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.

Don't worry about Trump cancelling elections.

Authoritarians love elections. They get 90% of the vote. They decide who votes and how and how the votes are counted and if the count will be certified..

The wrong politicians were elected into Congress. When people don’t care about their local elections, don’t bother to vote, don’t bother to research, this is where we were bound to end up. Incompetent and weak representatives with free healthcare for life and pensions despite not having earned it.

It’s not democrat verse republican anymore

It’s pedophile versus not pedophile.

That’s it.

I don’t care what’s side of the aisle you’re on. You either touch kids or you don’t.

The president of the United States Donald J Trump is a pedophile and a murderer. His victims deserve justice. Release all of the files now.

If ICE had anything to do with enforcing the law, they wouldn't be breaking our laws, attacking the innocent, letting people die, or be taking trophy photos of their victims.

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime.

Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

Data does not support claims that the United States is experiencing a surge in crime caused by immigrants.

Let's talk about the midterms.

ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.

Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

So many companies have their fingers on this I'm worried about an integration related failure.

Lockheed Martin,
Airbus Defence and Space,
Boeing,
Northrop Grumman,
United Launch Alliance (ULA).

It's hard enough when a single company manufactures a rocket.

This is also non-reusable (ocean dump).
Despite US politics being a total clusterfuck, this is an incredible development. It will be the first time anyone under the age 54 will have been alive to see a Lunar mission. Part of the spacecraft was also built by the European Space Agency. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Discovery should be interesting, if he follows through, which I doubt he will. It's much more likely this is just extortion.
Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

A wide-ranging UC San Francisco study found that sky-high rents are forcing people into homeless.

Middle- and working-class tenants need urgent help.

They need rent control.
People Are Working Hard, But They’re Still Homeless
A new book by Brian Goldstone shows that hard-working people still end up homeless, showing the need for serious changes to housing policy.

Current project; assembly completed. A Lidar non-contact garage door open/closed sensor. Only about $15 - $20 in parts (including the case).

Open source Tasmota firmware supports the sensor out of the box.
