>you're just not going to get any significant number of home Linux users or enthusiasts to pay for your software.

More like no significant number of home users are using Exchange.

If every software that runs on Windows ran on Linux without restrictions, that would be the end of Windows right now and it's exactly what Microsoft are currently preparing for.

They are shifting profits from Windows licenses to the app store and user data/ads to compete with free operating systems and they're trying hard to appeal to Linux users.

It's good to have a working Exchange client for Linux, proprietary or not. I'd hope that they polish Hiri a bit before they implement Gmail and IMAP support though, because it does have some rough edges, mostly with the UI.

As for the FOSS enthusiasts, I'd recommend ignoring them.

At that point you should just buy AMD, if only to not support a company like Intel with such a bad security track record.

Yes, do everything this anonymous person says, because their post has 3 upvotes.

Seriously though, listening to everything the community says is a certain recipe for failure. User feedback is an indicator, not more. Implementation details and the general direction of the software have to be based on sane decisions by the development team, not the community.

In my opinion the game looks great so far and I hope they take their time to finish it.

Should they manage to match their own high expectations, the game will be played for years to come, like WoW, and it'd better have a good base then.

That's for Öffi.

When Google remove free apps that are used by millions of users from the play store for weeks, because one of their own automated tests fails, such fines can't come soon enough.

Both organizations who are now complaining (Zwiebelfreunde and CCC) have extremist tendencies.

The CCC have colaborated with extremists for some time.

How's Voat doing these days?

>In part because the more bash a dev knows the more effective they are at life in general

At some point, using bash isn't effective anymore. It's great and all, but an important skill is knowing when to use it and when not to.

>I live in Australia and the heat of the sun on the phone + google maps using CPU will literally shut off the phone as it reaches 50C+

Get a better maps app, there's an abundance of them. Google Maps for mobile is just a resource hog with a shitty UI.

The CCC are in no position to complain. They have become too political and openly support left extremist groups. They allow talks by Antifa members and they have Antifa flags in their centers [1]. These are people who threaten and practice violence for political reasons and are watched by state police.

Calling every conservative or even people who share some conservative ideas Nazis is an entry requirement for the Antifa. The talks I mentioned, which you'll easily find on Google, are painting the same picture.

Don't bother replying. I'll repost this, because I want the CCC's political affliction to be more visible. It's important to understand the context of their post.

>Who? When? Where?

The CCC and most of its members - and they don't exactly hide it. The CCC founder was on the far left and that's exactly the course it took.

They have talks by Antifa activists. They have combined CCC and Antifa logos hanging in their centers: https://twitter.com/DandelionInaBox/status/90147462783431884...

German Antifa are about as extremist as it gets and they are rightly watched by the state police. They threaten and attack citizens and police for political reasons and do about everything else that's considered extremist.

tl;dr: Left extremism is openly accepted by the CCC.

Now you can downvote this post too, but these are verifiable facts.

>Oh, you are the one with the flagged comment in this thread.

Which perfectly illustrates my point. I haven't said anything offensive. People are treating extremism differently depending on which side they're on and that's stupid. HN is very far left, so this opinion is unpopular.

tl;dr: Need to contact someone at Google? File a copyright complaint.

--------------

I was in the same situation, having the correct logon credentials for my account, but the system refused to believe it's me and asked for proof, but I forgot the security answer.

Ended up filing a bogus copyright complaint, knowing they can't handle that automatically.

I told them there was a copyright violation and proof was in my locked account (a picture of a seven-legged spider...).

They unlocked the account long enough for me to move my accounts elsewhere.

Fuck Google.

>I am strongly opposed to private blacklists

HN uses similar approaches. Just saying. You can have tons of points, but if some of your recent posts were unpopular for whatever reason, your account will be limited to the point that you can't really take part in conversations.

You have a pretty great country, so I'd say what you're doing works and I'd advise against changing it.

The current agreements give you the freedom to renegotiate should the need arise. You can't do that when you have full membership.

Seems like a good solution. I was looking for this on the official HIBP website, but it's not mentioned there.

Going public with this would probably be a good time to update the website.

My problem with haveibeenpwned is that when you haven't been pwned, you've just handed them your mail address.

Is there anything to alleviate those concerns other than "trust us, we're not saving emails from queries"?

Use a VPN from a location where you know the service has enough bandwidth.

* travel suggestions for other places you might like

* ad targeting based on specific locations you've been to

Sounds useful enough to keep the data and there might be more uses in the future.

The problem with Gnome is not that it's too bloated or spartan -although it does use twice as much memory as KDE and four times as much as LXDE- but that many parts of the UX are plain stupid.

With digital goods, the distributor can stack the odds against you to make you spend more money. They know what you want and they can make sure you don't get it.

And then you possibly don't realize how much you've spent, because unlike real cards, digital ones don't pile up.

It's definitely different.

Honest hypothetical question... my file hosting website is in New Zealand, my servers are in New Zealand. Why would I care about US laws?

Asking for a friend.

>Respecting the privacy rights of consumers everywhere

Anyone who tried to disable the Windows 10 tracking knows what a load of shit that statement is.

The very last thing we need is even more permission popups.

Completely agreed. When GPUs do this, I just declare them defective and send them back. It comes down to a lack of quality of the electrical components and simply shouldn't be a problem, especially with the current GPU prices.

High pitched electric buzzing or hard disk screeching seem to be worse than fan noise nowadays with all the great coolers available.

That being said, within a year of using Windows 10 four (!) of my hard drives have begun making loud screeching sounds. They're technically fine, but still unusable.

Agreed, they're great. If only they weren't so unreliable with Linux. First the segfault bug and then there's still random freezes in idle state:
