This is the great thing about FOSS. Someone else will just take the code and reupload it. If they want it removed from GitHub, they can deal with Microsoft. At which point it’ll just be re-uploaded again. There’s nothing illegal about it.
So Haier suffers the Streisand effect and the people who want to simply continue using it.
When I pointed out that that makes no difference…then you switched to another reason.
It’s not another reason. It’s the same reason.
If it wasn’t encrypted it would be trivial to spin up a local integration like Google or MS already have.
Since it is encrypted, it makes it significantly more complicated to develop. While this development may make sense on MS or Mac, it doesn’t on Linux, because it requires more resources and serves a much much smaller number of users.
I’ve already explained all of this in the previous comments.
My Proton Vpn on linux install works
“Works” is right. Like I said, it’s extremely basic compared to it’s MS and Mac counterparts.
the e-mail bridge works
Notice how MS and Mac get fully-featured desktop clients and all Linux gets is a “bridge” to connect to an inbox client developed by someone else.
Actually their pages say it is hard to find Linux devs for desktop, and that is why it is slow.
Again, the reason is irrelevant. The point is, it ain’t happening.
And as far as critisim you said specifically not as good as google, so I provide a reason why. you can’t then change you tact and say it wasn’t critism
That’s not “changing tact”. It’s not as good as Google from a user perspective. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have it’s own merits. I pay for a Proton subscription rather than use a free, much more fully-featured Google one, so I obviously understand the value proposition. I also understand it’s shortcomings.
You seem to keep moving goal posts here so have a good rest of your week.
I don’t suppose you want to elaborate on what goal posts I’ve supposedly moved?
Dev is slow because they release a good User experience, rather than buggy junk
The reason is irrelevant. It wasn’t a criticism, just an observation.
Linux seems to be 3rd on their list but it comes eventually.
No, they have almost no Linux support. Most things have to be done in the browser. When there is Linux support, it is extremely basic.
Per the link you can use Windows or Mac sync now.
Cool. Doesn’t help Linux users.
Don’t forget google had a long head start and almost unlimited devs.
See point 1.
There was a long podcast interview with the CEO where he basically said Linux is and will continue to be looked over due to increased development costs and very low adoption.
No, I’ve just been a customer for several years. Development is slow and things like this are simply not a priority. They’re not even a little close to matching Google.
tl;dr the company Taylor manufactures the ice cream machines to fail without any explanation or diagnosis process, then charge wildly exorbitant fees to fix them, and cut McD’s in on the profit. Some franchises found ways around this and McD’s just ordered them to stop. So the franchises just leave them broken as often as possible.
Of course the pi 4 is still part of the product range. It’s still being actively manufactured and sold.
Its a 5-year old product. With 5 year old specs.
As far as memory size, that wasn’t part of your original complaint.
Yes I also didn’t specify a clock speed, storage size, network speed, etc. What I meant was a modern version of an old product with similarly modern specs.
$35 in 2012 is $47 today
And yet the Pi5 starts at $60.
You’re also missing the other half of this conversation where other SBCs have come way down in price.
Le Potato, Orange Pi, Zima products, Rockchip, not to mention all the X86 mini PCs, old office PCs, etc.
