Thanks for this, nuance in this day and age are always welcome :)

The movie is probably referring to Reefer Madness, whose propaganda is so absurd it's kinda hilarious. It's a movie that literally only works as propaganda if the viewer knows absolutely nothing about weed.

Mm ok good to know. I just thought the timing was interesting.

I use LibreOffice calc and have little issues, all about your use case though. Worth a shot at least.

Word alternatives are easy, how about Excel?

Thanks

KDE chefs kiss, they solved one my biggest frustrations I've ever had. In the world of being connected and all this cloud shit the 100 step process I needed to do to move a picture or document from my phone to my pc like fuck. With KDE wow just wow.So convenient so easy. The joy and relief It brought.

I just love KDE. It makes every os better. Not sure what os is even doing for me to be honest since I'm a visual user.

I moved to Linux. I really liked Linux mint, but had some issues. Dove deep into learning about Linux to get at least a slight understanding.

Absolutely LOVE cachyos with KDE plasma desktop environment. It even has an app page on load up to download everything I needed, steam, DVD burner, librewolf, etc etc.

i've got someone here clinging to winme of all things. it's only just this year started to be a 'problem', i.e. not allow him to do something he wants to.

that's not even the dumbest part.

he got a replacement years ago--that's literally still new-in-box. that new pc has sat unopened and unused for its windows' entire service life.

the old coot lives too far away for me to go help. i keep asking him to bring it all to me to see what's what, but he hasn't yet.

I bought RAM in 2026 because of how much I want to finally get rid of Windows. Can't wait to get my build up and running.

The actual answer is just don't click the virus links

You're commenting on a thread ostensibly discussing that video.

if you're not afraid to give winks towards piracy - in Netflix alternatives i'd also include Stremio. the base app is fully legal, and kinda useless, but with just one plugin (torrentio) it replaces all streaming services

Games have a cultural element to it.

Non-game software doesn't. It's much harder to convince politicians.

The argument for non-game software would be economical. But most big companies pay the subscriptions, since they want to have the latest version (if not for the features, at least for the security patches). So they're not affected. The most affected by this is consumers and small companies. Which don't have a lot of power.

The way to fix this is to support the competitors that don't do this kind of shit. For office in particular, there's even free alternatives.

"I know something you don't know, which makes sense because it's not common knowledge, and I'm going to make you feel like shit about it."

Can't they just run an older version of LibreOffice?

I got a key like this from Groupon of all places

Not much different than their revoking of Win 11 licenses because the hardware changed...

They'll keep pulling this BS because people are 'locked in'.

"But the DARE officer said drugs are scary and I saw that movie about how weed makes you a psycho killer."

That was not a real sale.

It's a fake article pretending that there's a sale in order to make affiliate money selling grey market keys from msdn. Those keys activate, but they don't come with a valid license to use, those are supposed for testing only on that specific msdn account.

It works like this: the fake tech blog gets 40%, the rest goes to the keys seller, Microsoft gets 0%.

Fuck Microsoft, but at that point is more ethical to just use massgrave and activate it for free

o lol
