I still use Wordpad to write all my gay dinosaur erotica, am I safe?
Last time I checked there was Copilot integration in NotePad. So I wouldn't assume WordPad is safe from anything

Thank you to the skilled developers who bailed on OpenOffice when the shit stain company Oracle bought Sun, and formed LibreOffice.
I can only hope there will always be digital freedom fighters on the side of good.
I've donated to LibreOffice, and you should too, if you use their suite.

this has been goin on for like a year now. i have an offline profile with no onedrive on my machine, and tried the latest office. theres a slider saying autosave, but i was unable to use it. felt kinda weird that there is no autosave feature anymore. turns out autosave has been a cloud save option, and poor excel was not able to savemy private data to the onedrive datafarm. also the new excel is super slow compared to like the 2016 version, which indicates that theres more bloat under the hood.

and also "let us train copilot on your college essays".
"Fuck you, Microsoft." -Everyone, at all times
Even if you're not ready to come to Linux, you're definitely ready to switch to LibreOffice. I dare you to try it.

This is certainly about making sure your files are safe and definitely not about stealing your data for training AI. /s
Don't let Murdersoft steal your data. Don't contribute to their corruption or genocide assistance.

Idiots will still not know where anything is saved. Catering to the technologically illiterate has made society way more illiterate.
I suppose this means Microsoft will not count Word doc file sizes against users' cloud storage quotas, right? Right??
