No crashes in the first 3 laps. Shocking.

People complained that sprints were too boring. This was many things, but not boring.

He probably wants to get there faster than driving the car.

yes, they were an advertising monster.

We've been through this before.

When Windows dropped most 32 bit support, desktop Linux had a chance just like this, but it didn't happen then either. Unless some distro becomes a perfect 1:1 replacement for Windows on all hardware, with no changes in installation procedure. (including when it's purchased) as well as: All software must run not only perfectly, but exactly the same, with everything from installation to every moment of use exactly the same, otherwise people will use Windows unpatched, or go out and buy new hardware.

In my opinion, the year of Linux on the desktop will only come when the desktop is abandoned, and it is no longer a commonly used platform.

Yes, it's bleak, but we've been down this road before. Unless a distro becomes perfect, no significant change will come.

Scoop up that hardware being discarded, install your favorite distro (because you will be supporting it) and give it away to someone to learn Linux. There will never be a mass exodus, just install, educate, and chip away 1 user at a time.

I agree. I was hoping that Google would make DoubleClick less evil, but instead, they became DoubleClick.

Not sure if you're serious, but it's a bicycle wheel.

Interesting note: Dick Van Dyke was a big Amiga user back in the day.

Your Mastodon feed will be entirely about who the people you follow are talking about, so follow different people, (or hashtags) and the conversation will change.

Remember, there is no algorithm pushing people towards you, look around, follow people, and see who they follow.

These same drivers also do not use turn signals, and don't stop for stop signs. They will not follow the rules of the road, and scream at cyclists for doing the same. Even if you do signal, a lot of drivers don't know what they mean anyway. (As stated in the article)

I've had people wave at me, as in to say hello when I'm giving hand signals.

Leave "Weird Al" alone!

Why do all the penguins have geese on them?

Not the reaction I was hoping for , I was hoping you might have better luck than me.

It's not like it's an unknown little upstart. Facebook/Meta have a track record of taking as much from users as possible, and selling it. Some hesitation in giving them more seems prudent.

Follow hashtags for things you're interested in too.

Even though I only really use it on one machine, (mnt pocket) I've contributed repeatedly to Debian. It's the bedrock upon which so much of the Linux ecosystem is built upon.

I'm trying to install it on my Nexus 7, and having a tough time. I'd like to know how you make out.

Two. Two fries is a small.

If you're the type of person that can acquire and run LTSC, aren't you exactly the kind of person that has the ability to switch to Linux?
