  • What is happening in Norway, and how do we spread it?
  • Well you see. 1905 never happened, and we are all under Sweden still. /s

  • What is happening in Norway, and how do we spread it?
  • Norwegian government loves windows, so yea, I really doubt it. (by it, I mean the government using Ubuntu thing)

    Source: I used to work for the Norwegian government

    edit: added explanation to "it", so not to be as confusing to what I refered to.

  • Linux Desktop reaches New All time high. 4.45%(+0.4) šŸ“ˆšŸ§
  • I do actually know a fair share of people using Linux in my social circle, but a lot of them uses both windows and Linux. My family uses Linux for their private devices, as that was a requirement to get my technical support. And an increasing number of my friends are moving over to Linux.

    What I find weird is the sudden increase of 10% (from 18.16% to 29.04%). Like, did everyone get back from vacation after a Linux conversion camp or something?

  • What is happening in Norway, and how do we spread it?
  • an attempt at an answer:

    more linux users = more linux software (and I know this doesn't mean better linux software)

    Or at least attention from the bigger actors e.g., Adobe, Autodesk etc. to make their industry standards available for Linux users

  • Linux Desktop reaches New All time high. 4.45%(+0.4) šŸ“ˆšŸ§
  • So in theory, one third of everyone I meet should be a linux user. Yet everyone uses windows. šŸ¤” Am I the 30%?? /sw

  • Texas doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give birth appointed to maternal mortality committee
  • Leaves me wondering if sheā€™s not a closet pedo.

    Anyone promoting or supporting child pregnancy are either a pedophile or a pedophile supporter

    edit: added "or supporting" after "promoting"

  • Ukrainian soldiers are joined by unexpected volunteers
  • Breaking news: Canadians joining Ukrainian forces

  • I have to teach my daughter different things than my son
  • The fact that there could be someone out there thinking, "I have 17 homes, so clearly they are imagining not having a home", does not shock me

    edit: grammar and my brains is a mix of spaghetti and mashed potatoes

  • Who's counting?
  • My bad, I didn't write specific enough.

    Gaza health ministry changed how they classify unidentified vs identified bodies.

    But my point was that NYT didn't do what the onion article title says they did. I am not trying to defend NYT in their ignorance when writing their title, I just wanted to know how the onion title was related?

  • Who's counting?
  • What does this prove?

    This picture doesn't prove the onion was correct.

    Besides the ones who changed their way of count was Gaza health ministry

  • Romance author gets locked out of Google Docs for ā€œinappropriateā€ content
  • And by "someone else", it normally boils down to gigantic corporations that would exploit everything about you to earn money

  • 32TB hard drives are incoming according to Toshiba
  • This is obviously just in preparation for future AAA game sizes

  • I found a worm on my USB
  • That would be a valid option, but only if there are no windows dependencies and the primary user agrees to the change.

    With all the Win11 spam in Win10, my grandmother decided to try Linux. She is now a 90-year-old Linux user. Her use case is YouTube and email, and I have to support the system (I had to do that for the win10 system as well).

  • Iron
  • This is extremely helpful, and fits perfectly into my secret plan

    Secret plan

    I will use this info as background for a BBEG in my TTRPG game

  • Removed
    Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?
  • Against my better judgement, let me ask you this.

    What makes you say they are protected in jail? Because they get to be alive?

    Have you seen how people in jail are being treated? (At least in America)

    Is it not better for them to be kept alive so they can regret their actions, rather than ending their existence? Giving them opportunity to pay for their actions with something else than their lives?

    Also, why should we not attack the underlying problem of why people commit these atrocious actions to begin with? Do you really believe they were born with the intention of committing these crimes?

    If you are willing to live with yourself after murdering another human being, you are no different from the rapists who are willing to live with themselves after damaging another human being for life. They might be evil human beings, but they are still human.

  • A cool guide to PIN code safety
  • And good ones like bitwarden or keepass, not bad ones that get hacked almost yearly like lastpass

  • I found a worm on my USB
  • Have you run a full scan using Windows Defender?

    Can you confirm that the worm is actually running?

    AV software may remove the installed worm from the system, but not from the drive.

    Probably a good idea to reformat the USB drive

    PS. if all else fails, nuke and pave (reinstall the computers in your household, including your linux machine)

    You should do this offline, as in, quarantine the situation.

  • Taking your ideas for my next linux app
  • This might help https://codeberg.org/unfa/HyperTimer

    edit: Video by the creator https://youtu.be/rmUZ_iem1xw

    it needs to be manually set, but a script to run this when you launch the app/game maybe?
