Nothing has exactly the same experience as MS. I don’t think there is a clone project for it.
The two you listed are your best options.
Does LibreOffice have any issues that prevent you using it? If not, it’s probably that your expectations are set by your comfort and familiarity with Office and that is the problem you need to solve.
Like the time when a kid in school tried to create their own nickname and everyone noped the fuck out and carried on calling them the same thing they were.
You don’t get to pick your nickname, even if you started trying 20 years ago, FF.
You know it’s a 3 character documentation change.
Unless Quake was made with Copilot, that seems very unlikely:
Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.
If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.
I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.
MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.
But the companies chosen for login is a slap in the face of anyone who cares about privacy.
If it is e2e encrypted, why would this change mitigate what they are concerned about?
That is a massive disappointment. Hopefully Element gets their video calls sorted. Why can I not just have privacy tools that I can use? Why are the good ones taken away?
You nailled it in the last paragraph. It is important to not get angry at customers. It isn’t their obligation to pay you a living wage. Secondly, the company chooses how much the meals are and indirectly how much they rent their tables per hour. If it isn’t viable, they should increase prices.
Customers may be struggling. Could be their first meal out in months. The company invited them in with these cheap prices.
Tipping culture is like “hey, come in, eat cheap. Oh, and please pay our staff on the way out.” You are an employer, not a table rental company.
It’s not the cloud. It’s just some else’s computer.
Sorry you lost that stuff. Did you manage to re record?
Sanity is restored.
Love KDE, and good to see them chipping away at these pain points.
Ah, so IBM are in control of Red Hat.
I think it seems the timescale to pretend you aren’t going to change anything is 2-5 years.
Don’t expect anything from these big corps, just fork (if you really must), and move on.
It absolutely used to suck performance wise since I used an S4 for about 2 years. Since then, it’s been great. As someone who used to dislike the performance, and now loves it, even over chromium stuff, I can safely suggest your oversimplified opinion is without any real basis. Sucks is such a vague word, and I guess it stops you having to detail and rationalise your personal opinion.
It’s always been great on the desktop.
For default search.
I’m sure you’re aware Firefox isn’t in the search market. They are in the browser market and need to fund browser development. They’ve used Yahoo in the past and will go with whatever deal gives the best value. They could go with Bing if they wanted.
Funding from them does not mean control, and your insinuation is misleading and false.
“we do not process email content to serve ads” looks very specific. We don’t process emails to serve you ads. It doesn’t say they don’t process ads to understand better what is relevent to you. It is also a very specific word, serve. Serving means displaying, but it doesn’t necessarily mean profiling or targetting.
Ads are shown based on: “ads that were selected to be the most useful and relevant for you”. So, they’re saying they don’t directly do that, but it doesn’t cover indirect processing that would feed into this.
These people are very clever, and hire very clever lawyers that could easily demonstrate this in a court, so they could use that information and still meet the requirements of the policy.
Considering the astounding level of information gained from Android that feeds into their tech, it would be quite naive to believe they’ve ring fenced email as something they don’t touch. Google still serve very relevant content to people that don’t use search and don’t stay logged into email. I cannot imagine it’s a fluke. Email is a very expensive game to be in when you’re insinuating that all they want is to be an identity provider to assist in tracking web interactions.
“dedicated White knight for GIMP”, another ad hominem, and probably showing a clear indication of your erm… questionable views.
“Your best counterarguments are to either attack the person you disagree with directly”. You cannot even see the hypocrisy.
“If you want to actually discuss this do it in good faith or stop wasting our time.” Right back atcha…
Weak, you cannot debate any of my points, so you’re going for the ad hominem. Ironic that you call me out for logical fallacies…
It’s a different tool. Krita is for painting. GIMP is for image manipulation.
I’m assuming you’re not a professional programmer though, as professional programmer salaries are much higher. If Krita does more, it’s though sacrificing time, giving it away free. Not everyone is in a position to do that. You either pay for good developers, or hope for the sacrifice.
Maybe I’ll try your approach and just bash projects, I’m sure that’s productive and helps open source improve. Feels a wee bit negative though…
“I don’t like the insinuation that anyone who claims to have problems with Firefox must be bots.”
I did not say this, multiple people have interpreted it this way. It’s a little defensive. I said there is a targetted campaign against it where every time it is brought up it is trashed. You may be be a genuine person who is also trashing it, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t also a targetted campaign at play. I just find it hard to believe that some folk hate FOSS projects so much they have to smash it every time it’s brought up. Sounds exhausting.
There is a difference between “it’s great software, but i’ve notice a few issues” and “this project is trash”. The second is posted purely with the intent of trying to dissuade people from using it, and all they do is keep people using Chrome, which I think we can all agree has bigger issues.

GIMP getting around $2k dollars a month or a bit more:
138,000 euro MONTLY contribution.
A wee bit of a difference in funding. There are alternatives to GIMP, not really as much for Blender. They cannot be compared. GIMP probably couldn’t afford a UI developer if they tried. You’re looking at least £3k pcm for someone who isn’t punishing themselves.
Do you want to tell me what sort of voodoo magic GIMP do to match the resources Blender get? Your opinions are based in feelings, not reality. You may hate GIMP, you may hate the UI, you may want the project to fail and take that mission as keyboard crusader, but it’s unfortunately just not a realistic position, but hey, your feelings can be unrealistic if they want to be. You can feel what you want. Some of us hate big corporations and injustice, others, it seems hate free software projects built by volunteers.
Are the problem with the people who watch the video, or the people who create, or host the videos?
