  #IBM #SCO #Linux #lawsuit What the fuck kind of drugs are the Xinuos execs on? There's a detailed case record here that gives them absolutely no chance of winning and a high chance of having Cravath, Swaine and Moore literally out for blood. The settlement was supposed to make sure that dead horse stayed dead and buried. This time around IBM and CSM may decide to glass the gravesite just to make sure. https://www.theregister.com/os-platforms/2026/07/06/zombie-who-owns-unix-lawsuit-come...

  @aral@mastodon.ar.al This is breaking down, though. The last decade I've noticed developers are less and less interested in understanding their code and working on it. They want to just get something that passes tests and move on to the next thing, and if it breaks in production they'll put that in the queue to fix.
