"As for why OnlyOffice was chosen over LibreOffice, the project simply said: "We believe open source is about collaboration, and we look for opportunities to integrate and collaborate with the LibreOffice community and companies like Collabora.""
Ok, since they just refuse to answer the question, does anyone else know why OnlyOffice was chosen over LibreOffice?
Currently retirement accounts enjoy heightened protections typically -- managers are supposed to be fiduciaries, which means they need to prioritize the interests of the investor over their own interests, and are more liable if they fail to do so.
Everything needs to be branded or monetised.
It's why I want large commercial organisations as far away from my data, computers and workflow as possible.
I do not care about you, I don't want to be reminded you even exist, and I certainly don't want to give you money. Go away.
I want to turn on my computer, load up the browser of my choice, and that's it. I don't need to see a single brand, no "notifications", no messages of your choosing, nothing. My boot screen is a spinner. My desktop is a flat, blank, plain colour. I have my browser pinned as a single recognisable icon (doesn't even have the name).
That is what an OS should be. That is what most services should be. We shouldn't be spending our life subject to the whims of a corporation trying to wheedle money out of us or "foster brand engagement" or whatever nonsense they class it as.
The one good thing about hitting limits on CPU clock speed, memory shortages, etc. is that they might finally have to start actually making programmes vaguely efficient again.
There's also yet-another reason that I don't use Windows, and that's that everything seems to want an app running on startup to cache what it needs to to present these shitty web UIs with any semblance of performance, to do the most worthless things.
There are far too many programmes that just don't function correctly if you have a software firewall other than Windows Defender and you deny them web access, for instance. Windows Defender just lets it all through, but if you have a "ZoneAlarm-type" firewall, you see that EVERYTHING wants to talk-home or connect to a local web service and, when denied, it hangs up and falls over itself rather than deals with it gracefully.
Not what you want to see in critical services, for example.
Some of these technologies are overlapping, but each was intended to coral devs into making Metro apps or Windows Store apps and burn their bridges in the process. It went down like a lead balloon. Now they're dialing back trying to make WinUI somewhat platform agnostic to the version of Windows its running on but who knows if it will stick. It's not the only pain point because Microsoft even extended the C++ language to deal with these APIs with new types like "ref", "partial" and hat notation to deal with garbage collected objects, auto generated classes and other things that also impedes portability.
So it's no wonder that app developers have gone for web apps (and QT) because it's makes it easier to write portable apps and acts as insulation from Microsoft's mercurial view of the world.
It could be that. What it definitely was, though, is that Sony thought they could make more money selling to data centers than to the public.
HTML/CSS/DOM sucks rotting eggs for doing real GUI's. It was stretched way beyond it's original purpose of displaying static documents, and mutated into rocket spaghetti surgery and still has common GUI idioms missing or done wrong.
I'm for an HTTPS-friendly GUI markup standard, by the way. Build it from the ground up for GUI's.
independent franchises are vital to the car-buying process, creating competition between dealerships that keeps prices affordable for consumers
Exactly! Adding a middleman always lowers the price. Everyone knows that!
The reality is that vapes are in the same situation as tobacco in the 70s and 80s deliberately using marketing of people looking cool and sexy to get people hooked on this shit. The way to stop people getting hooked is to remove all prominence of the product and make it hard and extreme risk for a business to sell to kids. And to make the product less affordable by banning disposable vapes. And to make the product less attractive in terms of flavours and such.
These are all obvious measures. Will it stop all kids from vaping? Of course not. But it will stop a lot. And that's why tobacco / nicotine lobby REALLY want things to stay as loose as they are now. They need a constant stream of new addicts and anything that threatens that is detrimental to their business model.

I can't name a single product this company makes besides the PlayStation (that's headed for US $1200.00). They're a dead company walking. China is making more desirable products for less money.
Until recently Sony made TVs which they have sold off to TCL. In terms of consumer facing products, they still sell a small amount or smartphones, cameras, and car stereos. In terms of manufacturing, Sony makes many electronic components like CMOS image sensors which are in iPhones and Androids and storage (subject of this article).
The trick has been around since industrial spies noticed the first liar got away with it.
I wonder if stock-holders can successfully sue for lying about the cause of a sales slump?
The program isn't debugged until the last user is dead.
