Well, I said "has been," as in, in-the-process! I'm not sure why the staggered rollout, maybe there's strategic reasons certain ones will never have a free non-commercial license. But so far they've been consistentl

I'm super happy JetBrains has been opening up all their editors to offer free access for non-commercial use. I've never made any money off of my occasional side projects, so I could never justify the cost to pay for a license when

Microsoft infamously is adding AI to Windows to constantly watch your screen and people understandably are not super excited for it.

Every once in a while they'll bump the minimum SDK version or whatever other upload requirements, so if you do that you may have to tweak a few other things to stay compliant, at which point it seems like their system is working as the

On top of the news headlines being shoved in your face everywhere in Windows, they do the same with stocks, showing you trade values of random stocks in various places which I can't help but find hilarious. I think they're trying

Unless we're just waiting on someone to figure out another genius workaround, that's the case, yes. Macs are not Linux, for better and for worse. To be honest it seems crazy at this point an overflow for menu bar items isn't

You should know at some point in the past year or so it was silently sold to a shady company which makes me VERY wary for something I gave screen recording permissions to. I'd never install Bartender on my machine again.
