Just looked, didn’t even need to upvote, you’re just over 20 as of just now

…modding?

like the peanut butter?

like the clear soda?

Oh. Asked and answered, thanks!

Maybe “no one” can read it because “everyone “ posts YouTube links with some SEO bullshit shouting at me like a fucking tabloid, instead of a link to the readme of the video (transcript)? I know I’m old man shouts at void here but STFFFFFFFFU. Tldw.

Same. Audacity sniffing my local private stuff, NOPE. Tenacity instead thanks

I reacted accurately. Mozilla blog today: “ Improving online advertising through product and infrastructure” 🤑

“Seem” : had been, were previously. Now, Mozilla’s values seem no longer reliably aligned with privacy and user control

Someone bought ALL the thrift store DVDs in all my small city’s thrift stores, like four of them. People are starting to know that self-ownership is where everyone is going

Sorry idk specifically how to avoid the update, but the linked ArsTechnica article has some advice

Someone here advised & I’d agree: use a Windows VM, for things you haven’t found the Linux version of yet.

Windows’s plan to screenshot everything will include your private artistic work too, so you’ll be doing yourself a favor

What pushed me over the edge: the threat of Windows screenshotting everything I did.

Absolutely fucking not. Took it all to Ubuntu the day after I heard. Couple days later everything I need was set up & a few months later I haven’t looked back

Seconded, why not OnlyOffice? (maybe parent commenter got names confused 🤷‍♂️ no judgement)

as for OpenOffice vs Libre Office— IIRC Libre has more recent development on it, which IMHO feels like a good sign for open source software; it’s kept more up to date

The amount of disinformation bots or actors on any thread anywhere— despite what blamethrowing you might see in any direction — is incalculable. Trust no comment!

Good god, it takes 25 years to set up Linux? What happened to 8 hours for every minor problem?! I’m never gonna be free of WinBLOWS :(

Well, it’s plausible you’ve ingested enough influence from enough propaganda sources that you yourself believe what they’ve told you, & you parrot it back out, which sorta makes you, in the limited context of one comment, functionally indistinguishable from a propaganda worker, who probably has been replaced by an AI bot bc those can do more of that work.

So ya can’t really blame me for the shorthand of just referring to you as one, yknow?

Correct, it was that blog And “Slimy_4og” you sound like one of the many disinformation AI bots farting around now

I’ve heard enough bad things about it to stay well away. Which is too bad bc it’s quite good atm! I just expect it to hoover up my data & get enshittified sooner than later & the CEO is Musk-level BSer 🤷‍♂️👍

I don’t want to see heterosexuals but you don’t see me legislating against you, subtly erasing you, and actively hunting you. So no. You’re not excused, sweet cheeks.

100% she means “anything that’s even remotely close to …THAT shudder”
