I'll take a stab at this, based on public data.

4% of desktops
2% of laptops
96.3% of the top 1 million web servers
82–85% of smartphones worldwide
48% of tablets
100% of the world’s top 500 supercomputers
62% of embedded systems

AI estimate: Linux likely runs on 40–50% of the world’s CPUs.

Attn III%ers: you look stupid and weak while you let a tyrannical government act like this. People are laughing at you, call you ammosexuals, mock you.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Qatar is a close ally of China and the two have recently entered into what has been described as a "Golden Era" of strategic partnership. Putting Qatari military facilities inside the United States is akin to stationing Chinese troops.

Sure. Airplane mode just turns off the radios (LTE/5G, WiFi, Bluetooth).

Mike Johnson tried tonight to characterize the upcoming No Kings 2.0 day on 10/18 as a “Hate America” movement. Wrong. Utterly wrong. To reject dictators, authoritarians, and tyrants is to love America, to love the very idea at the heart of it.

I do not feel like the American public has the humility or disposition to atone for the sins this administration is committing - given that we have failed at reconstruction & desegregation.

But there are too many people “just following orders” that they know are wrong, I don’t know how we move on.

Easily checked on a scope, and the answer is no. Everything is not a conspiracy theory.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

If they are over 60, they are now in prison for the health care, roof over their heads, and food. If you eject them in the current economic environment, first thing they will do is re-offend.

And think how convenient bombing runs on Americans in CA will be from a nearby state! Saves fuel too, and that's important for the environment. Genius.
