IBM went all in on scaleout Power replacing Intel (especially for LINUX), and it’s been a disaster as the ISV’s said “no thank you and embraced Intel solutions instead” Scale out margins run at 1/3 of what enterprise margins run at, and this isn’t sustainable, when you consider IBM’s high cost ove | Oct 26 03:43 |

| schestowitz | rhead. The CFO’s mention on the 3rd q call of a redhat/Dell Linux partnership only reinforces how IBM is viewing scaleout HW. It doesn’t fit into the “enterprise only” go forward strategy, and we have seen how IBM deals with products that don’t fit (Palo Alto). Yep they sell them off and partner with them instead." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1v8hfcIe | Oct 26 03:43 |

| schestowitz | I can't understand people who are championing AI. Don't you realize that you're basically cheering on the very thing that will most likely be responsible for the elimination of your job?

| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Oct 26 10:34 |
| schestowitz | <p>For me, the Plasma desktop is the best work environment out there, hands down. But it ain't without its faults and unfortunate (and unfortunately avoidable) regressions. The release of the brand new, mega-major 6.X version was quite tumultuous. Rife with bugs. I tested it no less than three times, on three different systems, and every single time, there were lots of issues and problems. | Oct 26 10:34 |
| schestowitz | Some of these are semi-understandable, after all, the KDE team is adopting the brand new Qt6 framework. But others are just ... unnecessary. </p> | Oct 26 10:34 |
| schestowitz | <p> Well, now, version 6.2 is out, and I was happy, even eager to test it. After all, I love it, and I want it to succeed. That said, I still believe that major version releases aren't an excuse for "delayed" QA, whereby software gains maturity a year or two after the official go-live date, and all of the testing is done live, with real human users. Nope. Alas, this seems to be the modern | Oct 26 10:34 |
| schestowitz | trend, whatever fast, iterative software development means these days, and it affects the KDE world, too. Well, Plasma 6.0 was meh. Plasma 6.1 was a bit better. Let's see what 6.2 can do for us. </p> | Oct 26 10:34 |

| schestowitz | ">It's a bit of a general statement I appreciate, but this seems to be a particularly good example of where IP seems to be developing in nonsensical ways.

OK, you can get away with it for a while, but inappropriate results of the law undermines the law. <br /><br />Fair enough, in this case the finding could be argued to be the correct finding to preserve common sense. But there is still the issue that this case was able to reach trial, appar | Oct 26 14:22 |
| schestowitz | ently because the relevant morality (fair protection of the results of artistic effort) was so insufficiently encoded in the law; and we still have the nonsense about the written disclaimer.<br /><br />Why does some random artistic work benefit from 100 years of broad and undefinable protection? Is it because the people consider that proper, or because of corruption and lobbying by rights owners and managers. Why can trade mark rights | Oct 26 14:22 |
| schestowitz | be used to frustrate a consumer repairing their vehicle (see other IPKat article)? Would the people consider these results to be moral and appropriate to further the needs of society?<br /><br />Patent law on the other hand seems to strike a fairly good balance of encouraging innovation and protecting effort. It seems likely that the people on the whole would consider it reasonable to provide a reasonably short period of protection for | Oct 26 14:22 |
