Linux user share on Steam ended 2024 on a high note
Valve have put up the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for December 2024, which shows that the Linux share ended 2024 in December with a nice boost.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Windows 11 is *such* a shitshow, and Proton is such a game changer, I suspect (ok, #hope) that it's the start of a prolonged trend.
2025 as the Year of Linux Desktop? Obviously not, but maybe we the needle starts moving this year

the "echo" variant has the benefit that we can pipe the output to another script:
my_function | grep foobar
This way we can treat a function like any other Linux command call, which makes scripting much more consistent.

Oh, the history of history and Star Trek!
Star Trekโs Cold War
While America was fighting on the ground, the Federation was fighting in space.
By Tom Nichols
To be sure, some Star Trek episodes were just fantasy and fluff. (โSpockโs Brain,โ in which the first officer has his brain stolen by a planet of gorgeous but apparently daft women, is often regarded as the worst episode, but there are several contenders.) Others commented on American social problems, such as racism, with thuddingly obvious symbolism: โLet That Be Your Last Battlefieldโ describes an endless war between two races on the same planet, one black on the right side of their body, one black on the left side, and โฆ well, you get the picture.
But to appreciate the Cold War setting of Star Trek, you need only to understand that the Earth-led United Federation of Planets (a free and democratic association committed to equality among all beings) was NATO...

Oooh! Today's standards. I've gone through a couple generations of young people saying, "They didn't know better back then." Having lived through those times, they did indeed know better but chose to ignore it. We are going through this right now with the MAGA and Techbro lot. Twenty years in the future people may say they didn't know better. They most assuredly do.
Trek could be both enlightened and abyssmally sexist when it came to female characters. Some portrayals I found upsetting even as a kid without any understanding of women's rights. Did I still love Star Trek? Yes, I did. But I did wish it could have been better. JK Rowling has this same problem.

Tesla replaced laid off US workers with foreign workers using H-1B visas that Musk want to increase
Elon Musk Wants Indentured Servitude Employees
H1B are primarily a vehicle for US corporations to get access to cheaper foreign labor with reduced labor protections. H1B workers always live under the threat of being deported if they lose their job, which forces them to be more compliant to their corporate masters while they're here. If we really cared about improving US workers' tech skills, we'd just spend money training and educating US citizens.
