This is terrible. I use Linux at home, and Linux has always had difficulty printing. I deliberately bought a Brother laser printer with Google Cloud Print to avoid these issues. It also makes it easy to print from my phone. Had I known thi

none. You'll look at it once, and then never again. It's not a good use of resources. Still, this is targeting the average user, so it looks cool.

There are rumours of a Steam Cloud [0] IMO this would be the best of both worlds. I don't want to purchase games from Google that will only work on Stadia. The ideal solution is to purchase games on Steam that you can play either on a

Right now I use Ulysses on my work Mac, JotterPad on Android and Typora/Caret on Linux. All sync'd on Google Drive. Ulysses is far and away better. I wish there was some equivalent on Android or Linux. I.e., native, fast, pretty,

I use PulseSMS. Unless Google quickly allows third party apps to integrate, third party apps are all doomed. Isn't this an anti-trust problem?

That's actually the hard part. Video streaming is easy, and done with CDNs.

It is not ready yet. I hope it one day can compete with Plex, but I wonder if a community OSS project like this will take off and create high quality native apps per platform.

It is. But I spend more time at work using a Mac. I would rather use the best app for the OS. On Linux, there isn't anything as good as Ulysses.

I get that Electron is accepted as a way to do multi-OS apps. However, whenever possible, I find there are better OS specific apps. As I use Linux and Mac, I find the best app for each. For example, on my work mac I use Ulysses, and sync to

I would definitely pay. I paid for sublime and intellij. I mostly use Linux, and wish they had some of the beautiful apps that the Mac did. To me beauty is worth paying for.

Hang on a minute. From the article, 'Mark Forkner, the chief technical pilot for the 737 Max...' then later, 'Forkner told Gustavsson that MCAS was “running rampant in the sim on me,” referring to simulator tests of the aircr

Exactly. As an Android user, I always used to laugh when (10 years ago) people would upgrade to an iPhone from a flip phone and say "the best phone I've ever had". Ridiculous :).

So who is this for? Blog post says this is for people who want to test stuff before it lands in RHEL. Valuable to enterprise hardware/software companies etc.. But, if it's sort of a rolling RHEL, then this could be excellent for p

Excellent news. I don't need to find a new Podcast app :). It was fairly obvious things would come to this. Either accept major user backlash, or provide lifetime. I'm glad they made the right choice, I just wish they hadn't

Not true. The webapp was purchasable for $9. Now customers will lose access after the 3 year grace period, and it will only be usable by subscribers.

From the URL: >>I paid for this app in the past, will I still have access to all the features I paid for? >>Most certainly! We aren't locking any existing features behind a paywall. This is a blatant lie. They're locki

That would make sense if this app had always been a subscription. But they acquired the customers who hate subscriptions and then flipped. Not great.

>If you like what you see, we'll ask you for $9. Just once. They promised something they shouldn't have promised. No excuses here. This isn't good news for people who bought the app.

I used Wordpress for years. It was such a hassle constantly getting emails about patching. In the end I got fed up and moved to hugo hosted on netlify. Fantastic. Zero maintenance.

What a mess. Product mistakes like this generally show that the company is either desperate, or unaware of their customers. I use xfs on Arch, and dumped Dropbox for Google Drive (with Insync) the second they made this announcement. It woul

I moved from Dropbox (when they dropped xfs Linux support) to Google Drive. Fine so far.

Respectfully, I think you are being overly optimistic. I worked at a company acquired by HP several years ago. They bought us because we were beating them, and yet, they still thought they knew better, and intefered. You can guess how thing

I wonder if the timing of this is significant. For people wanting a rock solid, free, stable distro, Debian and CentOS are two of the top choices. Even though RHEL 8 released, CentOS 8 still isn't out. I'm running CentOS 7 on my s
