Not from Mastodon, but from looking at the map for September: Map showing 92.09% of traffic coming from Singapore is reported as coming from Windows 7
Here’s a link to the rest of the map You’ll have to mouse over the different countries here, but regardless of whatever the heck is happening in Singapore, windows 7 is still sitting between 15-5% in other countries across Asia. and 10 is still nowhere near the “safe” levels for EoL coming up.

I can confirm Mint, specifically with the Cinnamon Desktop environment. Although I would also recommend Debian with the Cinnamon Desktop. Ubuntu has been making some pretty weird choices
latelyfor a while now. And while Mint has been trying to move it’s upstream straight to Debian, they haven’t done so yet. - Submitted 1 week ago to technology@lemmy.world | 99 comments

From my experience, AI just seems to be a lesson in overfitment. You can’t use it to do things Noone has done before. Furthermore, you only really get good responses from prompts related to Javascript

I will forever lament my windows phone. Ironically, it was the only option that didn’t need to be rooted to do custom shit. You could just screw with the registry

- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 1 month ago:
Those are all really good questions, I don’t really know the answer to. Not all coins have the wild spikes like bitcoin. Monero has been fairly stable. I haven’t listened a game before, but I’m pretty sure you can pick which currency you want to get paid in. The conversion rates would be roughly the same for crypto.
However, Valve is no stronger to imaginary digital assets that wildly fluxuate in real world value. If there was any company that could figure out how to process crypto I think it would be them.

Genuine question, but what about stable coins?

No genuinely, why not something like Monero?

Use Monero I fucking guess?
- Comment on Checkmate. 2 months ago:
In terms of the New Testament - There’s a few writers who based their stories off Macion’s Evangelion. And then some more who just made shit up for the sport of Apologetics. After that there were hundreds of scribes who poorly translated and changed the text, either by accident or on purpose.
I haven’t seen the Stylometry of the old testiment, but I’m guessing it’s almost all stolen from other regious texts. Genisis alone has two competing creation stories.
80+ authors is what I’m assuming.
