PSA: Don't install Call of Duty WWII on PC. There's apparently an RCE exploit via game chat people are using to hack each other's PCs.

Good news! For the first time, desktop breaks through 5% share in USA OS market as per Statcounter gs.statcounter.com/os-market-s

Oh, absolutely, Microsoft, please, by all means, continue with your grand experiments like Recall Spyware, deleting email accounts in far-flung corners of the globe or stealing data for AI training. Rest assured, these brilliant strategies will have absolutely no bearing on Win11 desktop adoption. None whatsoever. We thank you from Linux HQ. Lmao.

A four-panel comic:

Panel 1: An orange, round-headed character with dot eyes and a small dot mouth stands facing a yellow, similar-looking character who is partially obscured, reaching out a hand. The orange character says, "YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME, I'M STUCK IN A TIME LOOP."

Panel 2: The two characters are now fully visible, standing opposite each other. The orange character asks, "HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?" The yellow character, looking concerned with a downturned mouth, responds, "ABOUT 4 PANELS."

Panel 3: The orange character looks at the yellow character with a slight smile. The yellow character is now shown climbing the brown border of the comic panel, looking back at the orange character. The orange character asks, "HAVE YOU TRIED CLIMBING OUTSIDE OF THE COMIC?" The yellow character, with a determined expression, says, "GOOD IDEA."

Panel 4: The yellow character has successfully climbed out of the comic panel and is no longer visible. The orange character stands alone in the bottom right panel, smiling brightly, and says, "GOOD LUCK."

You’ve probably met Torx, the star-shaped screw that has become common in our phones, consoles, and cars. But have you met Torx Plus? It's the high-tech upgrade nobody told you about: straighter walls, zero cam-out, and way more torque transfer. Sounds great, until you try to open your gadget and realize your trusty T5 doesn’t fit anymore.

We explain the difference between Torx and Torx Plus on our blog: ifixit.com/News/110702/torx-pl

X-ray image showing a side-by-side comparison of Torx and Torx Plus screw heads. The Torx head has pointier points than the Torx Plus, which has almost flat points. Image by Lumafield.

@parismarx #organicMaps is great choice for a google maps alternative. I use in the UK and it seems to work well.

Chemistry has the solutions, and for solutions, you need solvents!

This graphic, produced for IMPACTIVE, looks at the different categories of solvents and some examples of their uses: wp.me/s4aPLT-solvents

Infographic on different types of solvents. The graphic explains the difference between polar and non-polar solvents then categorises solvents into two major categories: inorganic and organic. The organic category is split into three further categories: hydrocarbons, oxygenated, and halogenated.

> Signal groups, in particular, are more powerful than you might be aware of, even if you already use them all the time. In this post I'll show you how to:

- Turn an in-person meeting into a Signal group using QR codes
- Manage large semi-public groups while still vetting new members
- Make announcement-only groups, perfect for volunteer networks rapidly responding to things like ICE raids

When the AI techbros are finally hauled up on charges and asked if they are guilty, their only options for reply should be "yes" or "maybe later".

Signal should be much more popular. Make yourself an account. Being reachable on a trustworthy messenger isn’t that much of a deal.

Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to GPX and KMZ files that render well in Organic Maps.
