I'd say that if you're trying to find the Mint/Ubuntu/Zorin/elementary of BSD, then it's not really for you. The BSD ecosystem isn't really driven by ease of use, today they're more interested in vari

I can think of a lot of reasons why companies and startups would find it bad for their use cases tbh. It's hamstrung by microsoft licensing and ecosystem, and while building tools for enterprisey stuff is great, web-style startups are

Not open, not transparent, makes a bunch of claims without backing them up. If this was a side project, I'd be more forgiving. If it was someone's attempt at building their own signal, and was open source, and wasn't being bi

A more plausible explanation was that the cable strain of not using a specialty cable was also an issue. Look at where the cable attaches to the mouse on a conventional mouse - it's usually very reinforced internally or extenernally

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Tumblr allowing adult content would probably get it removed from app stores. Only a few major apps get away with it, and when they're gone, they're gone.
