doesn’t Steam Hardware Survey report way higher percentage of Linux users?

(Statista, Blackdown)

wouldn’t Valve’s numbers be more reliable?

Funny how people tend to quote Linus Torvalds on technical issues in order to prove a point. I hear the guy barely made it through college.

Actually, I lied about even that. I was thrown out of fourth grade because I couldn’t write my own name, and it’s been all downhill from there. I had to lie about getting into college just so that I’d have better chances of making a career here at McDonalds - if you have a college degree (or you lied about having one), they don’t make you scrape the burger pans.

heh, he had good sense of humour already back in 1999

Other comments already pointed to some very good software solutions.
But I would argue that absolutely the biggest barrier to entry for the masses is hardware.
Restoring an old PC or making some cable spaghetti with some SBC is currently too advanced for average person.
Self-hosting for the masses would require some new form of home servers.
Something modular, where adding new components would be as easy as playing with Lego bricks.

Problem is that the whole concept of advertising is “telling other people what to do”.

• People use Google.
• Google tells people to use Chrome
• Chrome becomes most popular browser
• Chrome removes the " this site has RSS" icon from URL bar
• People forget that RSS is a thing
• People now rely on Google News and other biased sites to get information
• biased sites tell people what to do

RSS is freedom
go tell other people to use it
also Lemmy RSS community

Your post is missing the most important information that you wanted to share

I wonder how angry will the maintainers be in 2036:

aaaa, why do we have to support this ancient release, why did we promise 12 years of support

Listen, strange penguins biting people is no basis for a system of government.

Is there any collection of such inspirational / wisdom quotes?
If not, then one should be started.
And this quote should be added to it.

I expected the classic “be the change that you wabt to see in the world”, but despite being similar, this one is very good as well.

sup dawg, head you like announcements, so we announced our announcement in our latest announcement

ZP ran for a very long time. At this point I am not even mad that it ends.
someone go check what are some longest running web series and where does ZP stand on that list

I am aware of those two, but those are just for file storage. I was thinking something more general. Like having a Virtual Private Server, that people can extend with their donated resources. VPS can be used for more than just file storage. It can do processing as well.

gotta fail fast

this is just one of the instances
there are many more instances according to https://farside.link/ (which is a thing that will automatically redirect you to one of them: https://farside.link/teddit/ ) so by using this, you help reduce the load on individual instance, resulting in less “too many requests” errors for everyone.

lol
but this does bring up a real concern:
I highly doubt that “desktop PCs” will still be a thing in 7 decades.
the desktop/laptop will most likely get replaced by something else
and if modern PCs have some roadblocks for installing any OS you want (SecureBoot, and soon Microsoft Pluton), then imagine how much harder it will be on the next iteration of personal devices.
Well, “will be”. Already is. On phones. Most phones require serious wizardry or make it basically impossible to install other OS on them.
And as far as I see, phones will be the thing that takes place of PCs.

so yes, I would not mind if the FOSS community abandons the whole Year Of The Linux Desktop™ meme right now and instead starts to focus on ensuring that the upcoming platform will allow us to have the freedom. Let Microsoft enjoy the dominance on PC. Maybe challenge them every now and then. But the primary focus of FOSS community should be the preemptive liberation of the platform that will follow PC.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

you think they know?
you think that Instagram users have any idea about what they are getting into?
most of them probably don’t even know that Instangram is owned by Meta / Facebook, despite the small logo.

sup dawg, heard you like sessions

lol this reminds me of psDoom

there is FunkWhale
not sure how it compares to SoundCloud, but it is certainly some sort of successor to GrooveShark
