lol
but this does bring up a real concern:
I highly doubt that "desktop PCs" will still be a thing in 7 decades.
the desktop/laptop will most likely get replaced by something else
and if modern PCs have some roadblocks for installing any OS you want (SecureBoot, and soon Microsoft Pluton), then imagine how much harder it will be on the next iteration of personal devices.
Well, "will be". Already is. On phones. Most phones require serious wizardry or make it basically impossible to install other OS on them.
And as far as I see, phones will be the thing that takes place of PCs.

so yes, I would not mind if the FOSS community abandons the whole Year Of The Linux Desktop™ meme right now and instead starts to focus on ensuring that the upcoming platform will allow us to have the freedom. Let Microsoft enjoy the dominance on PC. Maybe challenge them every now and then. But the primary focus of FOSS community should be the preemptive liberation of the platform that will follow PC.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

oh wait, I walk by that building quite often
now I will always get scared there because of your post

you think they know?
you think that Instagram users have any idea about what they are getting into?
most of them probably don't even know that Instangram is owned by Meta / Facebook, despite the small logo.

This article makes it look like EU CVP defines "metaverse" as "lol connected stuff I guess" and not as "VRChat by Zucc".
Which is good.
Still, I wonder if they will take (and contribute to) ThirdRoom or Mozilla Hubs instead of reinventing the wheel when they come to the VR part of their plan.

As far as I understand, StatCounter gets data from people browsing the internet.
They are probably partnered with a lot of sites in order to get all the useragent data of their visitors or something, idk. They probably have their method described somewhere.
This is not Steam, where stats are gathered from random monthly surveys.

this proxy does not seem to be working for me
but then again, the LibRedirect extension automatically sent me to this site, where I was able to read the article just fine:

Apparently Lee is organising GitHub Game-Off 2023, so that might be a place where you will be able to get some of his attention.
Go look into repo's issue tracker and find all the posts where people say that they made a fork, or are in other ways interested in getting the repo more up to date. Then message them all, organise them together. Maybe even set up a Github Organisation (fancy name for a "group of users"), and when you have everything set in place, bother Lee until he transfers repo ownership to that organisation.

Instructions unclear, got dick stuck in a box

lol this reminds me of psDoom
