Good news! For the first time, #Linux desktop breaks through 5% share in USA OS market as per Statcounter https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/united-states-of-america
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.
@roller @gsuberland @catsalad I still have some customer with these beauties. They plugged that port with glue.

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: https://www.ifixit.com/News/110702/torx-plus-the-high-tech-screw-hiding-in-our-gadgets

@parismarx #organicMaps is great choice for a google maps alternative. I use in the UK and it seems to work well.
This is the last thing you see before something bad happens.
Chemistry has the solutions, and for solutions, you need solvents!

> 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
**Using Signal groups for activism** by @micahflee
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.
