Unfortunately the inevitable enshitification of our lives by capitalism will continue, even if we remove it from our lives as much as we are able.
What microsoft does to its products, it also does to our governments and civil liberties, social media does to society and democracy, data brokers do to privacy, zillow does to housing security, wallstreet does to economic mobility and financial regulations, etc, etc, etc.
yep, and tons of other reasons, too. i agree with everything you said, but i say that the largest contributor might sound a bit controversial… it all comes down to “kids these days”. or maybe not, but i still think it’s a major component.
edit - i forgot to mention that ‘kids these days’ goes back as far as written time
edit2 - i’m sorry - i’m totally butchering my point.
Yeah, but non profits are bullshit in almost every instance. From the guy running a women’s homeless shelter near me that has 6 rooms but never has more than 2 occupied, one 9f which has lived there for years and seems very “friendly” with the guy running it, while he denies everyone else that tries to get in the place, but keeps collecting money, to all the large non profits that pay their people running it hundreds of thousands a year.
you’re right, and - to your point - Linux vs. Windows poses some potential challenges for some organizations who still cling to the hope that they’ll still hold onto control of anything an a year or two.
on linux, you can access all microsoft office apps for free by using your browser (which is what will totally replace the shit you own in a few years anyway).
so, please tell me why you pay for ads on your OS?
hard to have a conversation with someone who just downvotes shit they don’t think they agree with, but whatever. everything’s a fucking popularity contest now.
Bootstraps, folks! Microsoft is basically BEGGING you to try Linux, and it’s now easier than ever - even easier than installing Windows!

you know, i always wondered why of all places to attack, they chose the twin towers. starting to understand it now.
The twin towers made a ton of sense:

What exactly does Linux offer that M365 does? Linux is an operating system, not a full suite of business management software.
Ackshually Linux is a kernel.
If you take “Linux” broadly, you could piece together a business management stack.

I don’t have ads on my OS, Windows.

I downvoted you because of this:
This is garbage. This isn’t true. It’s spreading BS. Perfect use of the downvote button.
