Som en konsekvens av Elon Musks övertagande av Twitter urartade plattformen. Moderering avskaffades i praktiken och högerextremism, rasism och antifeminism med mer abredde ut sig.

Att modereringen upphört innebär i detta sammanhang att hatbudskap från högern med fler inte längre modereras bort. Det var i sammanhanget inte viktigt att gå närmare in på det. Utan det viktiga här var effekterna av Elon Musks övertagande.
in reply to Anders_S

X eller Twitter missgynnade dessutom vänstern långt innan Musk tog över. Så det är inget nytt. Även Facebook, Instagram och Threads missgynnar vänstern så just den detaljen är inte en unikt för X. Till och med Googlesökningar missgynnar vänstern (framförallt pro-palestinsk vänster).


Resume work from backup on another device?

Thank you for the detailed response!
Yes, the what data and how to not create conflicts has been troubling me the most.

I think I might first narrow it down with test VMs first, to skip the transfer part, before I actually use it “in production“.

in reply to unskilled5117

Honestly a very imperfect alternatives but that's been sufficient for me for years is... NextCloud of documents.

There are few dozen documents I need regardless of the device, e.g national ID, billing template, but the vast VAST majority of my files I can get on my desktop... which is why I replied to you in depth rather than actually doing it. I even wrote some software for a "broader" view on resuming across devices including offline, namely git.benetou.fr/utopiah/offline… as a network of NodeJS HTTP servers but ... same, that's more for the intellectual curiosity than a pragmatic need. So yes explore with VMs if you prefer but I'd argue remain pragmatic, i.e what you genuinely do need versus an "idealized" system that you don't actually use yet makes your workflow and setup more complex and less secure.

Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs


in reply to DacoTaco

Sure, my bad. But it does not change my point. They have released stuff as opensource even if not all of it. Which means they can if they want to.

I know, hence why i said youre not wrong but the example was wrong :p
Also, its more complex than that. Some teams can, some cant. And if they can it all depends on what project or context. The business world isnt that cut and dry hehe




Linux Market Share Reaches New Peak: July 2024 Report


The Linux operating system has reached a notable milestone in desktop market share, according to the latest data from StatCounter. As of July 2024, Linux has achieved a 4.45% market share for desktop operating systems worldwide.

While this percentage might seem small to those unfamiliar with the operating system landscape, it represents a significant milestone for Linux and its dedicated community. What makes this achievement even more thrilling is the upward trajectory of Linux's adoption rate.


...

According to the statistics from the past ten years, It took eight years for Linux to go from a 1% to 2% market share (April 2021), 2.2 years to climb from 2% to 3% (June 2023), and a mere 0.7 years to reach 4% from 3% (February 2024). This exponential growth pattern suggests that 2024 might be the year Linux reaches a 5% market share.

It is finally upon us.

THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!

Terms and conditions apply. It could be the next year, or the year after, or not at all.

in reply to pnutzh4x0r

Did anybody bother to look at the numbers?

I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange.
Statistics isn't my thing... But it looks like it's wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.

Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in "unknown".
Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic way.

Mac OS also shows a weird behavior.
Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November...

It's not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it one month later. Same but opposite goes for the windows stats.

I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have..

Not saying that Linux isn't increasing on desktop market share.
Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.

Samma år som Mastodon lanserades skapade också den högerextrema sajten Gab som en reaktion mot modereringen på stora sociala medier som Facebook och Twitter. Sajten växte snabbt och 2019 gick de över till att använda en klon av Mastodon.

“Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update




The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT


in reply to acceptable_humor

Another option if you have a laptop and desktop is to test the waters slowly with the laptop, and keep your desktop as is. It's what I did for a long while to get used to things on Linux.

If there is a critical problem with my Linux instalation on my laptop, it's OK because all the real stuff I care about is still on the desktop. So I'm free to wipe the laptop at a moments notice. It's the easiest way to learn in my experience.

You know there is almost more stuff advising how to switch to Linux than there is stuff for existing users or people with their feet in both worlds. There are plenty of people who used Linux but only for server, or as a dual boot, or on one machine but not another. I think they would benefit from advice on how to fully switch over or how to use both systems to full effectiveness together. Like I only fully switched to Linux maybe 6 months ago after going back and forth for years.

We also need to be thinking about how to get people from beginner level to intermediate, and then on to advanced levels. There isn't a clear progression path forward. It could be something like: Linux Mint -> Arch -> Nix. I believe projects like Arco Linux are striving to fulfill this gap from beginner to advanced.

Do we seriously need to play roblox on linux?
in reply to Noo

No one said we need to play roblox on linux. We WANT to play roblox on Linux because its our computer and we want the freedom to play what we choose and not be arbitrarily limited by an asshole game studio.

Ladybird Browser Team Selects Swift as Preferred Language


I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I'm not a dev so I can't really judge. What are your thoughts?

I not entirely sure but from what I can remember Andreas Kling is seen using Mac-os in a Ladybird update video so it could be possible that it is his main operating system. Take this with a grain of salt.

Bluetooth Audio Issues when launching a game?


Hi there, I just acquired myself the Sennheiser Momentum 4, mainly for using while communting + work. But figured i'd try them out for some gaming too. They work just fine when watching YT or any video, but when I launch a game the audio quality changes significantly. I have no idea how or why its doing it, nor how to fix it. I've tried all of these different audio profile options, but all of them make the audio either distorted, weak, or make it sound like the audio is trapped inside a room... Anyone know how to go about this? Audio works fine with my normal non-wireless headset.

My system is running Bazzite.

Appreciate any pointers to how to resolve this.

GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release


GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.

The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.

I just flipped through the introduction of a GIMP book that the authors hoped 3.0 would be out so they could cover it but ultimately based the book on 2.6 due to delays. It's copyright 2012, apparently something (didn't) happen.
