 @grishka Yet we do exactly that with other things - every new car is different but does basically the same as the previous one. I do understand that people are lazy and often do things that are not in their best interests. I've worked very closely with Microsoft several times (i even interviewed there) and they only care about Microsoft. My point was that you don't have to use Microsoft - if people want to pay money to be exploited, that's their decision. @remixtures @human3500 @grishka @remixtures this so very true. I’ve been using Microsoft since my first home computer in 95, as it’s got shittier and bloated up, I’ve been too lazy to switch to anything else. I’ve been waiting for the thing to push me over the edge, and this is just about it. My daughter (proper computer geek) has been pushing me to Linux for ages. Today is that day I think!  @grishka @remixtures @human3500 I totally get that, I've been slowly transitioning to Linux and FOSS software in the last years. Especially learning #Inkscape after using Adobe Illustrator for more then ten years alost daily was not easy. But so worth it in the end and while Inkscape of course isn't perfect (neither is Illustrator, not by a long shot) and I do miss some features / workflows from Illustrator I'm super happy I made the switch. |
Human, because they've been using them since they first saw a computer and it's hard to change one's habits, especially if the end result of such a change is being able to do the same things you started with, just differently?
