Difference is you don't have to continuously maintain a movie after release (except probably multiple sequels) You still have to maintain software after release, and it's forever.

As an alternative I highly recommend Fork, a life/time saver when working in Windows, it's a high quality (and native) Git GUI client. Guitar is also good too, and are thankfully both native! [0] Fork - https://fork.dev

It's worth noting that Mozilla is not a very good privacy advocate since they are a puppet to Google, a surveillance capitalist. This fancy looking site is pretty unhelpful, and also has sinister tracking analytics which does not help

This is extremely concerning as somebody looking to move or build on top of GCP for the long term. I wonder why anyone would choose GCP if outages are occurring on a regular basis.

I agree that the masses use this, but I'm not sure that you can compare email to WhatsApp, maybe a fair comparison would be _instant_ messengers. Also open source?, I doubt it.

by kgraves 7y ago
Disagree, the masses don't use this software, I know nobody who uses this. Plus, the technology behind it is already in WhatsApp. Although it is a privacy based, (good for _some_ people) I don't see why the masses would use this i
