No, it’s not even close to one of the greatest threats. Of course it’s up to shady s***, of that there can be no doubt, but it’s not ranked in the top five.

Classic baitclick.

Reasons depend on the person. Of course it’s a giant mix of what everyone has written already.

Remember that the billionaires want more money and power. They love to use discrimination to get regular folk to fight against each other, while they get even richer. For example, the immigration prisons, those are privately run, right? Free money. Musk’s Starlink contracts with the feds? Free money.

The rich will always find shady ways to get richer. Usually it’s really obvious, if you stop and look for it. Many of them are also racist and sexist, and some are nazis.

In Minot? Good god, not likely.

Now now. Don’t blame women.

Luigi will always be in our hearts.

Yes. They need to move quickly. Public opinion is already shifting against Trump and Musk, and right now they are vulnerable.

No no, we should be praising him. Clearly he needs a designated driver.

I don’t think they are trying to sabotage their own products. It really is that they’re not smart enough to see where is the value is. And this is kind of understandable, right? The underlying software has been copied already. It’s out there. If that company has value it’s only the user base. But that puts management in the strange situation where everything they are doing to make money is making their own product worse. And they kind of know it, right? But they can’t admit it. They can’t think about it clear. Their own mental stability relies on ignoring the obvious truths that they see and read every day.

“risking”? No no no. “promising”

Well now they are not getting the money. So their loophole did not work so well.

And risk losing the money? No, my friend. Safer to assume it’s fraud.

What the fuck headline is that. No, we haven’t done that, because we’re careful about that shit.

My friend, FOSS has been readily available for more than a decade. Whether it’s LibreOffice or the GIMP or VLC or whatever, these are very old pieces of software.

It’s not taking off now. It already did. But now you personally are noticing. :-)

Zotero is the tool you want. It works perfectly.

The formatting… The formatting that you can easily modify. Sigh. It takes two minutes, my friend.

Anyway, you do you.

If that’s his best he needs a new career and a new brain

You see a bug, he sees a feature. What kind of government does he want? Just listen to him. Believe him the first time, as they say.

No, it can’t. Passports take months to get and cost money, for example. Disenfranchisement of the poor.

Also, why would Trump stop here? Wannabe dictators never let opponents compete fairly. If you overcome this hurdle, he’ll just make another ruling designed to undercut your vote. That’s why we need to fight against all of his changes. The power grab itself is the existential threat, not the individual action.

I’ve never had compatibility issues. Of course many people have, but a lot of the time people are blindly speculating about potential badness.

Of course there are alternatives to Excel. Anyone pretending otherwise has only worked at a few places and is generalizing with great but mistaken confidence.

But even if there weren’t, think about those companies living on the edge of one software breakdown. There’s a word for that: brittle. Meh, YOLO.
