a) It is a story.

b) It portrays what Microsoft originally intended: to ship Recall switched on by default and the option to switch it off hidden deep in the settings. They only backed down when it blew up in their faces.

c) If you believe they will not try again, I have a nice bridge on sale you may be interested in.

“Problem” 1 is like mostly everybody in the community. No-one expects volunteers to be available 24/7. Everybody will be cool and grateful for whatever you contribute.

Admittedly problem 2 is a bit thornier, though.

@SpaceNoodle

While input and feedback is good, there are ways of delivering it without making it demoralising.

@SpaceNoodle @kde

It’s early days and WiP. Give them a chance.

@taanegl @kde

I agree. FLOSS deemed beneficial for the public should be treated like common property, like parks, hospitals and schools and should be funded, at leas in part, by governments.

You don’t even need to connect computer anywhere. You can connect, say, your iPad with your Android phone and share stuff from one to another.

1. I am reading “I think Adobe products are better because I know how to use them.”

2. There is no such thing as an “intuitive ui”, just one you have become used to. See 1.

3. Can you back this up with some stats?

And that would be three things, hardly 300% more things.

@greenman @[email protected] @[email protected]

But as far as I know you can.

* Bitmap design ✔️
* Vector design ✔️
* Layout ✔️
* Video editing ✔️
* Photo retouching ✔️
* Animation ✔️
* …

Maybe you have info I am lacking. What 300% more tasks can you not do with FLOSS tools that you can with Adobe products?

Also, could you define “better”? In what way are they “better”? Because it is not in all ways, is it? The way they treat users is atrocious, so in that sense they are not “better”, right?

That’s a nice round number. How did you get to it?

Trying it out today, I had a flashback that reminded why I loved this player so much: when I pressed the “pause” button, instead of immediately cutting off, the track gradually faded into silence.

It was not the smorgasbord of features, but the small things like this that set Amarok head and shoulders above all other players. Can’t wait to see it brought up to speed again.

Here, you dropped this…

Because, guess what? Plasma does not force you to use Firefox either.

During the Clinton era Microsoft was a hair’s breadth away from being broken apart for all its anti-competitive monopolistic shenanigans – including the browser war thing that you mention.

But then Bush Junior got into power (I resist using the words “was elected”) and he swept all that away.

Maybe you should ask for your money back…
