Genuine question. What's the difference between this and rsync?

I wasn't implying criticism isn't allowed.

But opinions on what somebody should do with their time and project are just that.

Feedback must be given in a respectful way or it's not effective. That often doesn't happen with open-source projects and until we change the culture around open-source, this is going to just keep happening.

Opinions ate like assholes. Everybody has one. Doesn't mean its relevant or important. The number of intelligent people who confuse opinion with fact never fails to astound me.

I agree.

Playing Devils Advocate it sounds like the options, for them, would be to stop providing a non-paying version entirely.

I understand where they are coming from but providing an open source version that won't get timely security updates feels like it would be more trouble than it's worth to use.

If they only want to work on a version that pays for their time I'd suggest they make the whole thing closed source.

The self-entitlement in open-source has to stop. This is only one example of a maintainer quitting. There are many more.

And the shaming of projects who want to make money to sustain their projects also has to stop. Nothing is free. Somebody is paying for it in time, resources or money.

If you don't like what a project is doing, or how they're monetizing, don't use it. Move on.

I ended up going to VMware Workstation as it just works. I could never get KVM to share between Linux and Windows host / guest no matter what I tried. Samba wasn't an option for me to use.

I'm really glad there seems to now be a potential solution in wsdd2.

Found them in the app. I had 'Use System Languages' selected. Changed that now.

Will see if it works any better. Thank you.

Hmmm. Yeah I'm pretty sloppy about my letters too. Maybe I need to be a bit more precise to get the best out of it.

Do you have a link to them? I can't see them on their GirHub (bit I could just be missing it).

Been using this for about 3 months or so. The one piece missing is good swipe word recognition - its really poor compared to Gboard even after this amount of time. I spend more time correcting words than I saved nor typing them. Used swipe with Gboard for many years previously so I know hope swipe works.

Any suggestions on how to improve it?

I didn't know about experimental dictionaries. Would this help with swipe recognition as it's really poor compared to gboard?

That's a pretty shitty response to somebody trying to help you.

I don't use Zorin OS, but did you install the Firefox add-on?
