It's more polished because the (almost) entire team of OpenOffice left and created the LibreOffice project, AFAIK. Same as what happened with MySQL -> MariaDB.

I have removed my Google Analytics tracking code from my sites, and have abandoned Disqus in favour of a self-hosted commenting solution. Since I am not setting any cookies, I have also removed the EU Cookie Policy script (which, ironically

Did I say something wrong? I mean that it is only natural that like minded people seeks one another, and group up in clusters. It is human nature. Yes, it's expensive, but there are also opportunity, and humans are opportunistic creatu

Good advice, but loaded with assumptions that may or may not be true. The original article, and the response, are two views of the "problem" at opposite ends of the spectrum (so to speak). Depending on the context, both are right.

I agree. But there is one difference between watching a crappy TV show and playing a crappy Video Game: You are actively engaged in playing the game. No matter how trivial it is. Of course, if you pick a more challenging game, like an R

Yes, I actually do have this backwards .. in more than one way ..:P Sorry, I was thinking of Lua for Qt5 .. That was silly! And, it is a pity about PySide, it was a neat project. :(

PyQt5 does not seem to be maintained. The last couple of times I checked it, it was pretty dead: one maintainer with no time.

If you want to own (and control) your site's comments, then Isso is for you. It is that simple. :) Your server, your data. Disqus is offering you a free service for a reason: they want to make good use of the data that your site commen

Don't worry about Juvia. Project has been dead for years..

This is an Open Source and self-hosted alternative to Disqus. It is not a product. And, as such: doesn't need to market itself. Use it if you want to. Or not. I wanted to use it, but couldn't make it run - I am not a Python guy, s

Ubuntu - Canonical in general - is not a good representative of "Open Source". They don't contribute back to Debian, don't cooperate with the Gnome project (Unity?), and there are other options out there. They are good

I have been following Lazarus / Free Pascal for years - and, as it turns out, started using it in earnest one week ago. It's great! :)

Do you even know what RAD means? 20 years ago, RAD meant that you could drop visual components on a form, add some events, set some properties, and hit the green run button to compile and run it. A very visual way of programming. QtCreator

I am actively using Lazarus. It is not split into anything other than Free Pascal (the language) and Lazarus (IDE and visual component library). Don't blame the forks, mods and spin offs on Lazarus / Free Pascal. It is a sign th

Lazarus and Free Pascal has made me return to the wonderful world of RAD and Object Pascal. :) I was a Delphi addict in the 90's. After Borland screwed up Delphi - including the Kylix disaster - and since I am now a full time Linux u

There is something really wrong about Biicode. They seem to be way too focused on marketing and buzz words and popularity instead of just letting the software do the talking.

People want instant gratification... Seriously. Use TextMate if you want a quick to learn, but limited, editor.

UndoTree is a true godsend! It basically shows a graphic over the undo tree and lets you navigate it. Really handy. :)
