Well, there was a time those were both the same.

All of those companies became loved when they had 1 to 10 people in there.

You think people want to extinguish mosquitoes because they bite is annoying?!

All of that happens the exact opposite way when you compare Writer with Word.

And Presenter compared to Power Point has the clear answer that you shouldn’t use either.

Either way, Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office. Has always been, and I don’t expect it to change in the future. (Except maybe if they decide to make Excel bad.) But that’s only as long as it always corrupting anything mildly complex doesn’t bother you.

To escape their wrath.

As long as it’s not a water poodle…

Also, by the way, technically you can quote any predicate as a consequence of a false one.

I don’t know if the people that made this phrase knew that, but it’s technically correct :)

Yeah, I can agree with that. And somebody will eventually find some way to use that mismatch against people.

But the correct language doesn’t have an impact, and we don’t decide what gets popular anyway. I don’t like that phrase either (I think it’s too conservative), but it’s here to stay.

They can block some kinds of server-side ads. And if google has those already, they have been quite successful against youtube.

But yeah, they won’t block all server-side ads.

That phrase means “if you will make an enemy out of me and won’t let me buy the kind of ownership I want, I’ll take it and ignore paying you”.

But notice that the full explanation is longer? That phrase captures perfectly well the antagonizing perspective, and nobody goes around making sure they pay fairly the people that treat them as enemies. It also fails to capture any other bit of the logic, but it’s ok, the logic is simple and automatic once the antagonism is explicitated.

I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.

But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn’t want to maintain Xorg either.

Yep, I wrote it badly.

I guess the VFX reference isn’t widely known, nor it’s direct enough.

But that’s a low-budget show. The Apollo Program had billions to invest in VFX.

“Waste” doesn’t exist either. And don’t start on that “of” thing.

Value alignment with the people you let influence your life is a very complex thing.

I don’t use it because it sucks, but not using it because the owner is an asshole is a perfectly valid attitude.

I think you need an “and” there where you used an “or”, but I guess I’m in neither category.

Wow, really strong “only terrorists use encryption” vibes.

The growing lack of clear space on the bottom squares is evidence of the top method’s superiority.

It peaked somewhere between 2000 and 7. Personally, I place it in XP, but opinions vary.

Just a reminder that the internet was recently shredded exactly by the security infrastructure.
