Quite convinced the "dead Internet theory" is real.

X is a million subtle variations of the same right-wing message, while Threads is the exact same thing but for the left.

Increasingly feels like Bluesky and Mastodon are the only places with at least some actual humans left.

Red Hat unifies AI and tactical edge deployment for UK MOD The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) has selected Red Hat to architect a unified AI and hybrid cloud backbone across its entire estate.

By standardising on Red Hat’s infrastructure, the MOD aims to decouple its AI capabilities from underlying hardware, allowing algorithms to be developed once and deployed anywhere. #redhat #govtech #uk #europe #defense #military #cloud #edge #ai #technology

Developers adopt high-performance Java to support production AI Java developers are simultaneously abandoning Oracle’s distribution to cut costs while expanding their use of the language to support production-grade AI.

The 2026 State of Java report identifies a defensive transition away from unpredictable licensing fees alongside an offensive move to operationalise AI workloads. #java #developers #ai #technology

WBA: Why connectivity strategies for smart MDUs matter According to the WBA, connectivity strategies for smart MDUs now favour fully-managed models to mitigate interference and security risks.

The current state of many multi-dwelling units (MDUs) is described as a “complex mishmash of technologies at odds with each other.” #wba #iot #telecoms #lorawan #wifi #matter #smartbuildings #technology

Google: Hiring, devices, and supply chains are under attack Google threat intelligence data finds state-sponsored groups are bypassing perimeter security by targeting recruitment and unmanaged devices.

The convergence of these threats requires a defensive strategy that encompasses personnel, supply chains, and unmanaged infrastructure. #ciso #infosec #cybersecurity #technology

Agile Manifesto at 25: How it reshaped software delivery 25 years after the Agile Manifesto codified the habits of high-performing teams, the methodology remains the bedrock of software engineering.

“The Agile Manifesto helped move the industry away from rigid waterfall models with long planning phases and infrequent releases toward a more sustainable approach to driving innovation.” #agile #developers #softwaredelivery #devops #technology

Samsung: Turning legacy infrastructure into AI-ready networks Samsung explains how operators can build AI-ready networks on existing software infrastructure to minimise hardware costs.

“The evolution from 5G to 5G-Advanced and 6G hinges on three interconnected pillars: virtualisation for flexible networks, AI integration across all network layers, and automation towards autonomous networks.” #samsung #ai #telecoms #cloud #5g #vran #6g #technology

Ericsson, FET, and OPPO validate performance-based 5G slicing Ericsson, FET (Far EasTone), and OPPO have confirmed that 5G SA network slicing can now support performance-based connectivity models.
