It's a little gimmicky, and not super-useful, but maybe someone in the DevOps world will find this interesting.

I fully believe that Elementary survives only because 99% of those purported 400,000 downloads are really just YouTubers racing each other to apply some anime wallpaper and show it off on YouTube.

I firmly believe that Elementary OS has no utility over Arch/Fedora/Ubuntu and that any income they receive from donors is money ill-spent.

The combination of AI and Azure. In my view, Azure is already the superior platform to AWS, and cutting edge AI should ultimately cause their cost to go down, and their cloud marketshare to go up. They could potentially have a monopoly in the cloud where they control most of the world's data giving them incredible power.

I had a BSD-geek friend whose area of specialty was in deploying and maintaining mail servers on that platform. He had always been an advocate for plain-text emails. He was also a single guy who had sex with his dog, so he wasn't emailing pictures to his grandma.

Personally, I think evolving email into HTML has always been a foregone conclusion regardless of the inconvenience it causes to an extreme minority. Plus, I like the convenience of sending photos to grandma and checking her email is all she has the aptitude for anyway.

Long live HTML mail!

Drivel. The whole purpose of this is for Jakob Reiter, whoever that is, to highlight what a great leader he is. It's all about upward mobility, and having a showpiece like this is all part of the act. I don't know Jakob, but I know from reading this he is probably untrustworthy and will do whatever is necessary to succeed. These types have evolved over the years... in the 80s, they were sharp and cutthroat. Afterall, that's what was in vogue. Now they've adapted to today's cultural zietgeist, making sure that everyone knows how forward-thinking they are, how hip they are to inclusivity, yadda-yadda.. It's just a game that these inauthentic types are very good at playing. Well, we all share the same dirt in the end, my friend.

This doesn't seem to be a news post.

I see a lot of complaints on this thread and those complaints lead me to believe you guys haven't tried the outstanding Drawboard PDF.
