LibreOffice community protests at promotion of paid-for editions, board says: 'LibreOffice will always be free software'

Exactly what I was thinking! The Prophet Adams called it again!

We’ve had enough of your beach-blocking shenanigans, California tells stubborn Sun co-founder: Kiss our lawsuit

Re: Its in the f**king state constitution for gawds sake..

I wouldn't trade a fellow citizen like you for a thousand Khoslas. Folks like you are who make me feel proud to be an American. Thank you for brightening my morning!

Re: Call the sherriif

Absolutely true --- unless your or I were diabolically rich, self-entitled sociopaths able to hire a gaggle of lawyers to abuse the legal system on our behalf, like this (and I use this term loosely) guy.

Tinfoil-hat search engine DuckDuckGo gifts more options, dark theme and other toys for the 0.43%

Re: Go

If you really dislike Google but like their search results better, then you might like Startpage.com. Startpage uses Google's results but doesn't snoop (i.e. doesn't store your IP address, nor share any personal info with Google.) I'm a DDG user, it's fine for me. But my wife, who preferred Google, uses Startpage almost exclusively. Hope this helps.

Billionaire's Babylon beach ban battle barrels toward Supreme Court

Re: Bulldozer

" He has more than enough money to bankrupt the lot of them and/or tie them up in legal cases ... "

And in such manner the U.S. legal system grinds on and grinds down common sense, common decency and anything that smacks of actual, capital "J" Justice.

Re: Mr. President, aren't you a constitutional scholar??

Another applicable --- albeit ahistorical --- Franklinism might be, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Feeling abandoned by Adobe? Check out the video editing suites for penguins

Well done!

Thanks for the article! It was a well written, delightfully concise, and much needed overview of the current Linux video-editing landscape. Every few years I get an itch to mess about with video on my Ubuntu box, and I've always been let down in one way or another. But Shotcut and Flowblade are both new to me, and a minimally-crashy Pitivi warrants a new look. Sounds like it might be time to try and scratch my video itch again.

US tries one last time to sway EU court on data-slurping deal

"Business as usual in 4,400 companies at stake." Good.

AVG to flog your web browsing, search history from mid-October

What a coincidence! I'm getting rid of AVG on Oct. 14th!

Windows 10: A sysadmin speaks his brains – and says MEH

I'm glad you brought up Steam. What will it be like, in the middle of an online multiplayer death match, when Win10 decides it's time to restart? Is the OS really just allowed to restart whenever it takes a notion to? If so, I wonder how well the collective howl of Steam users will be heard in Redmond.
