Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Computer scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have managed to compromise multiple artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Bard and Microsoft Bing Chat, to produce content that breaches their developers' guidelines—an outcome known as "jailbreaking." Oh great - get them all plotting together now

So MS is depreciating VBScript. I wonder if they have a replacement for that abomination called PowerShell.

Powershell was the replacement for VBScript!

Yep. Yet PowerShell's syntax is so poor that it's frequently still easier to do file system work in VBScript. There was no reason Microsoft didn't create a C# scripting language.

Maybe try Nushell. It's fast approaching 1.0. I've only played with it briefly, mind you - about three years ago.

I took a quick look at their report. Not sure why they allow Red Hat to even be a member given that IBM/Red Hat has closed the source code to current and future versions of Red Hat Linux.

Free as in freedom, or free as in beer?

The 'free speech' (or 'freedom') alternative is of minimal importance to the great majority of Linux users. The free beer is what counts. For the fifteen year old wannabe-coding-wizard it is obvious, but it goes for commercial software houses as well: Linux and Linux based tools is a way to reduce expenses, compared to the alternatives.
The 'as in free speech' alternative is essentially for ideological speeches made by the top heads in the FOSS movement. If the common user refers to it at all, it is mostly because he is a little ashamed of making use of the efforts of others without paying anything back, so he needs an 'idealistic' argument to feel a little better about it. Usually, it is rather difficult to have any decent explanation of the 'ideology' that goes beyond 'I can modify the OS kernel if I want to'. Well, that would (hopefully) be a joke, but even for the the beer floating around the OS kernel and further out, those who actually even consider modifying that software are few and far between.
I gladly admit that if I come to a party where the beer is free, I certainly drink it. Then I am talking about the real stuff.
