nice. I use it as a simple whiteboard, but those are nice features.

I already have most things in digital wallets, including event tickets. SCDMV is the only thing keeping my driver's license from being in one. But, not all digital wallets (e.g., the one holding my passport info) interoperate.

What do you think about digital wallets?

It's 2030, and digital wallets have replaced every card in our purses and pockets OpenWallet, now joined by Microsoft, looks to the near future when digital wallets replace traditional wallets in the same way debit cards replaced checkbooks.

Typo. Meant 5.4. Regardless, my point is that the new 2 year kernel LTS is a mismatch for the LTS length of distros, which will force them into multiple major kernel updates over the life of their LTS release.

Mind you, I tend to view that as a not bad thing.

Typo

I don't see AMD or NVIDIA.

They should offer domain names as well.

"Long-term support (LTS) for Linux kernels is being reduced from six to two years."

Will be interesting to see the downstream impact. For example, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is running 5.04, which would no longer be supported under the new policy. They'd have to have moved to 5.15+.

Long-term support for Linux kernel to be cut as maintainence remains under strain The Open Source Summit provides an update on what's new in the Linux kernel​ and where it's going from here.
