That's Google - the corporate equivalent of a hyperactive 10 year old boy.

That's Google - the corporate equivalent of a hyperactive 10 year old boy.
- madez 11y agoDon't get me started on this. A hyperactive 10 year old boy is still better than the overly jealous dictator that is Apple or the greedy fraudulent impertinent that is Valve. It seems to be normal that successful companies from the United States of Central North America lose common sense of how to treat people.
- ethbro 11y agoWow, those were some oddly specific choices. No mention of Microsoft or Oracle (to name a few of the more popular straw men), or any of the rest of the globe?
- madez 11y agoThese were no straw men. For both I have specific reasons for why I call them as I did. I don't interact directly with Microsoft or Oracle, so there is not much I can complain about. Though, I've heard a lot. Feel free to add more.
- neonfreon 11y agoTo be fair, it only takes a smidgen of hyperactivity to forget about the Linux desktop market.
- zxcvcxz 11y agoOnly if the company consists of people who aren't developers. For a while google didn't even allow windows on site, and if you look at stackoverflow statistics you'll see that Linux has as much usage as OS X amongst programmers.
- bad_user 11y agoAs if synchronizing files is useful only for the desktop.
- neonfreon 11y agoI was under the impression that the missing Google Drive application for Linux is a desktop application. Is that not the case? What uses for it, beyond the desktop, are you referring to?
- moonbug 11y ago"Desktop"'s a red herring in this context, really. What's missing is a GDrive daemon that does automatic syncing. The closest there is is https://github.com/odeke-em/drive https://github.com/odeke-em/drive , which requires manual push/pull.
