IMO it's strange that people use cloud-based password managers. Companies like 1Password have all your passwords in their cloud. So they are an enormous target. I use enpass, and am in charge of my own syncing and storing in the datast

I get the thought, you can build something now that is guaranteed to have a fixed cost, or you can risk going with a free product that might surprise you, causing you to rush to replace the solution with a tight deadline. Just look at all t

Exactly. No information is better than inaccurate information.

Seems like it's not a replacement then. If you can't send from the domain, you'd be sending from your gmail, which is no good.

I use Migadu too, but currently use Gmail as the client (Migadu over IMAP). I do that because pricing on storage is terrible. Migadu used to have unlimited storage, but made all their plans worse (and more expensive) during the pandemic. No

You don't have to have the alias set up ahead of time, but you do need DNS set up for every subdomain you want, which means you can't just do it for every signup/account

So the focus is moving to GTK+3, which came out >10 years ago... GTK4 is already out. GIMP is massively underfunded, but I suppose that isn't really surprising.

I think LO is just too complicated. There's a reason Google Docs and Quip have done well, and it's because 99% of people don't need any of the complicated features LO offers. It would just be easier to start from scratch with

This was really surprising. Back when RHEL 7 launched, it really looked like MariaDB was going to take over from MySQL. It doesn't look that way anymore. I suspect the reason is that Maria diverged too much, and people didn't want

Sony didn't want to do this. Microsoft forced their hand. I'm sure Sony is terrified of a world where MS keeps buying up hugely popular cross platform games and shutting them off. Sony said they want to keep Bungie cross platform.

It seems crazy to me that Blizzard/Activision is worth more than Arm. I get BA has tons of world-famous games, but almost every phone on earth is Arm. Arm is taking over laptops and servers too.

I think we all signed up for a trial, thought it was cool, but didn't want to spend $100/year.

Oof, this sucks. I'd forgotten about losing all Android purchases. That totally sucks. You still need to get out though, as it will only get worse. I personally migrated by downloading and uploading over imap.

I switched to Migadu a few years ago, as I realized that having a personal account with Google Workspace was a bad idea. All Google features kept getting delayed for Workspace users. Google removed the free tier (huge red flag on its futur

Migadu is great overall. I've been using it for probably 3-4 years. I will say, they broke imap/pop without an announcement. They just silently changed the pop endpoint. I had to reach out to support to get the new endpoint. That&

He's obviously speaking as a consumer. If I was CEO of Activision/Blizzard, and I was getting millions or billions from the buyout, obviously my opinion would be different to that of the consumer that's affected by this.

I'm hopeful this continues. I'm sure it's deliberate to make GamePass seem like a killer deal. Hey, it worked for Netflix. Spend $100 on a dvd boxset of your favourite TV series, or stream it all for $10/mo

>>That's not only annoying from a consumer perspective, but it's counter-productive from the perspective of how much redundant hardware it means in the midst of a chip shortage. This is an excellent point. You can argue that

Exactly. They're going for quantity to ensure even if a bunch of stuff fails, they'll get a few hits. Sometimes all you need is a few hits.

Agree. If I were in charge at MS, I might have done this too. I can't blame them. But I imagine Sony execs are struggling to comprehend what's going on. They've done so much right in the last few years. They've built som

Microsoft is not building the future of gaming, they're buying it. Seeing a bunch of excellent third-party cross-platform games become xbox-exclusive is really sad for gamers. Microsoft has not been making money on xbox. They're n

I'm always confused when I hear reviewers say that Intel is back on top. They beat AMD's benchmarks at ~double the power. I get it's winning, but it's not a fair fight. I certainly don't want my computer to be 10% f

isn't packaging/selling going to be a problem here? Some of the apps I rely on (on my MBP) are only in the Mac AppStore.

Every company I've worked at who uses self-hosted exchange uses it because that's what they used 20 years ago. I don't know companies deliberately using it. I suppose office 365 is different. Smaller companies get a good bund

for paid apps, it's because iOS users are more willing to pay real money when compared to Android users. As for free apps, I suppose it's more complicated. For a small team of 1 dev, if that dev has iOS, then that's what they

when looking at these things, you always need to look over the long term. Sure, December wasn't great, but how was all of 2021 overall? It's also not just cost/availability, but flexibility and scalability. Most high-growth s
