Billionaires are not the 1%... they're the 0.1% of the 1%...
I hate that occupy wall street picked such a stupid number to pick fights with. 1% is like a high earning doctor. Well off, but not like wealthy enough to buy votes and sway elections...
we wanted the year of the linux desktop... well the first raft of windows refugees seem to be a bunch of these overzealous privacy types who think they're now a bunch of 1337 h4x0rs because they figured out how to get an nvidia driver working on mint.... they have more paranoia than actual tech knowledge, and their only contribution to the community is sowing dissent, and shouting about something as trivial as an optional data field.

If people want chip sovereignty they need to byild fabsm anyone can design chips. The bottle neck is and always has been getting them manufactured and thats almost entirely in taiwan and china
The funny thing is, i actually have legit access to some paid streaming services. But because i refuse to download their app or connect my tv to the internet, i'm limited to 720p in the browser....
Just a reminder, going from 6.x to 7.x does not mean there are more new features than usual. The numbering is totally arbitrary and Linus once joked about running out of fingers and toes to count
Debian on old laptop for the win!
back in 2023, i was using a junky old acer laptop from 2014 with 8GB RAM. It was still faster than the 16GB dell laptop work gave me.
Windows tax isnt just monetary...
