Yea and some of my colleagues laugh at work about âWhy I am building myself an on prem hosted private cloudâ thats why
In Germany, people are already looking forward to the electronic patient file (elektronische PatientenAkte = ePA), because itâs safe * 
What I find inaccurate is this click-bait behavior in the title and text.
If my wallet is stolen, itâs gone.
Oracel is right, the customers have not lost their data 
, it wasnât stolen, just copied 
They probably werenât encrypted either, which would be identical to stolen.

Trust only your own cloud and (manipulated) statistics

Oracle and its ilk paint their world the way they like it. As long as it is only their own data that has been lost, then they will shout: our data has been stolen!!! 
But if itâs customer data, then theyâre quick to say: No no no, your data wasnât stolen, it was just copied!!1!11!! 
But with that line of reasoning, that would also be wrong:
Itâs not gone, someone else just has it.
And btw: if everyone steals something from everyone else, nothing ever gets gone.

LibreOffice, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, is seeing a serious uptick in downloads (as first reported by Computerworld ) with Februaryâs release of version 25.2. According to the Document Foundation, LibreOffice, which runs on Linux, MacOS, and Windows, now boasts around 200 million worldwide users.
The default Fedora 43 wallpapers will be in JPEG-XL format. Switching from PNG to JPEG-XL is being done to save space while maintaining similar quality.
Great idea

This is probably due to MicroD__KS nasty habit of leaving old dead code in their OSâs. You can bet there is code thatâs supposedly dead going all the way back to Win 95. Luckily in this case it may be a good thing cause just like myself when I was running WIndBlows most peeps donât want to be forced to an always online account.

The environmental burden of the United Statesâ bitcoin mining boom
In this study, we located the 34 largest mines in the United States in 2022, identified the electricity-generating plants that responded to them, and pinpointed communities most harmed by Bitcoin mine-attributable air pollution. From mid-2022 to mid-2023, the 34 mines consumed 32.3 terawatt-hours of electricityâ33% more than Los Angelesâ85% of which came from fossil fuels.

MESA 25.0.3 is out

For those that were hypothesizing last week that the lighter-weight Xfce and LXQt desktops atop an X11 session would yield better performance than GNOME or KDE on Wayland, that wasnât the case with this round of testing. For these Ubuntu 25.04 beta benchmarks while using the Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics, the packaged KDE/GNOME Wayland sessions were delivering the best gaming performance out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 25.04 beta. Often times it was a tight race between these desktop sessions but there were no instances observed where using an X11-based session provided a measurably better experience.

Money Quote:
"But itâs not without cause or just doing it out of the kindness of his heart⌠As it turns out ultimately this regression was inadvertently introduced by the engineer. Being a good open-source developer and rather than just punting it off or waiting for someone else to fix it, he fixed his own code for the regression introduced even when it just regressed a competitorâs driver. "
Perhaps it would make more sense if the Nvidia engineers improved their own Nvidia drivers. But that would probably take too long⌠

Thats the part that made me actually laugh.
On the other hand they fixed their own mess.
