  • I’m super confused by your point.

    In this case we’re looking at Steam.

    I have no clue how many people submit to the steam survey, but I’ll assume it’s representative.

    A quick google suggests steam has about 120 million active users.

    Linux went from about 1.4% to 1.9%.

    Rough math says Linux went from 1.7 million to about 2.3 million.

    Or an increase of 600 000.

    That a lot, both in relative terms and in real terms.

    Here’s a counter example for you.

    You own stock in banana company. Over one day the price increases 2x. All the news agency’s are talking about how banana surged in price today. Will you then suggest that banana didn’t surge in price because it only makes up 1% of the overall stock market?





  • It is insiane to me that Google shows these ads to google one subscribers.

    I already pay google hundreds of dollars a year, and have done so for years. then over the last 2 yesr they slowly started rolling out intrusive ads into my mobile Gmail app.

    It was the final straw for me. I’ve started slowing migrating my email off Gmail, but my goodness is that ever a slow and painful process.

    This was my experience too. Ubuntu asks if I want to install the docker snap, I say sure. I then try to use docker and it’s completely unable to do what I need. I then need to figure out how to uninstall the snap and then install docker normally.

    I tried a few snaps, but everytime they were a pain in the ass and I regretted it. Now I avoid them at all costs
