For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.

As far as I'm concerned, you have three options:

1. Not watch the new Harry Potter.

2. Watch the new Harry Potter but shut up about it.

3. Admit to watching the new Harry Potter and be judged.

There is no fourth option. I think you should do number 1, but you're a grownup and I don't have access to your router, so it's not up to me. But understand that if you do watch it, you need to either shut the hell up or brace yourself. Because I am not here to make you feel ok about it.

We're getting our first look at Grand #Paris Express in action.

The driverless trains will run at 110 km/h, putting this among the fastest metros in the world.

✅ 4 all-new metro lines
✅ 68 new stations
✅ 200 km (125 miles) of new tracks
✅ 1 major line extension (Line 14, both ends)

I am not a fan of the rise of mandatory age verification in apps and websites.

But if that’s the direction we’re going to go in then it makes the most sense for this to be supported at the operating system level than every random website or app collecting your government ID.
