How do you use Microsoft products easily?

You install LibreOffice instead.

chadwickofwv · 2023-09-18T11:24:15+00:00

Debian.

Or you can just pirate Win11

IkeConn · 2023-09-07T23:31:49+00:00

Fuck Bill Gates.

Who is this laundering money for?

The spelling and the price? Oh, and Windows 11 is just Windows 10 made to look more like Mac OS.

Quick check and MO is $69 to $99 a year, what idiot would pay that much when we have free alternatives.

Bless their hearts.

I'm one of those geeks who gets roped in to doing computer support for free. I make it my mission to convert people to something else, rather than volunteer my services for a company that would so rampantly mistreat me as a user.

Perhaps others are doing the same as I am, and perhaps the strategy is working. I mean we'll never get Microsoft out of the enterprise, and I don't really care about that anyway because it's not where I wound up, but with Macs, Chromebooks, Linux, Ipads and Iphones, we have a good chance at collectively driving them out of consumer space.

Screw piracy, decreasing their market share is way more fun and satisfying, and it does more damage as well, because they can't subject users to examples outlined in the above article if they aren't using Microsoft software in the first place!

"Unlimited"

Ugg, I hate that word. To be fair, it's not the word's fault. It's probably the most abused word in the English language. Unlimited cloud storage. Unlimited ISP data allotments.

chadwickofwv · 2023-03-29T20:26:07+00:00

Very true.

chadwickofwv · 2023-03-29T19:11:24+00:00

Good. It needs to be replaced entirely by Linux.

That is fucking insane!

MularkeyMan2 · 2023-02-19T23:14:39+00:00

VLC?

Congrats to Microsoft for being honest about remote work. I'm tired of hearing this bullshit that all corporate jobs need to be in office all or part of the time. Most do not, due to the nature of the work and the fact that most corporations aren't only located at one site, but many over multiple states and countries. We were heading there before the pandemic. The benefits of remote work far outweigh local tax and commerce benefits, but my old company maintained this bullshit narrative that "corporate culture" was the reason and not that they paid a buttload for their buildings and made political promises around occupancy, taxes, and employees contributing to the local economy. Time to realize that it's a new world and we don't need 2/3's of the office space most companies maintain.

IkeConn · 2022-07-08T21:22:18+00:00

They don't like free software that kicks their expensive software's ass.
