  • They’re also the company who mainstreamed the software subscription model.

    It used to be that only services required subscriptions. Applications would be a one time payment. But, Adobe converted to the subscription model and because they hold a monopoly over the design space, people/companies had no choice but to go along. Once they were successful, every business in the world decided that they also wanted that sweet monthly payment and now software licensing sucks.

    I refuse to even pirate Adobe products on principle.

    TL;DR Fuck Adobe, use open source.


  • The links from that post and top comment point out that that initiative was dropped. It got mired down in bikeshedding from hundreds of opinions and SO eventually just said, “Fuck it.”

    The MIT announcement thread was edited with the cancellation announcment:

    Update: January 15, 2016

    Thank you for your patience and feedback. The changes proposed here have been delayed indefinitely - we’ll be back later to open some more discussions.

    The top comment from your link points out the current license:

    TL;DR: Source code on SO is still licensed under CC-BY-SA.

    And CC BY-SA is the only license listed on the official help page.

  • Hell, I’m using the free tier. Zoho has the most relaxed offerings for free tier of any email provider I’ve looked into.

    Their Admin UI sucks though. It’s almost impossible to find anything, and once you do find a link to what you need you’re forwarded to some other new tool they’ve created in the last year. Giant pain in the ass.
