Yeah, keep giving Bill Gates and Big Tech more power and money instead of supporting independent developers and open source products... How does that make any sense?
Office 360 is the worst though, it's like installing an AI keylogger. My wife got it with her office computer and showed me just how much data that thing collects. Have to assume that it's sending some of that telemetry collected back to home base.
I do understand that it's not really possible for everyone to switch, but like people have mentioned about libreOffice and other FOSS options, some of these have all significant functions of Office suite, and some even work better with Word than Word does. (Ex: Word DOES NOT EVEN work with earlier word documents, first it converts the doc file to rtf then opens the rtf as a new word version, where others can open any word version as a word document)
WordPerfect can save in all the old Word versions. The new Word program is in the cloud, not in your possession. I won't ever go for that. I'll continue with WordPerfect for word processing, as I've used it since the 80s, and it's the most powerful program on the market. I use OpenOffice (free download) for spreadsheets and presentations. OpenOffice can also save files in Microsoft formats.
Purkiss posts something seemingly at least every hour, all of it copied from somewhere else, nothing original, and most of it is clickbait or nonsense... but gets stickies all the time. It's become very noticeable
Its difficult to do if you have a lazy mind. I dunno if you've checked out some of these popular distros but they are really easy to get started in.
I always like the "yeah well don't because it's hard" guy while announcing that the propagandistic features of windows aren't mandatory. Smells like....sniff sniff....shill-fish.
Edit: and worst of all, some moderon (mod + moron) decided this snowflake meltdown post was worthy of being stickied...
Ruh roh. Word to the wise patriot...I actually enjoyed my multi-day ban for daring to question the stickying of a post. Let's just say certain mod(s) are more edgy and twisty about it than most, LOL. A personal cut to their ego results from being questioned.
During my ban I got a ton of shit done around here, realized how much excessive time I was spending on the computer...all good :) Cheers!
Yeah I get super tired of the Linux simps rolling through here. Yes, I'd love to learn a new operating system and then all of the commands for it, only to have to find special versions of everything I do that are compatible.
I have enough on my plate, I'm not relearning 30 years of computer knowledge just because a simp on here demands it of me because I'm 'giving Bill Gates Money." Well, his money gives him money now, and I paid for my OS once YEARS ago back in Windows 8 times. Not changing now!
Lol for real. u/purkiss might be the most triggered person I've ever seen with posts like this. He's turned on this feature and then got upset it was doing its intended purpose.
I just celebrated two years of Linux, having migrated from Win7 to Mint. I haven't looked back yet. Both Open Office and Libre Office have an Office 97 feel to them, and I miss some of the newer features with Word and such, but these products suffice as proper replacements.
Stop using Microsoft products. There are free, open source alternatives to all their products.
Replace Windows with Linux. Replace Word with Libre Office.
Switching to Libre office would take you less than 10 minutes and MS can and does delete pdfs. Why are you so triggered?
I can understand using it on work device, but you have to be a right moron to use it for your personal documents.
u/M-I-vet how about you fuck off with your damn stealth account, how many do you control????

And I can't count the number of times I have inadvertently turned something on or off in Word while trying to outsmart its tyrannical macros.
I don't agree 100% but I do love this spicy take.

Makes us look bad this is the kind of stuff I expected from the left but not us.

If there is a will there is a way. Losers are whiners though.

I use Free Office.
I like Libre Office.
LibreOffice will still flag this phrase. I agree with your advice though. Everyone should switch to Linux and LibreOffice.

I understand the need to stop feeding the beast that is big tech, but wokeness is a disease that permeates open source tech projects as well.
