The vast majority of the increase, is what I said. In other words, I’m saying it wouldn’t be nearly at the 3% mark without those users, and with over a quarter of all Linux users coming from the Steam Deck userbase, that is, in fact, true.
Just boot the computer, choose which DE you want to install
Yeah, that’s not at all accessible to the average consumer; they don’t know what a “DE” even is, much less why they should choose any over any other.
Very, very few people want to deal with something other than a ‘just works’ situation.
I think it will continue to rise. People are updating their rigs all the time. Whenever they update their rig they’ll have to ask themselves whether they want to continue with Windows on their new rig, or try with something new.
The vast majority of this increase is from people playing on Steam Decks, which run on Linux, not from people switching to Linux on their PCs.
If it continues to rise, this is the reason. The general public is less and less into using a desktop at all as time goes on, much less running, and much less changing to, an extremely niche operating system on one.
EDIT: The previous sentence is actually more of the reason, upon further reflection. The total number of people playing on desktops period is falling, and the vast majority of desktops are Windows, so non-Windows OSes will comparatively gain ‘market share’ as that happens, even if their numbers don’t change at all.
It was a 4-person tournament, what kind of prize pool do you think that’s going to have? lol
It looks like she was playing in these events all throughout her pregancy, including a win at 7 months.
Credit where credit’s due, but it seems like great pains have been taken to hide the fact that this was a tournament of 4 players.
Looks like she also had a 1st place finish in this tournament, which had over triple the entrants (14), and she did it while 7 months pregnant—that’s much more impressive, imo.
Yeah, there are a lot of comparisons like these that at least partially break down when you don’t consider the way the US is set up, re state governments.
Another big example is minimum wage. While the federal minimum is $7.25, it is a very small minority of places where it’s even possible to find (above-board, of course; if you work under the table, all bets are off) work at that low a wage, both because of the above (state minimum is higher) and because other market forces essentially negate it as the minimum, even in most places where $7.25 is in fact the legal minimum wage.
Yeah, that doesn’t really track, tons of people fetishize so-called ‘muscle mommies’, lol.
I’ve been using Firefox for over a decade, and Windows has never complained about it. What are you talking about?
The email proves he knew Epstein at least as long as Epestein had the island up and running.
That’s not enough to convict him of anything, though. It’s sounding more and more like there won’t be any smoking gun in these files, at least not when it comes to Trump specifically.
Some messages made references to Trump, though they do not provide any evidence of criminal conduct.
Welp.
The article also doesn’t mention those communications implicating anyone (alive) other than Maxwell, which isn’t nothing, but definitely not the illumination people were hoping for, I don’t think.
Deservedly so, since it’s supposed to be four syllables before the claps, no more, no less. /s
Oh, so all of a sudden Hugo from New Jersey’s not good enough to get a red underline?
I’ve got a worthless degree i deeply regret
Meanwhile, not far from this comment is someone claiming no one regrets getting their degree, lol.
Bullshit, my score’s in the 800s and all I do is use my credit card for everyday purchases, and pay it off every month. I never carry a balance or pay a cent of interest, nor do I have any installment loans (car loan, etc.) at all.
Tons of confident incorrectness in this thread.
What do you mean paying off a loan made my score lower??
It doesn’t, you just don’t know how it works.
You’re probably seeing that on Credit Karma, which uses a score that stops counting closed loans immediately, whereas the actual credit reporting bureaus’ systems have them stay on your credit report for 10 years from the date of closure. While they remain, they do continue to count toward your average age of accounts (AAoA) in most scoring models (including FICO). That means even closed accounts can help keep your average age higher.
And given that your average account age doesn’t need to be anywhere close to 10 for you to have ‘perfect’ (750 and above puts you in the highest tier in the eyes of every lender) credit (hell, account age is only like 15% of the score), this is actually not an issue, at all. My average account age is less than 8 years and my score’s over 800. Just make your payments on time and you’re good. You don’t even need to accrue any interest—using a credit card and paying it completely off every month works just fine, that’s what I do.
I have more disposable income!
Having income isn’t proof you can be relied on to promptly pay back a loan, having a history of having promptly paid back loans is. A third of people making over $200,000 a year live paycheck to paycheck—just because you’re making money doesn’t mean you’re a responsible borrower.
Yeah, lots of people on Lemmy are so sanctimonious while simultaneously falling for the most obvious satire/ragebait imaginable, lol.
“stop taxing” doesn’t mean stop taxing
calling a lie a lie is ad hominem
Fuck all the way off, pathetic liar.
Pretty sure that falls under the “productivity” umbrella, lol.
