Saw the data here, on Statcounter: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/united-states-of-america. But now that I have searched it, it seems that maybe this spike is related to bots masquerading as Linux traffic https://www.pcworld.com/article/3204830/linux-didnt-actually-hit-10-percent-market-share-blame-bots.html.

Who knows, but indeniably, Linux is gaining attraction progressively.

This. Linux use on the USA is now over 10% in computers. And growing. I hope Europe follows the same path, but it is slow. Growing also. At home we all have ditched Windows years ago.

Yes, many people have to use VPN to use Internet without problems when there is a football match. It is sickening.

AMEN (hola!!!)

Here the block depends mainly on who is your Internet provider. If you are with Movistar, O2 or Digi, you are fucked and can,t see many webs while there is a football match (during winter nearly every day and all weekend). I have Orange, no problem at all. I suppose that Yoigo users also are safer (same group as Orange). With Vodafone, no idea. This, apart from La Liga fuckery, has algo something about provider incompetence. All providers are obliged to this block, but some of them don,t discriminate, while some others do.

What could possibly go wrong?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have had one at Strato (German, now part of Ionos), for several years. Not a single problem with them, and prices are quite good.

I wish Spain did the same, but Microsoft is very present, almost exclusively, in the national and regional administrations. There used to be more Linux, for example in education, but know, Microsoft everywhere. Sigh

Lol 😂😂

If I see anything on sale, will post it. Maybe the offer will only last a couple of days or a week, and if we only do it a day, it would get lost.

On this day, as well as in the 28th of December, when we celebrate the Spanish equivalent, I don, t believe anybody or anything!!!

Good April’s Fool joke!

As a spaniard, can confirm. France and Italy are following. We announced this before them, on Monday morning.

Yes, artic is only cotton (sorry me head didn,t process the wool part, my bad) and regarding thunders love, I use to buy it in shops here for 15 the cheapest and 25 the most expensive ones. I had no idea that were that expensive on the web!!! I bought my last pair at 20 at a shop in Galicia last month, 80% wool.

But yes, the best one quality-price balance are Mestizaje. We have several pairs at home!

From Spain:

Thunders love - https://www.thunderslove.com/

Calcetines Mestizaje - https://calcetinesmestizaje.com/

Miss Calcetín - https://misscalcetin.es/

The Artic Bay - https://thearcticbay.com/

Personally, my favourites are from the two first brands, first one a bit of “luxury” socks, the other one more for everyday but veeerry good one.

Boost as well, used Sync but now it is a mess

Time to act like China and not bend to him.
