It also takes the fun out of mischievous rule breaking/bending if you are the sort that likes to push boundaries. It's an acknowledgement of the cat and mouse game and a meta ask to not play it here, implying the other player won't find it fun.
Again only works for good faith actors.
I say this as a guy who can't help but think of rules lawyering to see what could technically be done within them.
Same. The only reason to keep a consistent subscription was because I was sharing it. Now I'm subscription free!
Oh no I meant just using libreoffice. I don't even want to MS Office on windows, trying to get to work on wine seems like a nightmare.
Ahh tracking. I've never seen a work flow that used data flowing well between MS products. I've never had an incompatibility issue yet either, but I believe it, certainly on excel, that program can be a beast.
I want to like, because well I want to have an OS that just works on my work computer, but at least my experience has been less then optimal.
Honestly looking forward to doing an analysis of Gitlab for project, agile release trains, and portfolio management. I would love to have service desk, devs, and managers all looking at the same thing.
Why do you need MS office?
I wasn't sure what to call it either. I'm not a subscription fan either...
Desktop as a service. With the latest feature being worked where apps can be handed off to another compositor, I want the next stage where my compositor and desktop can be swapped with my intervention or notice. Wanna do redundancy? Running the backup live as a hot swap. Wanna do live updates with no interruption? Start the next compositor, try and loads the apps, if nothing breaks, swap the user, if the user doesn't hit the notification to revert kill the last session.
Add in better remote compositor support and it can get really cool. Allowing for a distributed DE across your devices. Making high availability more possible as well, but that might actually be overkill.
Oh man I was playing with Mycroft and Mozzilla's Deepspeach back in the day just for this. Though honestly a free desktop supported API that apps could integrate still seems like the best way for this. The next one would be getting Voice User Interface (VUI) support into major frameworks so it's just native to apps built with major frame works. The latter makes more sense AFTER the desktop API starts getting standardized.
Should have seized it instead literally chasing at wind mills.
