  It’s not like my 2016 version will stop working. Just means I’ll have to setup a SharePoint server to sync with mobile devices.

  Eff 365.

  Thats fine, I actually prefer my software to not receive constant “upbreaks”

  Setup a personal VPN like Tailscale, Wireguard, etc, and it’s no longer remote playback.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram's Pavel Durov has left France to go to Dubai, reportedly after a judge authorized him to leave the country for “several weeks”; the investigation is ongoing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  French authorities have accused the Telegram co-founder of enabling illicit activities on the messaging app.

  This is so laughable, because it’s blatant selective enforcement.

  If he’s guilty, then Facebook/Meta/Google, etc, etc, are guilty too - even more guilty by orders of magnitude.

  They just have the government connections to protect them.

  Thought I saw a headline about him living 90 days, implying he didn’t live longer. Sorry, I didn’t click on it to verify that my inference was accurate.

  That sweet, sweet data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think too many people will get caught short. I haven’t seen a company using it since before MS acquired it.

  In the publishing/layout world, there are much better products… Or there used to be. PowerPoint and Word can’t come close to what a page layout program can do. I use it all the time for simple stuff that would take longer using Word, and I wouldn’t even try even slightly complex stuff with word.

  I suspect of lot of page layout is outsourced by companies any more, which is why MS is killing it. Weird.

  Guess I need to find the latest full version, I only have Pub 2016.

  I’ve been worried about this with Publisher since MS acquired it in the mid 90’s. It’s always been a niche product (I used it before it was an MS product).

  Frankly I’m surprised it’s survived this long.

  Thankfully I have a standalone copy. Screw Office 365.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Used to Teach Students. Now I Catch ChatGPT Cheats.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once believed university was a shared intellectual pursuit. That faith has been obliterated

  Dude, I lost that faith during my first month, decades ago.

  Even worse, Robert Pirsig documents the loss in “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, written (partly) about his experience as a professor in the 1960’s.

  3? You’ve been playing THREE games? How? Where do you find the time!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨folder syncronization⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And depending on the OS on the other end:

  Windows - SyncTrayzor Android - Syncthing-Fork iOS - Möbius Linux - Syncthing

  Syncthing is just such a great sync tool. Best alternative to it is Resilio Sync. They each have their pros/cons.
