They approached this from a noob perspective and the benchmarks seemed pretty rough. The blog has an overall positive tone on linux which is nice even though it got murdered in performance.

I'd like to see a follow up with optimizations, get some of the linux community involved to help setup an optimized linux test bench to go toe to toe with their "golden image" windows 11 benchmark setup.

They benchmarked a few distros against each other and it was very samey which I expected, the real difference is between the drivers/kernel and desktop environment since most distros come very light in terms of installed software.

I've tried a few peertube instances, peertubenz tilvids, makertube and a few others. I always run into a problem that I dont experience on mastodon or lemmy. I will follow a link and I will try and subscribe to that person from my peertube account and I wont be able to because whatever peertube instance im on doesnt federate.

I get not wanting to federate with every random server but I would have expected a decent network to have formed.

Maybe I have just been signing up to the wrong instances or am doing something wrong.

I've been pretty interested lately in where New Zealanders are talking online. This survery has a lot of interesting data and seems to show that vast majority of New Zealanders are on facebook over other platforms. That sucks because I do not and will not ever use facebook and cant view any of the discussion because it requires an account.

The survey seemed to show that NZers are feeling less and less optimisic about the internet with the 2024 data showing only 74% think the positives outweight the negatives compared to 90% in 2019.

I was very relieved to see that the results show NZers really dont like AI and think its very concerning.

I was surprised at the amount of people who never use SMS and I am thinking of getting rid of SMS as well and seeing how that goes.

The trends that looked at what specifically people cared about showed people care about the right things but its super blackpilling to see these numbers show people care about these things but their behavior reflects the complete opposite. Like 60-70% of people putting data privacy as their #2 issue while facebook being the most used site.
