Sorry for replying so late.
No, I’m not Brodie Robertson. 
I really do look like him.

BlueSky blocks accounts of Turkish opposition members.
It looks like Twitter, it feels like Twitter, it cooperates with fascists like Twitter.
Who expected anything else?
From Jörg Seidel @lostgen@det.social
#BlueSky blockiert Konten türkischer Oppositioneller. Es sieht aus wie #Twitter, es fühlt sich an wie Twitter, es kooperiert mit Faschisten wie Twitter.
Wer hatte etwas anderes erwartet?

I’ve said it a MILLION times at least, and that is the bios should of stayed where the OS could not write toit. At one time you booted, the bios found your hardware, passed that info to the OS and unless you went directly into the bios you could not write to it.

As much as I love plasma, honestly its getting farther and farther from having raw usability in mind. I may not make it to plasma 7 in terms of usage. TDE is looking better and better.

Here’s an interesting perspective on this popularization of Linux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoGRXPVH27g

@zoeruda Thank you for sharing, those are for sure rather unpopular points of views, which make them so important!
I know these perspectives for a long time. Back in the days at University (until 2015) I had several interesting conversations with the Professor specialized for OSes and we talked about the issues if Linux goes mainstream.
My point was: Many Distros might fall until then but some will survive but changed, although you’ll ever have the “wild west area” of Distros within the Linux realm, the point where I’m looking at LFS, Gentoo, ArchLinux and perhaps way more which I simply don’t know (never been a big distro hopper ^^).
His point was: Partially agreeing with mine, but with some additions.
- Kernel related things might still get pulled into the “wild west distros” and harm them in a way
- Structural things as well. SystemD might be an example for that.
- Extreme niching, considering LFS, even most Linux cracks don’t even dare to work with it. Might might reduce the count of ppl experimenting with Linux in general.
His points weren’t bad et all but I’m not convinced yet. The video kinda scratches those points although it is more on the philosophical side of the matters than my conversation with the Professor. And the philosophical aspect is actually pretty obvious, the whole (at least western) society is getting pushed to efficiency, even up to inhumane amounts.
Considering:
ancient school systems were kids were shaped not educated, although we know that’s an issue,
environments with hierarchy over competence, although this concept always fails,
the trend to substitute the human being for AI/Robots, although currently it seems it grasps for tasks which ain’t inconvenient for ppl and already failing the promise (I bet this AI crap is a huge bubble on the markets, like .com ^^). Considering AI Art vs digital Art.
Those aspects are reflecting into a system developed by affected ppl and almost everyone is.
Last year I achieved something big for me, and yes it is getting on a rather personal note here, I could move in a big log house far off to the next town, in the woods within Alps. I’m on 1300m sea level and you need gravel tires and AWD to even be able to drive to my house.
Sure I have tech, I have fast internet, I have solar panels and I have an automated central heating system (fired by wood of course ^^) but, I can switch them off (and the internet) at any time and I have true calmness and peace within seconds. I decide on my own if I want to be “informed” or not, I decide if I need tech today or not. I’m not anti-tech by any means but having the choice improved my mental health in an incredible amount. And yes, I have days when the tech is off. I don’t plan them, I decide after having my breakfast. Freedom and peace kinda goes hand in hand, I don’t need to be efficient but sufficient, I don’t need to hustle, but to achieve my goals, I don’t need to cater but to watch out for opportunities. And I’m not a rich man!
I hope this makes sense, and especially as an example on how Linux will change, although I’m sure there will be some spots were you’ll find the wild west distros even 20 years in the future. Like - against any means and odds - I found an remote location within a country with a high population density (Austria).

You’re making some valid point there, IMO. Some colleagues of mine have smart homes now, mostly because they think it’s fun to play around with. However, everything breaks when the internet goes down or even if their ISP screws up. I like to be able to choose whether or not I want to turn on my modem and router, and to turn it all off when I’m done. Not just in order to save energy, but rather to be in control.

I’ve had no internet since last Thursday 
Things are now sorted again
Long story short, more applications running under GNOME 49 Mutter will be applicable for direct scanout now and thus enjoying better performance and efficiency.
