This type of reporting is frustrating and I really should get off the internet.

These surveys are done by consultanting companies that have large investment holdings. For example in this report one of the surveys is from Mercer, who has an investment wing that has a AUM (asset under management) ¹ of $727 Bn according to their website ². Would there potentially be any sort of chance someone like Mercer never put out a survey that goes against the bullish market driven by AI speculation? Obviously journalists won’t think about these things anymore because that will effect their click rate.

I’ve also noticed too and they’ve been showing up on other communities with the flimsiest reasons for why it’s been posted e.g. “Oh well I made the slopware while using Linux so that’s why I’m posting to this Linux community”. Their profiles only contributions are self promoting their slop app and nothing else. Shameless

Some communities seemed to be fine with those low effort “I made a slop thing/I’m just going to shamelessly promote” though so I think block profile/unsub is the only option.

Tauri is a cross platform framework and not something specific to the Linux operating systems as per the first rule of this community

“Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.”

Again I might be wrong, and apologies if I am, but the relevance of this post is extremely weak.

I might be missing something here but I don’t understand what this has to do with the topic of Linux? Sure you can install on Linux, but that’s not really a topic about Linux

Money for old rope-pilot

Microslop has been a rotten cesspool since it’s birth. 50 years of consistently fucking over it’s customers, then promising to change followed by more screwing so please forgive me when I say to this Don’t… Talk … Shit …

Man alive. Play a record

Have used Linux for work (desktop and server) for 15+ years. At home I’ve got Linux for my servers but desktop had stuck to windows because of gaming and audio production software.

The experience in gaming is amazing now on Linux for me and while audio is still quite iffy it’s workable.

I have never liked Microsoft so binning them off at home completely is something I’ve always wanted to do

Happy Endings
