In an open letter published today, TDF’s Italo Vignoli takes issue with the upstart productivity suite’s pitch.

A while back. Kristor of the Orthosphere wrote a post in which he surprisingly toyed with and then acknowledged the reality of uncreated freedom.The acknowledgement made quite an impression on me at the time. but I resisted responding to the post for the simple reason that my interactions with Kristor or his ideas have rarely been constructive or. for my part. pleasant.Anyway. I forgot about the post after that. but it recently came back to..
