The more people hop onto Linux the faster and better funded support for Linux development becomes. If you’re a single player gamer or play Valve multiplayer games primarily, make the jump to Linux. Get on Mint, get on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc and get off Microsoft’s shitboat. You already took off from Reddit. Wean off all these other money/data leeches

No country, no non-American company should capitulate to American demands currently. Let dementia Donald and friends flail for a bunch of hollow victories and have their obituaries become holidays

People should get it in their mind to never buy Tesla vehicles for the rest of their lives

Trump tariffs and he can’t afford more shit held against him. Bytedance is going to come out of this doing well

I’d consider it. If they host things outside of the US/start moving operations overseas, it’d be a lot more interesting. I sub to Proton for email, VPN, and drive support. Still hoping someday for proper Linux drive support so Mozilla/Thunderbird can target that

That’s a clown makeup moment for Zorin OS

Pretty much. Everyone else will be able to trade with the east and southeast Asian countries business as usual. Maybe even more now that the US is making themselves less price competitive. The bad thing for the EU could be the drop in sales to the US not being replaced fast enough outside of the US leading to squeezing existing customers for more cash or possibly some businesses failing

How are they even coming up with the number all these countries supposedly tariff the US?

Don’t buy American. Make America lose the trade war and crawl away from these tariffs

All these weirdo billionaires building bunkers

Realistically, I would probably try a google free Android long before I’d try a more pure linux phone

Eventually I’ll try one. I feel like it can be like desktop Linux where it take a very many many long years until it starts to chip away at single digit values of market share

I’d pay for native linux support. They should provide direct support to Heroic if they don’t want to take on the cost themselves full bore. I remember some AMA they did where the cost of Linux wasn’t worth their already thin margins and they were happy with Heroic. If they were ever going to grow, I’d believe that they would need to address the handheld market and getting their storefront more visible

I’d be more than happy with 1GB/s drives for storage. I’d be happy with SATA3 SSD speeds. I’d be happy if they were still sized like a 2.5" drive. USB4 ports go up to 80Gb/s. I’d be happy with an external drive bay with each slot doing 1 GB/s

I’m sure there are data science/center people that can appreciate this. For me all I’m thinking is how hot it runs and how much I wish soon 20TB SSDs would be priced like HDDs

It is sad in states with poor public health the condition you see people’s teeth. There’s always those that can afford dental care. Poor people can practice good habits but being able to see a dentist for a regular checkup/cleaning gives chance to be pestered to brush well, floss, etc. Utah teeth will look on average worse in the following decade

Android TV at least you can do simple custom launchers. I’m still hoping a more normal Linux becomes popular for TV. Hoping maybe SteamOS will be the pathway for that

Signal has been with me for a decade. Have had Matrix/Element installed for years but no one i know uses it

I’m not expert in sed or awk. I always have to Google. For me though, it’s generally that you can do a great deal in just one line of awk or sed. They’re standard on any Linux distribution I’ve ever used. When building out pipelines, scripts that you want run from an installer you built post install and when removing, sed and awk rather than needing python.

All really nice when you have strict configuration management and versioning and there’s something deployed but it doesn’t have the python packages installed that would make it easy in python and you can’t just pip install it on hundreds+ of computers without going through a process of approval and building a new tagged version release but sed/awk/etc can do the job. If it’s hard enough, python and whatever packages you can install. If simple enough to do in a small bash script, no python just what’s standard in your Linux distro

It’ll fall won’t be as dramatic as Digg but it will decline over time. Probably not have a major exodus event like Musk buying Twitter and renaming it and sending people to try BlueSky and Mastodon
