People should stop posting StatCounter, it's so unreliable and noisy.

But I am surprised by the Cloudflare numbers, which are a lot more reliable, and still have Linux at ~5% worldwide, which is still higher than I thought! And even ~6.5% for the past two months, though I imagine that's a seasonality effect - maybe Linux users in the northern hemisphere are more likely to use their computers at home during summer? :P

From my point of view, a good reason would be that €50 bank notes are annoying :P A lot of the transactions I make are far less than that, and shopkeepers get annoyed at needing a lot of change for me and then not being able to use my €50 note as change for other customers.

Another reason might just be to make it less practical to rob them, i.e. the same amount of money taking up more space? There have been quite a few plofkraken (explosive robberies?) in recent years.

Random unsolicited feedback from a reader without specific comic expertise:

::: spoiler spoiler I'd ditch the "You're sweet" - the pun is clear enough without it already :) :::

This is nice work @jrahmatzadeh@blogs.gnome.org, and if there's a recommended template for new extensions, it should probably include an AGENTS.MD with this, or at least with a pointer to this.

I don't get what the problem is with writing code that works on multiple GNOME shell versions at once though, rather than individual ports for every version. The former feels like it could make maintenance a lot easier if an extension developer wants to support multiple GNOME versions?

Edit: I see that there's gnome-extensions create --interactive that can create a skeleton extension from a template. That would be the perfect place for this, probably.

on Ladder [Kamvret] · c/comicstrips · 13 pts · 12d

A step ladder is called a step ladder because of the steps, but here the author subverted that obvious meaning to have "step" mean that they are part of different families related by marriage, and then inserting that into the stepbrother trope I linked to above, resulting in an even more ridiculous situation than in the porn plots, since humans and ladders usually aren't sexually interested in each other.
