Dropbox has always been a bit of a mystery to me. Always eating resources, can't provide changelogs, and terrible customer service. File sharing services are a dime a dozen now, heck Nextcloud is free and does more than Dropbox. No one

Actually they do, but those sales people will make sure payoffs are part of the purchase, and even if you get fired for calling out the conflict of interests, it is usually harder for an honest employee to fight a multi-billion dollar compa

Are you serious? You have to link me to a GitHub issue where they still don't clearly explain their license, and then if you read the comments you can see tons of other concerns that they never address. It is almost like they want to k

Well, usually poor resource utilization means bad design all around. You can always buy more powerful hardware, but it won't fix something that is fundamentally flawed. Text editors are very personal to me. I spend a lot of time learni

Neovim is mostly still Vim, but with some built-in extensions and packaged plugins. Vim is still great if you don't mind managing a few preferred plugins yourself, and (at least on Arch) it comes packaged with some pretty sane defaults

Can't speak for op of comment, but everyone suggests this... yes I've tried it and no I really don't want it no matter how many times it is mentioned. I am happy with Vim for myself now, and am glad that I moved beyond the bl

I cancelled my Spotify premium membership after being a customer for over 2 years, because they refuse to actually develop their application. Their music discovery and playlist radio functionality are horrific right now. They are on repeat

Many non-religious groups do exist, but depending on where you live they are not the norm. I am happy to try to start my own non-profit, but I also realize that I have to be careful of what time I commit personally right now until I can fin

You have some of the best ideas. I would love to get more involved in helping with programs like these. Substance abuse can be the most challenging to approach. From my experience, some people are on a self-destructive path and they forget

I resonate the feeling and agree that people need to also take responsibility, however I see people all the time making poor choices, and it isn't just poor people. If you're down on your luck, that $6 coffee ritual may be not sou

Thank you for sharing your story. I feel so much empathy towards you and your family, and I'm sorry to hear about your father feeling so bitter towards the system afterwards. I don't blame him. When I see people screaming and walk

@gaius: Now I'm blocked from responding to you. The only source code I could find for Microsoft, is for debugging, and doesn't give you access to all the source. You have to use a smart card that they send as well. Here is the lic

You mean, like if I were to go buy a laptop pretty much anywhere, and they just include Windows in the laptop price??? I don't see how that is any different. I can go buy an unlocked Android phone at Costco for $199 that has Android 7.
