    I hate microslop so fucking much. This whole idea of only the elite monopolies owning all computer power and renting out to us is an affront to humanity.

    That’s a really fancy way to say ‘dumb terminals to the mainframe’ … only without wires.

      100% of supercomputers, 80% of mobile devices (as Android), 4 or 5% of desktops depending on whether you count ChromeOS. Desktop share is a few percent higher if you just count gaming PCs, eg. the Steam survey, since it’s more widely used at home than on business machines.

      The rate of adoption is accelerating, too - slowly but steadily.

        That’s very strange… it was reported at 4-5% last year too wasn’t it. Rico, why is it the same percentage as then and why is the acceleration still slow?

            Haha you’re a funny penguin Rico we can definitely kaboom this whole place after the operation is over. Actually that’s genius, you’re right!! Kawolski get me a schematic on how we can make that kaboom happen within the hour!!

              Bill Gates is talking to the executives, and is complaining about penguins taking over their operations. I think they know we’re here 😨

                Its alright Private we’ll just have to add them to the kaboom!! You know I like you Private you got a good head on your shoulders. Reminds me of when I started out. Now, if we can just find out where Tux is.

                “Who’s Tux Skipper?” - Private

                Whos Tux? He’s our commander Private he’s out there leading all of us penguins in our war and operations in his snazzy suit. We are the forward team here in Madagascar but we have penguins all over the world working together to stop them

                In the meantime you know what we gotta do if they find us. Just smile and wave boys smile and wave

    So glad the idiotic decisions Microsoft makes doesn’t effect my computer. And I’m excited for the rest of the population to make the shift to Linux, at least on their personal computers.

    It doesn’t have to be like this, you too can be immune

      I have Zorin os on my main laptop and actively migrating my main desktop. Will try to get my kids desktop to Zorin too, his was my test subject for windows 11 and it crashed and burned. Everyday I see more and more issues and performance drops with client computers on win11. One or two I’d chalk up to user errors, but not brand new devices I deploy with 32gb of ram struggling to connect to an RDP session. Fuck windows 11 and all the AI horseshit.

        That’s great parenting. My daughter had only known Linux until she started 7th grade this year and got a school windows laptop. She hates that thing with passion. I’m so proud of her 😍

      They are a big company. Their server security is likely much better than your measly home pc. *"So please do all your banking and company research in our cloudcomputer… " *- (/s for measure)

        At this point it’s on purpose by Micro$lop. The SharePoint vulnerability last year was the prime example of that. They fixed the problem on their servers, then told everyone about it, and released a patch.

        Their security is only better if you don’t take into account how attractive they are as a target. lol

          @Mac @Flying_Lynx or how much they would like insider knowledge of your spending habits. If ai has taught us anything, it’s that the big tech companies want control of your data at all costs

      Reminds me of talking about property with communists. Private property should be abolished, but personal property is different, that you can have, until someone wants it strongly enough for it to be considered private property.
