13 out of 6 workers do this, only 1 in 6 is willing to admit it out loud.

So basically you "word-googled" how to do something.

UCP are legit thugs. Why people won't ever get this through their heads, I can't even.

Number one reason why you don't mix politics and religious fanatics.

This is flag no.2, on the Jabroni to Bitcoin scale of it's a sham: the "Enjoy being a loser if you don't join us all on our quote unquote Journey" flag.

Have someone check it out, it sounds like a slow leak maybe. It can be really hard to find those sometimes.

For casual users, sure. For professional users the answer isn't as cut and dried, especially when it comes to Excel users. For one, the last time I checked Libre's Calc version of solver was nowhere near as useful as the version of Solver that plugs into Excel. It also bogs down under more intense spreadsheets. You also can run into some weird formatting issues trying to go between the two, and when you have people with low intelligence or low patience involved, that alone can be a deal breaker.

Albeit It's been awhile since I've used Libreoffice, so I mean they might have solved some of this stuff by now. But that's mainly the reason for my usage of Office. Ain't saying I love office either, it's FULL of bugs that are more historical than Benjamin Franklin, yet they refuse to ever address them or add any real actual innovation to newer products. But like it or hate it, it's long been established as an office staple and we have to live with it.

It's the next stage of corporate capitalism. It's actually been underway for the past 20-30 years. We've seen the rise of the class of corporate overlords, none of whom could actually do the jobs beneath them, and add value of dubious quantity and quality. They take their MBAs and leveraged debt, and hack and chop, leaving a trail of chaos and dysfunctional broken companies behind them.

AI is just the next phase of this, and is going to be an economic destroyer, not value creator. Nobody seems to care that it can't actually really do much useful, let alone replace people in their jobs. This seems completely lost to all of these corporate dweebs though, because again, none of them could actually do any of the jobs beneath them when the chips fall.

What AI could maybe replace though, is the executive lair of most companies. It's not like neither add any fucking value, actually having AI in an executive role would probably lead to value creation, as everyone else could just largely ignore it unless it was useful.

What a world we live in.

And here it starts. The invasion of the reddit power mods.

Just literally ignore these fucking geeks. Don't even pay them any attention.

You first, Smith. Treasonist bitch.

Broderbund is right up there with top tier game makers, their games may be largely relegated to the history books now, but for all the right reasons. You didn't even have to be a big video gamer, to appreciate one for their products (think Carmen Sandiego or Sim City). They definitely had an outsized impact on the industry, and I think we'd all be in a better place today if companies like them were allowed to thrive. Instead we get private equity, beta tier releases and preordering. Not to even mention all these stupid remake$

Rocky Mountain Soap is the cats meow, I love their shampoo. The kids really like their bubble bath too. They've got a rebranding going on, it kind of smells like external funding, but for what I know of right this minute, 100% Canadian.

Bluesky is definitely quite different. I'm a fairly centre kind of person, maybe a bit left leaning in a lot of ways, but bluesky is definitely attracting a lot of extreme left users. I mean it's not like that's a totally bad thing, I'd rather deal with extreme left than extreme right any day of the week, and I still hope the platform is successful. I just don't find myself using it that much because most of the content is a bit over the top. Also it's owned by Mormon backed private equity, so there's that too..big fan of federation social media these days.
