What they have written is they are going to force a change. It's very clear. As soon as we have moved most people over, we will force you to move. You don't even have to read between the lines, it's explicit.
"We won't force it for two years". We are gonna force it in two years.
"We won't until the vast minority" we will as soon as most people have moved.
- smilekzs 4y agoExactly. See how Firefox shoved the borderless tabs down everyone's throat. The same playbook really.
- oblio 4y agoSoftware developers as developers: "Why does that random guy still pay for v1??? It's 20 years old, using Java 5 and old crap, let's force them to upgrade!!!!" Software developers as users: "Don't force me to upgrade" The hypocrisy is tangible and close to mind boggling.
- Spivak 4y agoAs Devs: “I don’t want to maintain the old version. Don’t force work on me.” As Users: “I don’t want to upgrade to the new version. Don’t force work on me.” It’s not hypocritical to want your cake and eat it too. It’s only hypocritical if you think it’s wrong for companies to force people to upgrade and then doing that. Not liking when your parents forced you to eat vegetables and making your kids eat vegetables isn’t hypocrisy.
