the catch is when you really need specifically O365 for some reason, e.g. we had to get the O365 download version for my kid's schooling because that was the specific version the "this is how you do office shit" classes were taught against, the online O365 didn't cut it

of course even the teacher was telling the kids "look you should just use libreoffice" lol

why don't people who think what we do is terrible and corrupt make us feel better about ourselves? this just shows their bad faith,

because (a) it's trivially growth-hacked by making it suck (b) they did in fact growth-hack it by making it suck, and presumably this was obvious to many involved.

basically the whole area is gallopping enshittification. Until this blowup, I had seriously been considering Kagi too.

it's important to notice that this is an actual real life use case for ML - an AI that will quickly flag positives in a batch of scans. This is real and is used. With due caution by people who know what the fuck they're doing. None of these fucks have heard of it, of course.

it would also be nice to have a magical flying unicorn pony that ejaculates rainbows, but all we got is this retired seaside donkey with a cornetto strapped to its head and we fed it food colouring and laxatives
