Structural Engineer, coding for engineering (professionally and fun) and fun projects. Python, Fortran in my arsenal and used to work with Pascal (many years ago), Basic (many-many years ago), Java (most used but stopped when Oracle bought Sun) and C/C++ (just a bit - never used extensively). GNU/Linux only when it's my decision but being forced to use "the other" OS at work.

Can it be true? Linux has over 6% of the desktop market?

The Fediverse isn't for exhibitionists – share and be shared. Show interest, and it will show interest. Just be yourself ;)
Being authentic is important: even if it's authentically different.

JWcph, Radicalized By Decency"Zuck kept up his growth story with this mind control narrative for more than a decade, got caught committing a string of spectacular frauds, and then lured investors back into his stock offerings by telling the same story." - @pluralistic
Having worked with them I've met few if any investors who aren't idiots (that's why I left). We need to kill the narrative that the few idiots who got lucky are somehow geniuses.

Attached: 1 image Zuck's told investors how he plans to make back the tens of billions he's spending on AI: he's going to use it to make ads that can bypass our critical faculties and convince anyone to buy anything. In other words, Meta will make an AI mind-control ray and rent it out to grateful advertisers. -- If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog: https://pluralistic.net/2025/05/07/rah-rah-rasputin/#credulous-dolts 1/

Leah Rowe ist kein RoweboterI feel like randomly promoting a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) project, that I use:
That project is OpenWRT, a Linux distro for routers:
This replaces the usual proprietary bloat, offering better customisation and security features. They also make money from selling their own preloaded router:
https://openwrt.org/toh/openwrt/one
OpenWRT is a member of Software Freedom Conservancy:
https://sfconservancy.org/projects/current/
There are others too, like pfSense and OPNsense, based on FreeBSD.
Trade wars and tarrifs will have a negative impact on the economy in general and everyone but I have been dreaming that the perfect retaliation would be for the states to decline buying proprietary software from everyone else, relying on free/libre software instead. Now, that'd be a measure I'd support!
