Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%
  • Windows decline has nothing to do with any of the actual features.

    It is declining because fewer people are buying PCs anymore. Every one is using a mobile device or tablet.

    This is also the reason they are squeezing windows harder to make up for the down turn.

  • A cool guide to the top 10 global economies over time (1960 to 2024).
  • This visualization is not great at telling the story.

    This graph is made using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_largest_historical_GDP

    Its less that Canada was doing nothing and more that India and Brazil are doing better and since Canada sits near the bottom of the top 10 is gets edged out when another country in the 10-15 position has a good year.

  • For example what is it about Palestine that is driving the current set of protests that the last 5 years in Ethiopia lacked?

    In this case I would assume it's the fact that many western nations are involved with Israel in some way.
