I think I read somewhere they want to buy Chrome from Google if they are forced to sell. So not many changes, just switching owners who ultimately do the same thing.

i’m not a Chrome user, so screw both google and perplexity.

don’t forget the rudeness of some people. they behave like the whole building is a hotel and they can do whatever they damn well please.

If it were up to me, I would obliterate this concept. Hotels are for holidays, not people’s houses where everyone brings along their holiday brains and are being generally disrespectful towards the communities.

Maybe Sam Altman should invest in LLMs that appreciate his insights and pretend to give a shit.

Well, I guess there is no universal answer and it obviously can’t be some generic method of achieving this,but what I did was to explain in detail how MsOffice is basically just a standard because people made it so out of convenience and lack of true alternatives and it’s not cheap, plus whatever is made freely available by a corporation means it’s actually you paying with your data for it.

It’s a process and you’d have to convince him to at least allow you to show them side by side or explain how it’s always up to date and you don’t have to throw money at it every x years just because it’s called MsOffice202x, because the benefits of upgrading are not worth the money.

It ain’t easy, I know… but I am also providing support myself when requested, which can become a headache fast, especially with “difficult” people.

I managed to get my father in law to fully switch to libreoffice, which is in itself a great achievement, as he’s almost 70 and he used to be an msoffice user for most of his adult professional life.

Libreoffice is just great and Europe should start backing and using more open source, non greedy corporate backed projects.

i’ve had none of those issues and i’ve been a jellyfin user for the past 5 years or so, but I do use containers for the server.

Android client is not great, but there are alternatives like Findroid, which is pretty great.

Last point is literally a couple of clicks. You just need to understand what libraries are and how to add them.
