    > IBM's server operating systems, however, depend on code that IBM stole from Xinuos and, until that theft, IBM's products were becoming less attractive and were losing market share.

    I suppose it should be possible to dig up market share analyses that would show exactly when this turning point had to have happened.

    But being that #Xinuos is burdened with products tainted by the legacy of #The_SCO_Group's lawsuits, one would expect that their market share has been in decline since before the original The SCO Group v. IBM lawsuit started ... if TSG had been making profits and continuing to grow, there would have been no need to cry to the courts.

    (It seems likely that companies that could escape from a litigious vendor would do so.)

    Xinuos v IBM & Red Hat lawsuit (document filed 2021-03-31) https://regmedia.co.uk/2021/03/31/xinuos_complaint.pdf

    > On top of all this, IBM has materially misled its investors, falsely representing in its securities filings that a third-party owns all of the Unix and UnixWare copyrights, and that this third-party has waived any infringement claim against IBM. IBM mischaracterizes in its securities filings a prior court ruling that found old Unix and UnixWare code, created before September 19, 1995, belonged to the third-party. IBM’s filings make it sound like the third-party was found to own all Unix and UnixWare code. These statements are demonstrably false. In fact, with regard to Xinuos’ code created after September 19, 1995, and which IBM stole, Xinuos owns that code, has never entered into a license agreement with IBM, and has never waived its infringement claims against IBM for stealing that code.

    I saw a rumor that the case is ending, but I have not been able to verify it.

    I'm wondering whether the end goal of the people behind #Xinuos is to get #IBM to purchase their company, since they're obviously not able to maintain and market their "OpenServer 10" and "OpenServer X" products.

    Xinuos' site was at https://www.xinuos.com/ but it is currently down.

    Federal government proposes to increase its pay scale for tech workers. https://nu.federati.net/url/289781 [federalnewsnetwork com]

    This is needed, but if they do this, some people will make more than their bosses and they will still pay below the outside world.

    Also, generally, when there's an opening, it is in the national capital region (DC and nearby), and a lot of people are not interested in moving there.

    I ordered some french fries and some salad. As usual, I ate the fries first. Now I have no appetite left over for the salad.

    That said, I'm sure that #TrueNAS compares *very* favorably with #Synology's software and probably with #QNap's software also.

    I didn't realize that #FreeNAS is now TrueNAS Core, while #TrueNAS is now TrueNAS Enterprise. They also now have a #Linux based "TrueNAS Scale" product ... back when I listened to #BSD_Now, #IX_Systems (the company behind the above) was solidly in #BSD land.

    #TIL via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueNAS and https://truenas.com/

    My perception is that once there's $SOFTWARE Community Edition and $SOFTWARE Enterprise Edition, the sponsoring company will usually gradually suffocate the CE version in order to push users into buying licenses for the EE version. I'm not saying this is happening here, but if I were building a #NAS box, I'd keep that in mind when deciding what software stack to run on it.

      ST. LOUIS (AP) — A 21-year-old Missouri man whose grandmother is the star of a St. Louis-based TV show is dead after being shot by an unknown person. St. Louis police say they found Andre Montgomery dead at a home Monday night. A second man was taken to a hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds.

    Speaking of #tornadoes, I'm watching the Weather Channel in the lunch room and they are talking about severe #t-storms and possible tornadoes in #TX, #OK, #AR, #MS, #AL, #TN, #KY. These are fast movong storms, so there is no time for waiting until a storm is confirmed.

    There are a number of weird right wing platforms (I'd guess most are pay-for-use) and at least one weird left wing platform that are also receiving relatively large numbers of Twitter refugees. It isn't just the #Fediverse.
