Ha like I will ever enter into dependence on another Google app.
- foxylad 14y agoI'd love to know how you posted that comment, then. Because if you've stopped using anything from Google because they ditched Reader, presumably you've also sworn off all Microsoft products (they killed Clippy!), anything from Apple (R.I.P. QuickDraw 3D), Ubuntu (oh Gnome2, how I loved thee)... And you won't be using any internet provider since they ditched gopher, or dial-up over the phone service because the bastards discontinued telex. Or maybe you could admit that you're over-reacting slightly?
- bebna 14y agoU can't get gopher over your ISP? Thats a new one!
- threepipeproblm 14y agoI suppose that would make follow if you interpreted my comment in the most uncharitable way. Microsoft used to be known for bending over backwards to maintain "backwards' compatibility. Or used to be... I am in the process of moving away from MS. They still don't kill products with millions of active users for political reasons (http://macsparky.com/blog/2013/3/the-rss-apocalypse http://macsparky.com/blog/2013/3/the-rss-apocalypse) as far as I know. But I was really referencing that I have no longer have any more desire to depend on a free product (i.e. where I "am the product"), and put myself at the mercy Google's increasing fickleness over what constitutes a viable following.
