🚨 NEW VIDEO: The Windows Exodus Has Begun.

2025 was the breaking point. Forced hardware retirement and intrusive AI have sparked a mass migration to GNU/Linux. In this video, I explore:

📈 The data behind the 3.20% Steam high.

The Windows Exodus Has Begun. (And the Data Proves It)

For decades, “The Year of the Linux Desktop” was treated as a tech world punchline. But as we enter 2026, the data shows the laughter has stopped. Between th...

OS: daily driving #Linux for ~2 years.

Email: #Proton for ~6 years, #Tuta for ~1 year (recently switched my business to Tuta)

Password Manager: Proton Pass for most things. Self hosted #Bitwarden for my homeland stuff.

Search: Used #DuckDuckGo and #StartPage for a long time but recently moved to a self hosted instance of #SearXNG

Messenger: Using both #WhatsApp & #Signal.

Lately I’ve been realizing that I probably made a (small but important) mistake when choosing Proton Mail over @Tutanota Mail.

I truly respect and like both European companies, but what I’ve been noticing, and deeply appreciating, is how strong, healthy, and direct the relationship between Tuta and its users is. They communicate, they discuss, they listen.

It actually reminds me a lot of the @Vivaldi browser team, including @jon himself. And that kind of attitude is priceless, especially when it’s combined with such a clear stance on privacy & security, AI, and user-first values. That combination is simply top-tier.

I recently noticed Vivaldi starting some cooperation with Proton. Personally, I’d much rather see a collaboration with Tuta.

Rooting for you. Rooting for both teams (actually all three). Absolutely fantastic work.

Yesterday I discovered that Tuta Calendar supports importing for multi-day events, while Proton Calendar doesn't.

@Tutanota well done!

Unfortunately #Proton chose to leave Mastodon since they got more pushback here than on other platforms whenever they stepped outside of the image they portrayed. Thus they sadly won't see your apt post.

(I'm still a Proton Visionary customer though, but even as such they didn't want to admit to why they left the Fediverse)

Gute Entscheidung.
Ein Teil der Proton Drive Daten liegen ja auch schon in Frankreich.

WE HAVE ALMOST SAVED GAMING.
Or have we? Can we still save it?

All it would have taken was a million signatures from EU citizens.

Don't we have a million gamers in the EU who are eligible to vote?

Hele, jako takhle - já vim, že je těžký ten nákup položit na zem, ale když už jsem si dal tu práci a našetřil na lak asi za padesát litrů, nechtěl by sis ty zasraný hovado dávat věci na střechu svýho auta?!

Finanční kompenzaci se samozřejmě nebránim

Pomalu, ale jistě.. Ještě tomu pár vrstev chybí :)
