TIL Linus is Woke. I use Linux BTW 🐧

social.kernel.org/notice/AWSXo...
Screenshot of Linus Torvalds post on social.kernel.org reading: @morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me. Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order. I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you? I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with. And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

I joined Cloudflare to build this. It’s still very early, and there’s lots still missing, but I hope the vision is clear.

#OpenTelemetry has approved the new special interest group for Service and Deployment Semantic Conventions!

Let's face it: we all have some sort of deployment env attribute. is it 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚍𝚞𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗? 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚍? is it even the same attribute across your org? and across the different cloud providers you use?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
