Microsoft required PC manufacturers to have IE installed along with Windows, which is shitty, but not nearly as shitty as preventing users from installing Netscape, which they did not do.

Switch to another phone then. Easy peasy. Why would you buy a phone with this known limitation if you care about it?

No, only interested in in-person gigs after too much WFH the past few years. Of course, everyone has their price -- for enough money I could be convinced to do it for another couple years

I do think sometimes about moving to a google for business account, but the likelihood of losing access to a google account seems pretty low, all things considered. It's easy to forget that here on hacker news, certain probabilities, d

I use google drive and google photos. Photos go in photos, everything else goes in drive. Within google drive I follow a getting-things-done-ish approach. I have two folders at the root -- one for general filing, one for current projects. I

I'll grant that studios may have the ability to do what the article says they want to do -- after all the WGA has only 11k members. But let's just take accountants -- there are 1.4 million according to the BLS. Realistically there

Wouldn't that be a good thing? Armchair regulators have been booing the Adobe acquisition on the grounds of "something something competition" -- this seems to prove that yes, indeed, great design tools can still be created in
