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.

They are also missing Olivia Wilde, which is the only thing that made Tron:Legacy watchable.

So call SWAT. Identify yourselves and tell them that ICE is in criminal violation. As a Congressman, have them breach the building and the ICE personnel arrested.

Or put a sternly worded letter in Krisco's inbox.

Shame them back under the rock they crawled out from, every single time. If you allow it, they will take that as proof that it's ok. It's not, and it never will be.

Mike Johnson isn't showing up to work; replace him. If any of us didn't show up to work for a month, we'd be out of a job.

QUESTION: Why do we need Mike Johnson to "swear in" Rep Grijalva? Who gives a f**k about their traditions? She's elected. Call a locksmith, unlock the office, get to work, release the Epstein files. 💯 The p*dophiles don't follow rules. Why should we?

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Asking questions doesn't mean getting answers. Only the prosecutor is present, and they should be presenting all the evidence (including exculpatory evidence). But omitting that can lead the jury to a bad conclusion. Usually they don't do that because trials cost $. But here the idea is too annoy.

I'm guessing some of the kids were beaten to death.

Katie Johnson's deposition indicated that Trump slapped her around when she resisted the rape. So I'm guessing some got slapped around more than others.

Kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance doesn't mean people won't get sick.

It makes health care more expensive for everyone.

Bluesky mods aid genocide by banning Palestinians @pastures.myatproto.social · 19h

One of the more irritating things about some veterans and law-enforcement is that they think they have the most dangerous job in the world. They don't. Farming is more dangerous. So is fishing. Unless you're regularly in combat, it's simply not more dangerous than natural resources careers
