Good resellers do, but I think my point still stands - why risk any of that when Microsoft doesn’t get your money either way?
MAS/Massgrave works effectively, is open source, is well-documented, and literally free.

Considering the grey market is filled with dodgy keys, it’d be better to just pirate, especially when there are easy and safe ways to do it like with MAS

If you must have MS office, then I’d go with MAS/Massgrave like others have said.

It’s well documented, requires minimal setup (if going default route), and is much less risky than going into the grey market for keys or downloading cracks elsewhere.

Haste makes waste - if you want quality content, let the dev and their team take the time they need.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I would be inclined to agree with the majority here. Your choice to have their cookies deleted on browser close is adding more friction to an already quite high friction process - you managed to get them to switch over, you don’t want to undo all that over cookies of all things.

You have to remember, it is their machine at the end of the day, and while you might be able to put up with having to redo 2FA loads due to cookie deletion, they’re clearly not… And if that’s going to be the dealbreaker, you’re far better off forgetting cookie deletion for now and focusing on more passive privacy options like blocking 3rd party cookies, trackers, and ADs.

I was genuinely confused by this statistic until I realised it was a double negative. YouTube losen’t Google a lot of money.

I’d love to chance to play a bunch of nostalgic titles - just off the top of my head I’d play DOOM, Uplink, Darwinia, Morrowind, and my trashy favourite from that era Themepark world. There are definitely more if I had time to think about it.

Dude - you’re either stupid enough to not realise the irony of what you’ve just said, or you’re trolling. For your sake, I kinda hope it’s the latter

Yeah - that was my worry.

Unification of standards only works if everyone agrees to use it and only it (i.e. mobile phones and USB C), otherwise you’re just adding another one to the pile.

The rest of the world got the right version of the man’s work

Which is (or at least should be) “Aluminium” because that’s the internationally agreed IUPAC spelling.

We gave up the cooler spelling of Sulfur to be consistent with IUPAC - if we can do that, then surely giving up on “-num” should be a cakewalk.

Except it’s not clickbait - I’ll cite Wikipedia so you can look yourself, but they’re not the same thing.

Rose Gold is a proper alloy of Gold, made with Copper.

Purple Gold is an “intermetalic” (which have a different molecular structure to normal alloys and thus are more brittle), and is made with Aluminium.

Due to it’s brittleness even amongst intermetalics, it is considered hard to work with, much more so than a proper alloy like Rose Gold. The only similarity they share is their colour ranges can overlap dependent on how they’re made.

Was about to say, seems like an example of a malicious advert than what they’re actually trying to look for

Was about to comment the same thing…

Green guy was pointing out that fl4pper was wrong about Linux not having support for professional recording software, that isn’t the same as calling them a liar.

Going after the copyright holder for infringing on your work, which by merely existing commercially infringes on their copyright, is one hell of a way to get sued out the arse…

Having said that, it is a crime that LOTR still hasn’t entered the public domain yet.

Does Reddit not realise that their own internal search is so bad most people will search for answers on Reddit via Google. They’re gonna shoot themselves hard-core in thd foot pulling that move.

If you read into the blog post this links to, you’ll find that is only the opening argument, not the whole argument as you say.

My first paragraph reacts to that… and to be honest, I’m still going to say isn’t that controversial.

When most people think of Open Source, they’re not thinking about the OSL, they’re thinking colloquially (as in the source being open to the public). I suspect he was using that wording colloquially as well - whether that was a slip up or intentional, I don’t know, but considering he goes out of his way to let us know about the way Grayjay’s licensing works, I don’t think he’s trying to hide anything by it.

The rest of what I said afterwards was my first reaction towards the rest of the blog, and I stand by it.

One can certainly argue it’s not “open source” so much as “source available”, but I don’t think it’s that controversial.

They’re providing a product, and obviously don’t want other people slapping their name on it and selling what they worked hard to make. Their license makes it easier for them to enforce that.

They also obviously don’t want people creating malicious forks of their program, like what keeps happening with NewPipe. So their license also makes it easier for them to enforce that.

If you want to encourage more companies to make their source code available, then maybe we shouldn’t shit on those that are.

Plus, per Rossman’s own words, you don’t even have to buy Grayjay for it to work, it’ll just ask you, ala Winrar. Give them a break.

It’s very difficult to just burst into the mainstream without carving out a niche first, and Meta’s Metaverse failed because they couldn’t carve out that niche.

Though even if they had tried, the very tech nerds who would be their early adopters already don’t trust them because of their shady deals (did anybody say Cambridge Analytica scandel?), so they weren’t ever going to fork out money for this.

Guys, he’s not that bad…

He’s only a money hoarding billionaire who came from a glut of generational wealth obtained through other’s suffering via his father’s Emerald mine, which Musk vehemently denies exists in order to build up his image of being self-made.

I mean it’s not like his father used that wealth to boost him up by being among the first angel investors in his first company, ZIP2, something else which he vehemently denies to keep up his self-made image.

It’s not like he went on to use the money he got from selling ZIP2 to become an early angel investor “co-founder” of X.com, which he then essentially forced the actual founders out of before selling that onwards as well.

It’s not like he then went onto use almost the exact tactic to force/sue his way into being a “co-founder” of Tesla.

And it’s definitely not like he had a friend get appointed Administrator of NASA, who conveniently decided to award SpaceX almost $300 million, despite them not having flown any rockets yet.

His daughter is obviously worried about nothing, and he just needed to prove her wrong by cack-handedly buying out the platform she used to speak out in order to control her in the name of free speech.
