I really don't like this guy, but as a 30+ year Linux user and advocate, I like the post...sort of.

"And it's definitely true that Linux is still a niche operating system on the desktop. Even among developers."

I don't think it's a "niche" operating system among developers. On the desktop with everyday, average users? Maybe. But not with developers.

don't know the guy, maybe because i am in foss heaven. But in all honesty when people in the mainstream, outside of our bubble start talking about Linux then something is happening.

Did You Know: The "Bladesongs of Boethra" suggests that Boethiah was responsible for stopping the Marukhati Selective from achieving monothought of The Exclusionary Mandates when they danced upon the Tower during the Middle Dawn, ending their attempt at Sacred Expungement of the "Aldmeri Taint"?

The image features a detailed statue of a fantasy character standing on a pedestal. The character is depicted with pointed ears, a muscular build, and is adorned in elaborate armor with intricate designs, including a belt with a circular emblem and a flowing cape. The character's right hand is raised, holding an object that resembles a weapon or tool, while the left hand is at the side. The statue is accompanied by a creature resembling a lion, positioned to the right, with its head turned towards the character.

The statue is set against a backdrop of a lush, mountainous landscape with greenery and ancient-looking structures, suggesting a fantasy setting. The ground beneath the statue is a stone platform with a patterned design, and the overall scene is rendered in a realistic style, indicating it might be from a video game or a digital artwork.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

The Cherokee Lord of the rings Army of the Dead - Long ago a powerful unknown tribe invaded the country from the southeast, killing people and destroying settlements wherever they went. No leader could stand against them, and in a little while they had wasted all the lower settlements and advanced into

could find no hiding place. All along the ridge they fell, until when they reached the head of Tuckasegee, not more than a dozen were left alive, and in despair they sat down and cried for mercy. Ever since, the Cherokee have called the place Dayulsunyi (Dahyoolsoonyee) "where they cried". Then the Nunnehi Chief of the Immortal spirits told them they had deserved their punishment for attacking the tribes and told them to go back and take the message of their defeat and to never return.

🏃‍♂️ Aletsch Halb - An extremely runnable trail ⛰️ half marathon with views on the remainders of the longest glacier in Alps. Tons of gorgeous views. Amazing spectators. Really happy with my performance. Not so much with the incredible amount of people and queuing. But overall 10/10 worth it, would recommend.

The image features a square design with a white background and an intricate orange border in the corners. The border is ornate, with floral and scroll-like patterns, creating a decorative frame around the central text. The text is written in Dutch and reads: "Ons probleem zit niet in een rubberbootje, maar in een private jet!" The font is serif, and the text is centered within the image. The overall color scheme is a combination of white and orange, with the orange providing a striking contrast against the white background. The design is symmetrical, with the decorative elements evenly distributed in each corner.

Arizona Republicans have revealed the latest target of their voter suppression tactics: certain U.S. citizens living abroad who, under state law, are allowed to vote in Arizona elections.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said his office will fight to defend these voters, “many of whom are the adult children of our military service members and American diplomats.”

I try to stay out of the complex political situation in the USA. But you are right of course.

@os_sci

Well, that's understandable, but it's not that complicated.

Rich, greedy, corrupt people have taken over one political party and do anything to support the interests of their rich greedy supporters.

Rich, scared, not as corrupt people run the other political party and will do anything to keep their seat in office.

Rich greedy, corrupt people have the controlling interest of the Supreme Court and will overlook anything that hurts their rich political friends.

🚗✨ Klassiker mit Stil!
Hier steht er – ein originaler Opel Ascona B aus den goldenen 70ern. Chrom, klare Kanten und echter Charakter – sowas gibt’s heute nur noch selten! 🖤

Mit H-Kennzeichen und gepflegtem Zustand ist dieser Ascona nicht nur ein Auto, sondern ein Stück Automobilgeschichte. Wer erinnert sich noch an die Zeiten, als echtes Fahrgefühl noch durch die Hände ging – ohne Assistenzsysteme und Touchscreens?

Das Bild zeigt ein klassisches, weiße Opel Ascona aus den 1980er Jahren, das in einem modernen, hellen Innenraum mit großen Fenstern und einem glänzenden Fliesenboden ausgestellt ist. Das Fahrzeug hat einen markanten Kühlergrill mit dem Opel-Logo und zwei runde Scheinwerfer. Die Scheiben sind dunkel, und die Innenbeleuchtung des Fahrzeugs ist nicht sichtbar. Die Fahrzeugnummer lautet "8IR I 75H". Durch die Fenster im Hintergrund sind weitere Fahrzeuge und Gebäude im Freien zu sehen. Die Atmosphäre des Raumes ist sauber und gut beleuchtet, was die Präsentation des Autos betont.

A lucky puffin with a beakful of fish on Great Saltee Island off County Wexford. The island, one of Ireland’s major bird sanctuaries, is home to puffins, gannets, guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, great black-backed gulls, kittiwakes and manx shearwaters.

The 40th anniversary of Back to the Future was this week and some of the cast & crew discuss why it couldn’t be rebooted today.

Lea Thompson, doesn’t think 1995 and 2025 look that much different besides smartphones. A co-writer thinks a high schooler and a middle aged scientist being friends would be too weird.

But the real reason is, that the young people would believe that this is stealing some ideas from Rick and Morty.


Guten Morgen,

ruhig, kühl und träge.

Ups, gerade ist ein Storch in Kopfhöhe vorbei geflogen....

Mit der Katze einen Kontrollgang absolviert,
Kaffee im Glas.

Ich genieße es.

Das Video zeigt eine detaillierte Ansicht einer dampfenden Tasse Kaffee, die aus einem glänzenden, silbernen Metallbecher besteht. Der Becher steht auf einem dunklen Holztisch, und um ihn herum sind Kaffeebohnen verstreut. Dampf steigt aus der Tasse auf, was darauf hinweist, dass der Kaffee sehr heiß ist. Im Hintergrund ist ein Teil eines Behälters mit Kaffeebohnen zu sehen, der umgekippt ist und weitere Bochsen auf den Tisch fallen lässt. Die Szene vermittelt eine warme und einladende Atmosphäre, die typisch für eine Kaffeezubereitung ist.
