I imagine oracles open source stuff sucks too. Those are big corps though and can just market their way out.

It's really not a usability concern. It works great. I didn't even notice until OP mentioned it (I imagine others woudlnt have noticed either but now will, thus my post)

Didn't say pretend, asked to treat zero to low budget FOSS better than we do mega corps with infinite budgets. Help adoption by not needlessly pointing out minor issues on otherwise incredible programs. I think it's fair when the

Lots of paid stuff sucks, but marketing money convinces the masses to use it. The request is that you at the very least don't help the powerful marketing budgets.

Sure, if you have a marketing budget you can do all kinds of stuff. Here, OP is marketing against the app which is already at the disadvantage of not having a marketing budget and being free (which people incorrectly associate with bad). So

I firmly believe people won't try it if they think there's even a small chance it's not the best thing out there. Again, I use Microsoft's get the facts campaign of FUD from years ago. Simple, and extremely effect and de

So, in a scenario like this, where the competition is a super mega company with effectively infinite money, I think we should all agree not to make comments like this about FOSS projects. I know that sounda crazy but here me out. One of Mic

How about the folks whose retirements are guaranteed to never happen now? The millenials are the most financially fucked group in modern history.

If you bought a house to raise your family in the past couple of years, you're toast! You're still on the hook for the absurd loan the bank gave you, interest rates are going up so your payments will too, and your house is worth l

Thank you for showing us the main problem I have with grads from certain schools: arrogant new graduates. It was just a school, man, relax, you're not actually better than other people.

Very few people get to actually try out the cell. Cubicles aren't offices. They're wire cages for moneys at the zoo. We should try having more actual offices before we declare it equal but different to the elementrary school reces

Apple and Google held back generations of children who got phones instead of computers. They did this for profit. They should be fined for contributing to the delinquency of minors. All the whining about whose sports team is best belittles

It's small enough of a code base that you can change things to suit your needs, too. Godot is definitely going to win the race long term, just like blender. People can use whatever they like, of course, but if you want future developer

I love how these companies advertise Windows 11 Pro as a feature. As if anyone would be surprised or excited for what is effectively the status quo. It'd be like being surprised or excited that it was black. Its just kinda funny. Now i
