I just checked the link on their website where this screenshot was taken, and it made me smile. They replaced the honest description of the features with politically correct versions. Sad to see that some people still think these shady tact

Really interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing. You might be right about new generation’s focus shift. If that is true, an interesting future is waiting for us when it comes to business/work software.

I think they will hold on as long as they can to release it for Linux. You are right that they are a commercial software company but they are trying to keep the Windows as "the platform" for enterprise companies otherwise it will

One of the few things that are left for end-users to not to switch to Linux is the Office product. I am almost sure that Microsoft is not releasing it on purpose because they are afraid of losing a big chunk of their customers to Linux.

This whole setup doesnt make sense for me. Flying as a whole is not that comfy even if you are flying first class. Pack + taxi + controls + wait in lounge + wait boarding and etc. I believe not needing to fly is more luxurious life than fly

I would not disagree :) and i think they came up with unlimited data plans just to label bytes in the future. And they are already doing that. You can already buy a plan with 10gb Facebook + 10gb whatever you want. Makes me sad.

There is only one justified reason for phone companies to check if you are using your phone as a router, and that is when they provide unlimited data to your contract. Unlimited data is provided given that you are going to use it on your pe

Touch screen is almost essential for navigation functionality. It makes life easier in car while not driving as well. I think what manufacturers should focus on is to implement touch screen functions on the driver side as physical controls.

Most of them probably will work on other browsers with user-agent switching. But i do not want to hack it and risk having a problem in middle of my work. They can easily inject something that is only available in chrome and there goes my vi

It is funny how my browser preferences has changed over last 5 years. 2014 me as a developer had Chrome as number 1 browser for both development and all rest. Firefox once a month just to check cross browser compatibility. And Safari was ju

Google should know that they have very little credit left on my side. When I read the this article, I immediately think about the ways on how they can still keep tracking me. - Check the latest user status after 3 months before deleting use

Idea was to prevent licence violation. It is hard to do anything as an individual against companies that violates OSS licences. But since then I learned much more about licensing, and I think I changed my mind. I won't be mentioning an

Thanks a lot for going into details. Since then I learned a lot about copyleft, GNU GPLv3, and much more. Maybe mentioning a company name in a licence is not really what I need after all.

Things are not always black and white as you are stating it to be. I just want to know if there is anything like this done before or is it possible/right to do it. I am also open to listening why i shouldn't go this route, but not
