Another video from our pit stop during the @Vivaldi outing. Just a note, this shows only a small part of the lights. The light bands were stretching across the sky, but it is hard to get a good video looking straight up, so I chose one part of the sky with […]

Only 9% plan to move to Windows 11. 1% plan to pay for updates. 22% want to keep using Windows 10, even without security updates […]

I think this survey from GBH says a lot, even though it is on the Fediverse. Overall the impact of AI that is the most visible to us is negative. It is not even close.

Results of my little survey. Why is Linux growing?
19% believe it is because of sunsetting of OS versions. Microsoft is forcing Windows 11 on people and a lot of people are not happy with that and some are just not able to run it. So with a choice of […]

I asked the question : Do you want a laptop with Copilot+?
1% said yes.
96% said (hell) no.
3% were not sure.

All the cool cars get Vivaldi! This is a great example, spotted at Oslo Airport.
When you have cars like this, why would anyone get a Tesla?
I have been driving EVs now for the last 5 years and they are generally more fun and less hassle.

Everybody HATES Tesla.
That is what the numbers show us. I asked if you would buy a Tesla if you were to buy a car and 98% said no. Many of you added some expletives to that.
I guess this also shows us that the Fediverse is unique.

13% Just switched.
15% Are about to switch.
