Word/Excel is the defacto default across industry. It’s a monopoly. Microsoft is using their monopoly on office suite to get a competitive advantage on chat/video collaboration software. It’s like when Google uses their monopoly o

In Denmark you're only allowed to strike under certain circumstances, and primarily strikes happen every three years when collective agreements between unions and employers needs to be renewed. This makes strikes a rare happening, and

My biggest annoyance with Signal is that when I send an SMS, people with Signal on an Android will not reply back with an SMS but with a Signal message. It doesn’t make any sense that I don’t get replies on the same channel as I send. This

Yeah, immutability doesn’t seem desirable in a world with GDPR and the right to be forgotten, which requires you to support deletion.

Quality and crap can’t coexist? They should only be vetting the privacy and security of apps, and let users decide what is crap.

Danish news have never been on Google News, even though Google News launched in Sweden and Norway. Back around 2005-2006, the Danish newspapers fought hard to forbid "systematic deep linking" to their news. We're still able t
