Actually a bit surprising. I'd think emulator nerds would be using Linux at significantly higher rates than normal and I think 10% is the latest (optimistic) general adoption rate.

    Maybe Linux users turn off telemetry?

    I assume this is largely based off of downloads instead of in-program telemetry

    Maybe I should rtfa.

    It's based off API update checks. Not telemetry or downloads. It makes sense tho, more windows machines means more windows downloads.

    I think most users don't even know/care about this.

    A quick search for "how to play this PS3 Game on pc", a click on the first YouTube video and that's it.

    Well yeah... There are vastly more Windows users, unfortunately.

    In other news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and Trump raped E. Jean Carroll.

    Old people can't be held responsible for incontinence. You wouldn't call out my grandma like that, thats would just be bullying.

    But you know exactly what trump can be held responsible for - being a child rapistand murderer - which is far far worse than shitting oneself, yet you left that out.

    Typical right wing propaganda ops tactics of switching attention from something worse to something else thats bad.

    You are absolutely right.

    But maybe people who are old enough to be experiencing incontinence should not be running the government.

    If someone like that is running the government gloves are off make fun of them horrendously until they get the message and retire or die.

    It is our duty to make them as uncomfortable as possible.

    But agree with all the other points for sure.

    As far as I know there is no correlation between incontinence and mental capability.

    I can see myself voting for bernie sanders even if he were to be incontinent.

    In the case of trump it just so happens that he is both incontinent and mentally incapable.

    I'd rather we use consistent logic, there is enough dirt that we can throw at him to make him uncomfortable, which is worse and can not be argued about. Using fallacies as if they were arguments is what the fascist do.

    10% Linux users seems good and in line with other recent reports from Cloudflare that shows the same share in the US by filtering out bots.

    This is good and will only keep growing.

    90 seems low.

    I can finally finish Mirror's Edge on my (MX) linux desktop, because the game disk I have has a bug at some level, running perfectly with an NVidia 1660 Ti.

    Thanks a lot to the people who had made this possible !
