People are fallible, simple as that. People fall for all kinds of cons all the time. Sometimes they want to believe, sometimes they have their own incentives, sometimes they specifically seek destructive scenarios. I'm sure there are o

ONLYOFFICE supports this. The webservice they host supports different "storage backends", which can be something they offer, or Dropbox, or your own Nextcloud instance, etc.

Most of these statements are false. Linux on the desktop is a reality. I'm on one, it's my main OS, I even play my games on it. It having bugs is nothing special. Other systems have them as well. Windows is not seamless at all. An

ONLYOFFICE comes to mind, although the "Europeanness" of it can be up for debate. Promises pretty good compatibility with MS formats! AGPL licensed too, which I think is a plus. Free personal tier, which they host themselves, simi

To elaborate, yes, Jetbrains allows for this, but the employer might not. At my company, personal licensed software are up for individual approval.

Indeed they do. It's a farce that schools, governments use MS Office and treat the document formats as a standard, because they are too volatile to work like that. But alas, here we are. The phenomenon I describe exist and it doesn&#x2

People usually need one major thing out of their Office software: the ability to open and save Office documents from other people. LibreOffice is not there, nor will it ever be, because at the end of the day, it's the user's risk

It's a bad saying. There are, and have been for a long time, many counter-examples. In case of television, people pay for it and they are "the product" as well. In case of Free Software, it's free, and the users are not

I tried several over the years, specifically looking for a good out of the box experience, GUI-first usage, and one that's stable over time, and after upgrades. Zorin OS fit the bill the most. I think the landing page is good as well.

I completely agree. I see this point in cloud too, and this is really missing from my original comment. Cloud is a huge enabler, and basically 0 upfront cost.

I have tried several, and liked none of them. I'm currently on Geary, but it's lacking in functionality, and it has things like search results being a bit different upon each of my searches. Starred messages cannot be shown on top

I don't think you can simulate an experience, in a way that it ends up being profound. Reality is always more complex than our understanding, because understanding works by selecting, limiting information. So what these simulations oft

Art is not just about the thing itself, it can be about the context of the creation, and the viewer too. "Outsider art" is about the context of the creation. So without knowing who made the art, it's impossible, or impractica
