In this week's #Linux and #opensource news video, we have Linux passing #macos marketshare among developers, #Mastodon refusing multiple funding offers from venture capital firms, and TikTok being once again a total privacy nightmare.

And also, Happy New Year! (If your calendar says taht's when it happens).

@thelinuxEXP And happy New Year to you too, Nick! :3
@thelinuxEXP It's strange how a platform with a higher developer count than MacOS can't even get close to the user base of the latter. Maybe 2023 is finally the year when this switches. The year of the Linux desktop. Probably not.
@thelinuxEXP Happy New Year and thank you very much for your interesting videos! Btw, why are you posting YouTube links in your Mastodon posts when you have your videos on PeerTube, too? Both are on the Fediverse and a natural fit... 😉
@McPringle Because the Peertube video isn’t live when I post the YouTube one, it syncs from YouTube, and also because I made 0 money from Peertube, so if I want to be able to keep doing that, I need to prioritize YouTube ;)
Happy new year to you too!
@thelinuxEXP @McPringle Makes sense. I never watch the videos on youtube. But I just topped up my patreon commitment. Guess this should also work if everyone would do that.
@romix @McPringle Yeah, definitely! Anyone just being at the lowest tier on Patreon pays me more per month than YouTube would for 500 views 😅
@thelinuxEXP Happy new year! I know there're still a few hours to go. Anyway, start your celebration for the coming 2023!
@thelinuxEXP Bonne et heureuse annee.
@thelinuxEXP HNY Nick and thanks for all you do!
