They should switch to LibreOffice then, with Syncthing if they need to sync it across multiple computers.

- Comment on 1 week ago:
I don’t have a Steam Deck, but those are just famous games regardless. For example, I play TW3 and SDV.

What game is that?
- Comment on Slimbook reveal the upgraded Slimbook Fedora 2 with 14" and 16" models 3 weeks ago:
I can read all about it, except for the cost and how to buy one.

Hah, I happen to be playing this right now.
- Comment on Meta now requires users to verify their age to use its Quest VR headsets 1 month ago:
Was never going to get one of those anyway, just one more reason not to.
- Comment on The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC 1 month ago:
I don’t think that’s necessary, just download Jan.
- Comment on The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC 1 month ago:
If you have a decent computer, it can run pretty capable LLMs on your own computer (without Internet, an account, or censorship) fairly fast
- Comment on The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC 1 month ago:
I have Super+B mapped to open Copilot on my Linux machine, as well as, like you, having the Copilot app on my phone. But I also have Jan mapped to open with Super+J.
- Comment on Tidal has found the right way to share music with friends. 1 month ago:
No, the right way is sharing an mp3 file.
- Comment on Where’d my results go? Google Search’s chatbot is no longer opt-in 1 month ago:
Do they not still block it for under 18s and non signed in users?
- Comment on Android 15 gets satellite messaging, starts foldable cover app support 1 month ago:
I thought that was just to get the Google addons like encryption? Is the whole protocol proprietary?
- Comment on Android 15 gets satellite messaging, starts foldable cover app support 1 month ago:
I don’t see any F-Droid apps using RCS either, so it’s clearly not just because of Google’s play store limitations.
- Comment on Google reshapes Fitbit in its image as users allege “planned obsolescence” 1 month ago:
From what I’ve heard, the battery life is horrible, doesn’t even last 2 full days.

Sorry, I must have missed that the first time round. Thanks for the help!
- Comment on Pornhub shuts down in Texas to protest age verification law 1 month ago:
So that I don’t have control of what my own device shows? No, I’m not a fan of it.
- Comment on Pornhub shuts down in Texas to protest age verification law 1 month ago:
So they support device based age verification? If that’s any more than a prompt ‘Are you over 18?’, that’s disappointing.
- Comment on Got Chiaki4Deck up and running, well worth it! 1 month ago:
What’s the latency like?
- Comment on Abysmal revenue stats of 30K mobile apps show why devs keep pushing for subs 2 months ago:
Ah, yes, because you make apps for money, not because you have an idea you want to share with the world. /s
- Comment on Google won't let you use its Gemini AI to answer questions about an upcoming election in your country 2 months ago:
Fortunately, other models still are uncensored. So this is inconsequential.
- Comment on Apple to allow iOS app installs from websites, but small devs don’t qualify 2 months ago:
The DMA was very poorly written if it allows this. Apple are obviously going to try and get away with as much as they can, but they shouldn’t be able to do this without being fined.
- Comment on Apple will cut off third-party app store updates if your iPhone leaves the EU for a month 2 months ago:
How is that legal according to the DMA?
- Comment on Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down 2 months ago:
It’s annoying that if it would have gone to court it would have probably lost because the system in most western countries (not sure which exact one Yuzu is based in) is based in such a way that intellectual ‘property’ needs to be considered a real thing in terms of law to protect people who make ideas/information rather than material things so they have an income (because an income is necessary in this economic system) so therefore piracy is against the law and information itself is policed - ironically, it was the Nazis who burned books, and China with its Great Firewall that were justly criticised.
But when a big company like Nintendo, in kahoots with the western legal system wants to control the spread of information (code is just information), most people don’t care or even support it. As though they think a country where a few large companies can stop information being legally or easily shared is great, because it makes sure people pay for their art or music (money they need because there is a universal basic income - which is clearly (/s) terrible or inconceivable).
Sorry about the wall of text, I feel that kind of ran on a bit. But I have a lot of frustration I need to get out about this that can only be negated by ranting at strangers on the Internet who have no more power than me to do anything about it.
- Comment on Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down 2 months ago:
What, like a sponsored segment? I hate when companies force other people to say stuff.
- Comment on Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down 2 months ago:
Not really, based on their Twitter statement. It seems like they swallowed the ‘piracy bad, we must stop piracy, and therefore this app’ hook like and sinker.
