Kubernetes overlords decide Ingress NGINX isn’t worth saving

Use Gateway API. It's supported still

Guide for the perplexed – Google is no longer the best search engine

Re: This was predicted - in El Reg - years ago.

I wondered when I saw Google but Doubleclick if that wasn't going to happen. That was over 20 years ago now and I think it's safe to say you're exactly right.

What if Chrome broke features of the web and Google forgot to tell anyone? Oh wait, that's exactly what happened

Re: Don't hyperventilate

I couldn't have it it better myself.

And like I said in another comment, people writing their first tentative lines of HTML aren't using iframes to load pages that have alert popups, ergo professional developers should test their code against Canary releases as well as stable releases.

"The idea that there might be someone sitting right now writing their first tentative lines of HTML so that they can launch a webpage dedicated to ostriches is not even considered."

That's probably true. But, then again those people also don't use features that are likely to be broken by Google so this point is completely moot! Developers who are likely to be writing code that could be broken by changes Google proposes absolutely should test their code against Canary releases of browsers. That is the ENTIRE point of Canary releases!

Out of Steam? Wine draining away? Ubuntu's 64-bit-only x86 decision is causing migraines

Re: This has been the case on EPEL for years

Not only that but Fedora is dropping support for 32 bit libraries in the next release.

I believe that the reason distros are going this route is to facilitate allowing the Linux kernel to eventually (5+years from now) drop support for i686 the same way they dropped support for i386 a couple of years ago.
