This month brought several bittersweet surprises to me.
The first one was that I could see the slow death of Firefox OS on phones. The marketplace lost two of the most significant apps: Loqui IM and OpenWapp, both which provided a way to use Whatsapp on the platform.
The second one was the release of pre-release isos of Mageia 6 and OpenMandriva Lx 3. I must say that both distros are doing a great job; the systems performed so well that they did not seem beta versions to me.
I did not like Plasma 5, though... I am sure the KDE team is doing a great work, but I truly do not see what the point of this tablet-ready interface is. After all, KDE missed the tablet train (the Vivaldi tablet never saw the light of the day) and tablets are already in decline...
Last, Yahoo's struggle seemed to have reached my mailbox with its readiness: messages urging me to connect a Hotmail account to my Yahoo account, hotmail-sent messages from my students went to the twilight zone...
Boy... some months do not come gently on us.

Yes, life is not always easy. Still, apparently it is not as painful as that of those using that other OS.
