It was unthinkable 10 years ago. I call it a win.

Android is not on this plot, it’s desktop only.

The 2nd place is interestingly not Apple, but Unknown.

I bought a tablet and I feel like the money has been wasted. I use it maybe once a month.

This aligns with statcounter data here: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-200901-202505

Windows market share on desktop has been slowly but steadily declining. From 95+% in 2009, to almost 70% today. In the same time period Linux went up from 0.6% to 4%, which is not bad.

the debloater is a good resource for what system apps do, and whether or not they are actually needed.

I recommend the universal android debloater: https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation

It has good recommendations.

Don’t blame AI for human failings. This is on humans, not machines.

ummm no. I don’t want Meta to access my chats.

Every accusation Americans make is also an admission of guilt.

I own BYD and it is a great car. Very pleased with it.

I just download mp3 files from youtube using yt-dlp (laptop) or newpipe (android)

Isn’t that the correct response to a genocidal dictatorship? Please tell me what other feelings are appropriate.

on linux it is easy to record the audio that is sent to the sound device. lots of programs do it.

onthespot doesn’t look too bad if you want to download from spotify directly.

I just download from youtube though. It’s very easy with yt-dlp.

Graphs like this will always be population graphs. Russia is the 9th most populated country with 140 million people.

Israel is a genocidal terror organization.

Israel has attacked Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran in the last few months. I’m probably forgetting a few places, because those ulta-religious lunatics in Tel Aviv are attacking everyone.

Religious conservatism is poison. And nothing is more poisonous than the fascist regime in Tel Aviv.

Elden Ring runs better on proton/wine/dxvk then it does on Windows.

Israel wrote the book on war crimes.

I know I can. But the hostility of Signal devs to open source and F-Droid makes me uncomfortable. Why use an app with such hostility?

I don’t use Signal because they don’t release the app in F-Droid. Signal devs refuse to release the app outside of Google Play Store, which is very evil.
