Excel is the one actual critical application because it deals with data (and formulae), data which is only useful when you maintain its integrity (hopefully you’re not storing dates).

Word is just a shitty application for text. Needs that can usually be adequately addressed by a plain text file (or plain text email). It thinks it’s a desktop publishing application (goodbye MS Publisher). Any tool that can do rudimentary text processing will suffice for the vast majority of use cases. One might have footnotes and some meta data that might be important, other apps do that well. Even markdown can do that.

PowerPoint, likewise, is a shitty slide show application. Any equivalent will suffice.

There’s quite a few other apps, I forget those.

Not being able to paste a jpg of a screenshot into an Excel sheet embedded in a Word document is a feature.

I posit that the vast majority of users of Office would be just fine with any of the lightweight web app equivalents.

I have but one up vote and this is solid gold.

It’s hilarious. It’s also different. I enjoyed all three.

It did disappoint a lot of people, and that’s fine too.

I’m surprised he has “a pool guy”. Usually you’d want to be paid.

They’re selected for this because they’re all near-perfect cubes.

There’s a bag of ‘uglies’ under the table that look more like the one on the right embedded in the quartz(?).

Still amazing though.

I wasn’t sure about how I could HypethTread^TM a pigeon, so avoided voiding my warranty.

Knife Out

It’s only one pigeon.

Some of us have multiple pigeons though.

I’m remembering from back in the ol’ single core days too. Where an interrupt was, well, an interrupt.

Couldn’t quite remember how it worked, just that USB didn’t CPU interrupt:-)

USB keyboards yelling into the void in the background hoping to be noticed.

It’ll still produce better markup than MS Frontpage.

But that’s like saying someone’s asshole would produce a better ‘cake’ with a light dusting of icing sugar.

ISP issues a prefix that I delegate.

Also delegate an ULA prefix, intended for stake local addresses but d actually just use ipv4 for those (also had difficulty getting ipv6 to work with microk8s and multus due to inexperience).

SLAAC.

The body has a way of just shutting that down.

“Ooh, look who’s fancy now?” – Atari and Commodore.

A laptop is just a PC crammed into a keyboard… with a monitor crammed on top.

People have been driving off with the fuel pump still connected since they were invented :-)

That’s just the EVolution of the same problem :-)

It’s that Meta treats every human it engages with as an object to extract value from: customers, users, employees.

WTF are they doing with fifteen thousand employees?

Well. You also shouldn’t try to drive a car while charging either…
