Google search failed to even find a hollywood movie, even after 1 hour of attempts. I don’t really care about the movie, but I am terrified by the prospect that google now ceased to function on this basic level. Why is this happening?...
People still chewing gum, but chewing gum is no longer a fashion trend. So they don’t purposely show to you that they are chewing gum.
I do chewing gum when at work, to help me stay focused. I don’t chewing gum while hanging out with friends to look cool, because it no longer a trend. Beside, it is not comfortable to speak while chewing gum.
Really I can find many open source solution that can edit PDF, even OCR the PDF for free (you might need to run OCR engine with your CPU, or pay for OCR service)
This is another example, corp pay to use open source (tidelift.com). They are paying to have someone to cover them if something mess up, like a reliable mantainer.
So i think that why corp still pay for pdf solution, e-signing and stuff like that rather than implement from open source solution.
I think, because Corp. In Corp, they want someone to be in charge, and take reponsible when something mess up. It is easy for IT to proposed to buy a solution, because the vendor take responsible for mess up, rather than use open-source and have to fix bug themselves.
There are also case where developer push malware into open-source.
And because nowaday everything is locked (walled garden is the term you need google for) , it is unlikely the device will be useable in few year. Unlike a computer, you can install anything on it.
Reddit official website and app are slow, click took 1-2 sec to load. Scrolling to the end it pause like 5 second to load more content. I don’t know why, it feel like they do it on purpose.

Reddit sells its api for high and is about to go for an IPO, its economy bases entirely on the data made by the users/communities. It is the work of the public, get robbed by a small group of individuals. A living example of capitalism....
I have seen an Chinese novel have long title, like “A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality”. But the author was not make long title on purpose, as original title have only 4 words. Because there is no single word in English with rich meaning as it is Chinese , so they have to describe it out.
