Elon's Folly
  • Happy cake day

  • Imagine.
  • gross

  • Linux only has 0.3% market share in Antarctica unfortunately
  • what those penguins doin n osx

  • Linux reaches 5.25% in Germany
  • I think most people here dont even use PCs, smartphones are used a lot more than that. And those who use PCs, a majority of them use old hardware forcing them to find alternative operating system (I have experienced this personally and has installed mint on PCs of 6-7 peoples like that). I think old hardware is what pushing them to use linux. Moreover, most geeks use either mac or linux until forced by the company to use windows. Its definitely not a regional thing, as far as reputation is concerned, for normal people its just like windows like people who want to edit files, pp presentations, excel sheets, etc all of it is same as windows due to awesome tools like libreoffice. What else people need mostly? linux GUI has evolved enough to help them for all "normal" use cases, otherwise internet is always there. I think it will continue to grow as a result of recent microsoft F ups and as people become aware.

  • Linux reaches 5.25% in Germany
  • Yea (atleast we lead in something positive now)

  • Linux reaches 5.25% in Germany
  • 15% here

  • Telegram changes its tone on moderating private chats after CEO’s arrest
    www.theverge.com Telegram changes its tone on moderating private chats after CEO’s arrest

    Pavel Durov said this week that the company would moderate content.

    Telegram changes its tone on moderating private chats after CEO’s arrest

    They have clarified the situation: "You could always report messages from any group to moderators, acts like forwarding. Private chats are still private too – although you could always report a new incoming chat to moderators by using Block > Report. Anyone can check our code and see there were no changes. The FAQ change made it clearer how to report things, including via DSA."

    On the same day
  • Blame all of it on left, they fucked up badly

  • Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.
  • Mastodon's original app is just trash Threads are completely unreadable, it should be like that of X

  • Any good Telegram alternative?
  • Ok conspiracy theorist signal fan

  • Any good Telegram alternative?
  • And the post is about telegram alternative?

  • height rule
  • Should've been me (I am 6+)

  • Any good Telegram alternative?
  • Signal can't do shit Canit sync messages b/w devices seamlessly? Doe it have unlimited storage? Channels? Isn't upload size limit 100mb? Telegram has 4gb. Advance Bots? Good Ui/Ux? High quality stickers? Big public groups? Mini apps? Lol, signal is NOT an alternative to telegram as a whole, it can only partly replace its messaging functionality

  • Any good Telegram alternative?
  • None Signal is shit

    The new Pokémon series is actually great

    Hi there, I was bored so decided to watch the new Pokémon horizons series featuring new protagonist Liko. I was surprised how good this was, the concept of adventuring without gyms, not too many Pokémon but getting good with few, the characters, the storyline, no annoying team rocket, an even cooler Pikachu (sorry to hurt OG Pikachu fans). Definitely will recommend a watch, I am currently at 40th episode, and it just keeps getting better, the characters are amazing, and the bad guys are really cool too, slightly more competitive than team rocket (expecting them to put even greater fight).

    Why is there no excitement of elections?

    The voter turnout dropped heavily in the first phase when compared to previous elections. What is exactly happening? Are people losing faith in democracy? Or they are getting lazy thinking "aayega to modi hi"? Whatever it is, it's dangerous for democracy and must be fixed.

    What would happen to my gnome environment if I switch to hyprland?

    So Ive been using nixos with gnome for almost a year now and things have been pretty smooth, it's just amazing, I never looked back since I started using it. So to make things more interesting and learn stuff I am trying to install hyprland, Ive no idea what window manager, compositor etc are, I have few questions Will installing hyprland delete gnome? Is hyprland not a desktop environment but something else? If yes, then how does it differ from one and what are its pros/cons? Would you suggest a clean installation to reduce bloating, or install on an existing system?
