I absolutely love the fact that we’ll most likely never get rid of stuff like that in AI generated content. There will always be things that are wrong/wonky with it.

The problem is when they start making it acceptable to the masses

Especially when a good senior dev with a good grasp of AI can do wonders.

Well Google contributes a lot to open source, but I get your point.

Another thing we couldn’t have possibly seen coming!

One of the only things no amount of money can buy: consent

Fair, markdown, git and pandoc could work but, it might be too big of a jump for someone used to Word

Is Word mandatory or is Word compatible good enough ?

Because LibreOffice is pretty good, you could even push it further with pandoc, inputting markdown and outputting word documents.

Otherwise, as others suggested, Wine with an older Office version should do the trick

I get where you’re coming from, but perfect is the enemy of good enough. You can’t expect everyone to go vegan, but you can encourage people to give up as many animal products as possible.

That would already be a massive step in the right direction

I’m not a geologist so my explanation might not be 100% correct, but a mineral is a bunch of molecules set up in a crystalline pattern, so ice is a mineral form of water. Or, water is the lava of ice, ice being technically a rock.

I mean, ice is technically a mineral so, that’s at least two tasty rocks

I have the option to use WSL at work, it’s not perfect but it’s so much better than having to code on a glorified web browser.

Breaking up the Google/Android/Chrome monopoly would be a good start

It’s always the same, big shocking announcement, public outcry, pushing forward with a less shocking version, public acceptance, and then rolling out the rest of the initial plan. Why do we keep falling for it?

Game of Thrones went from a worldwide cultural phenomenon to barely a footnote pretty much overnight. That says a ton on how disappointingly the show ended.

Definitely not beginner friendly. Yunohost is great for beginners.

Not wishing death to anyone, but reading some obituaries with great pleasure

A lot worse, Jesus can’t be weaponized. Oh, wait…

Trash can lemonade for lemon parties !

Nope, but close enough ! The first one we got is called Glitch, we then got another almost identical black cat so we called her Copycat or Copy for short

I’m a tech guy, I work with it all day everyday, I love it and what we can do with it. But I also absolutely hate what’s being done with it. I love the tech behind generative AI, LLMs, automation, computers in general, Linux, etc. But man, when I see the shit being pulled by tech companies and governments, it makes my blood boil, and I’m genuinely terrified for the future.We could do so much better…

So probably a strong -6
