  #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...

  Blech. OI Shopping List was one of the best shopping-list apps I've seen. Simple, effective, no ads or accounts or cloud required. Stable, no releases since 2020 and I haven't had any problems with it that would require fixing. And it's no longer in existence. The source code is there on Github, but the app doesn't exist in the Play Store. Time to research. https://www.openintents.org/shoppinglist/

  @socketwench WTF are you doing specifying fonts on a Web site? Yes, yes, I know, marketing insists on having the site appear _just so_. Fact remains, Web sites are NOT print publications. The world would be much improved if Marketing understood that and unclenched their branding sphincters a bit.

  @navi If you want some levity, Derek Lowe has some stories in his collection "Things I Won't Work With". I find his delivery far more amusing than I should. https://www.science.org/topic/blog-category/things-i-wont-work-with
