I couldn't agree more!

Windows turns 40 as frustrated power users quietly move to Linux Windows just turned 40, but a growing number of longtime users are switching to Linux as AI bloat, privacy worries, and surprising gaming gains reshape the desktop market.

Microsoft pulled the plug on Windows 10 — here’s where 780,000 users went After Microsoft pulled the plug on Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, Linux-based Zorin OS coincidentally gained 780,000 users.

I left Windows for Linux (Mint) about 10 years ago and have never looked back. Imagine downloading and installing updates without having to reboot your system. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

I wonder if they'll get an ICEy reception.

Android OS is based on the Linux kernel.

Too bad they aren't using Linux. Major organizations such as Google, Netflix, Amazon, NYSE and many banks and governments use Linux. Companies still use some Windows and macOS for edge, but at the scale that matters—servers, cloud, internal platforms—they are overwhelmingly Linux shops

Audiobook cover of "Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It" by Cory Doctorow

Just finished listening to the audiobook of @doctorow.pluralistic.net's "Enshittification", and *wow* what a book! It encapsulates so many things I've been feeling about the modern tech industry, but articulated so much better than I could. Highly recommend!!

I loved the audiobook. You may be interested in reading/listening to Tim Berners-Lee's (inventor of the world-wide web) "This Is for Everyone: The Unfinished Story of the World Wide Web".

The Anthropic-DOD Conflict: Privacy Protections Shouldn’t Depend On The U.S. military has officially ended its $200 million contract with AI company Anthropic and has ordered all other military contractors to cease use of their products. Why? Because of a dispute

Our privacy should be a collaborative effort between the government and companies–but we cannot rely solely on their goodwill. That’s why we need strict legislative and democratic controls to contain the surveillance state and private industry. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Technical solutions like Tim Berners-Lee's Solid Pods/Wallets would be great. We need to take our personal data out of the hands of Meta, Google, Microsoft, Twitter X etc.

He's such a fool. Why not bury a new convention centre under the 401 and double down on the foolishness.

That's because he values profit and his excessive wealth over doing the right things to protect the vulnerable.

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Setting the bar very low, Trump is no Richard Nixon.

The truth cuts to the bone for CONservatives in Canada.
