You and me both. It's not obvious up front that this is a GA competitor if you just click on the link and read the blog post. You do have to delve a bit deeper, unless you know who Plausible.io is.

The App Store in itself is by no means a killer app if all the apps available on the App Store are turds. I'm not saying they are - I'm an iPad Pro owner and user and there's a few apps I use on a regular basis - Shapr 3D mos

Yet they do... GIMP? Inkscape? Blender? Libre Office? Firefox?? Chrome?? I'm actually not sure what you're suggesting. There are no great open source projects outside those written for development? That's clearly false.

No, it's not a problem. I don't remember when I last "wasted time synchronising my encrypted database" because Bitwarden does it behind the scenes without my knowledge.

Is it not expected that when you pay money for a service then the performance should be good? Good service should be the default. If the service is outstanding then that is when we should start giving a bonus. US tipping etiquette has nothi

People use maps for daily activities all the time. Not to find where they're trying to get to, but for how to get somewhere more quickly - ie. public transport directions, or if it's quicker to walk than go by bus/train/

Why do people use hand saws and chisels when powered table saws, compound saws and biscuit joiners are available to us? As someone who shoots film, there are a number of reasons, one being the asthetic you get from film that you can't

I can't say I experience any preaching by vegetarians/vegans. Perhaps I see the odd advert on a website or TV, or occasional news articles but the vegan/vegetarian friends/associates I have, never have them preaching at
