Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how It's not a typo. Linux's desktop share is growing, according to the US government's records.

What is the #Linux -based client operating system market share? I was reading SJVN's write up on ZDNET and noticed that if you look beyond "desktop" in the US data at analytics.usa.gov, Linux-based operating sytems are actually over 25% of the clients accessing US federal websites.

Mikeal was an expert collaborator. When we would discuss something, he'd throw out an "impossible idea" and then talk himself into a path by working with a few of the right people. And then he'd set off and do it. Mikeal was a force that defied Newton's 3rd law. He will be missed by many.

Secure Minions: private collaboration between Ollama and frontier models Β· Ollama Blog Secure Minions is a secure protocol built by Stanford's Hazy Research lab to allow encrypted local-remote communication.

This is very impressive, and disruptive of current #AI architectures. It feels like the disruption timescale is not years, but weeks. Secure enclaves on a cloud hosted GPU system with local LLM processing is a huge opportunity. I'm also a huge user+fan of Ollama
