Imaginary corn. Like John Peters, you know, the farmer, grows.

I personally pretty much stopped using Word Editors, and wouldn’t use a proprietary one if I did, but I recognise they’re still pretty important for the majority of people.

I worked with a company that used O365 last year. Was kinda underwhelmed. Desktop Apps still don’t really work well with simultaneous editing of a document, Web Apps don’t have all the features of the desktop versions (didn’t matter that much in Word, but was annoying in Excel).

I think that the online collaboration implementation of Google’s Suite is still a lot more seamless. O365 Desktop and Web stuff feels like a weird attempt to mix two separate products.

For most use cases I’ve seen, you could probably give the user any modern office suite, whether it be proprietary or open source, and they wouldn’t mind too much.

Independent of all privacy concerns, I personally just don’t like Edge’s UX, but I recognise that it’s a serviceable Browser.

Never got why people didn’t like it. It made SMS feel unduly secure, and having different messenger apps for different protocols doesn’t really bother me.

Experienced that recently. Every part of the backup was fine, except for the one with all the 2fa codes. Fun times.

Dunno, haven’t had one in many years. Don’t think I had one longer than a few minutes … ever. Guess I’ll find out if it ever comes to that.

Goodbye

Gave me flashbacks about receiving emails from them about connecting to friends of mine on their platform long before I ever interacted with any of said platforms in any way.

With a properly packaged python app, you shouldn’t even notice your running a python app. But yeah, for some reason there’s a lot of them that … aren’t.

Fun cat, sure, but tf is that Gucci/star-of-David flooring.

Find out, try it.

Delivery trucks, full stop, around here. Though some stop on the street instead, which I prefer, but car drivers usually don’t.

In the end, I find it hard to be angry at overworked, underpaid people, who have to work around infrastructure that clearly hasn’t been planned with their job in mind.

At least UPS is switching to large bike-like vehicles around here. Hope that trend continues.

I cancelled Spotify when they started pushing podcasts in my music app, with no way to turn it off.

Why pay for a service that actively pushes you towards stuff you don’t want? Especially if there’s alternatives that cost the same and … don’t do that.

I mean, I get it. I built the lineage OS Updates for my last phone myself when community support ended, and only replaced it last week after the screen broke. If it hadn’t, I probably would have replaced the battery, has kinda gone a bit bad after five years.

Still ordered a cheap tft screen that fits it (original amoled is too expensive to make sense) to be able to use it as a backup.

I bought new this time, but mainly because I needed a new phone quick. Also wanted one of the new Pixels with 7 year software support to put Graphene on, so I found an 8a for like 400€.

So yeah, fuck the throw-away attitude towards perfectly serviceable electronics.

Huh. Only ever used their printers and their ceramic knives.

Old Android is surprisingly … nostalgic.

What Android Version is that? I haven’t seen a notification look like that in forever.

Never liked that argument. It’s essentially “Why, don’t you like immigration, dummy? Don’t you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?”

I’m not saying it isn’t true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.

Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.

Morrisey became a real shithead later on, or maybe he just always was one, but I wouldn’t neccesarily interpret that one as pro the national front.

I mean, he’s probably gonna say “Yeah, sure, whatever” to most things the crazy people around him propose.

In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.
