I guess I couldn't express myself. On current Lemmy I don't see downvotes of my comments or posts.
I also tried to say that this system doesn't allow brigade down voting to hide (censor) comments like Reddit.
Remember even large corporations standardising on truly open protocols can be reversed after whatever the situation leading up to it is resolved.
I just remember Jabber/XMPP federation which included Google. Once Google decided they got big enough, they abandoned it. Of course nothing happened to the protocol itself, it is well and alive both on Fortune 500 and selected as official choice for presence protocol on internet2.edu
I don't like bluesky because I don't like it's owner. I don't like the owner because he thinks everyone is dumb and forgot the fact that nobody pointed a gun on his face to sell Twitter to some Arab dictators.
A lot, just like today's Mainframe and Super computers. They are calculating complex formulas and doing gigantic batch jobs, millisecond AI fraud detection etc. A regular computer or server will throttle a lot while they are designed to be loaded 100% of times. Dave Plummer of MS recently made a video of a 40TB RAM monster.
Did you ever look at how much today's top of the line gaming rigs consume? ;-)
If you ever talk with an insurance guy or system admin, you will understand why as/400 can't be replaced that easily and most of the time people were unhappy with generic stuff replacing it.
Once while the split of IBM was on table, Microsoft was only interested in AS400 line. They used to do a lot of critical things on them. Yes, even Microsoft.
One can emulate AS400 since the entire thing including hardware and OS is a virtual platform from the start. I am not into financial/insurance/travel so I didn't investigate if IBM offers a POWER or Xeon replacement. You won't be able to explain throwing away millions of lines working code to move to some current fashion framework/language. These people make their money from 1/1000s of cents.
Link gives 404 error. Perhaps change it to archive.org or fix?
Isn't aeorogel really expensive to begin with? I mean we have tech like Ytong and they are still using bricks in buildings. Why? Ytong seems expensive to uneducated who have no clue about TCO and engineering.
Really? Let me guess, you think I am a brainwashed Israeli Jew or someone living abroad?
Ever really listened to Lennon, Imagine? Or Roger Waters work?
ANY organized religion or ANY race(!) based thinking, being manipulated by billionaires is the problem. I know both sides, nobody is good. Root for true peace.
What HAMAS did is comparable to Poland really attacking Germany.
Actually after noticing the general user profile here, I plan another exodus to some place else.
Liberal market gives end users choice. If they don't choose, they get the consequences.
This is more like people choosing Trump like types and complaining. Alternative exists, choose it.
