Windows 11 market share falls despite Microsoft ad blitz | Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market (www.theregister.com)

Despite Microsoft's push to get customers onto Windows 11, growth in the market share of the software giant's latest operating system has stalled, while Windows 10 has made modest gains, according to fresh figures from Statcounter.

This is not the news Microsoft wanted to hear. After half a year of growth, the line for Windows 11 global desktop market share has taken a slight downturn, according to the website usage monitor, going from 35.6 percent in October to 34.9 percent in November. Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market by just under a percentage point to 61.8 percent.

The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade. The stats also revealed a small drop in the market share of its Edge browser, despite relentlessly plugging the application in the operating system.

Me: Debian? Fedora? Why are you making up words as if I speak other languages you made up???

#include

int main() { std::cout << "no, this is a different language" << std::endl; return 0; }

(All joking aside, the content was made for someone who already knew what a Distro was. If you want to know, feel free to ask for more info)

A lot of the time I'll "get" jokes. I don't find most of them funny, but I get the joke. Then someone will accuse me of not being smart enough to get the joke. It's like "no no, I got the punchline.....it's just not funny." Then I get insulted that they think I'm dumb.

With your joke........yeah........I actually am too dumb to get it. Part of me thinks Lemmy had some script error, and part of me thinks you're making some script based joke.......in any event, give that joke some wings, because it just flew over my head.
