We have been seeing in ProtonDB data that Ubuntu has been progressively losing steam (and market share) amongst gamers, what do you think of this observed trend? Rings true or not?
@boilingsteam the past (no shit) 12 laptops in the last 15 years i've acquired all came from e-recyclers. they all still work (though i've either given them away, or don't use them), and all run Linux.
buying a "new laptop" (that isn't a Framework Laptop) doesn't compute. There are plenty of laptops with decades (plural) of life left in them, just avoid Windows and MacOS, and you've got a good tool available to use for many years!
Mine are gen 4 to gen 8 intel laptops, to be specific.
@mousey while its true that old laptops can last for a long time, modern cpus bring a huge performance boost. we are talking about 10x in the space of 10 years
Each carbon molecule carries 25 trillion electronvolts of energy. Which is comparable to particles in the beam of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC, in Switzerland).
Under these conditions, all of this will hit the Earth with roughly the kinetic energy of the moon moving in orbit.
Mich pers. gefällt diese News, auch wenn die anhand ihrem Umfang keine grosse Rolle (noch) erhält. In Firmen sind Linux Server üblich aber auf deren Desktop meistens Windows. Wann oder wie lange noch, kommt es zum Linux Durchbruch? ;)
»Linux erreicht neue Rekordverbreitung am Desktop:
Nach dem Durchbrechen der Vier-Prozent-Schallmauer im Vormonat gibt es nun ein weiteres Plus, wenn auch nur ein kleines. Der Trend ist aber klar«
Nein, es ist nicht gut, wenn sich Linux so verbreitet. Das erhöht den Angriffsvektor. Für Hacker lohnt es sich dann, sich mehr um Linux Desktops zu kümmern🤔😉

@BlumeEvolution Die Frage ist wer das will? Also wenn es nach mir ginge, ich will und brauche keine Federation mit threads, bluesky & Co. Den das sind alles kommerzielle closed source Drecksplattformen von Datenkraken. Und von wegen Datensilos. Wer braucht die genau? Ich muss inzwischen Accounts hier im Fediverse entfolgen, da es einfach zu viel wird.
Today, a young American woman between the ages of 25 and 34 face higher mortality rates than at any other point in more than 50 years. And had the mortality rate remained flat between 2000 and 2021, nearly 40,000 young women would not have died.

Yep. I made the team triple check the data before we published anything. But it's true.
Part of the story is pandemic deaths, but a lot is rising rates of suicide, homicide, pregnancy-related mortality--and a whole bunch of other things that were going in the wrong direction before 2020.
A #gadgeteer is also the naive or careless person who wears these #gadgets and is either oblivious of the detrimental externalities of the tech to society, or criminally negligent of those (usually #trend-following hipsters).
