I'm not buying or spending money in any more games with a killswitch

Even in death, I must still stoke the dying fire of capitalism.

The simple answer: nobody is actually reading any of these licenses. I run into the problem constantly and even people who should know better do not (most of our IT staff for example...)

Using the find function on my phone browser doesn't find it but it does come up when manually scrolling and as long as you don't move too far the find works. I'm thinking there is some sort of rendering magic going on, would explain why scrolling is so fast.

Windows documentation is an absolute mess. The only reason you can claim it is "documented" is the sheer volume of users, but that's not necessarily a good thing when suggested fixes include registry edits, disabling security features, and running everything as an admin.

Is she familiar with Animal Crossing? If so check out Dinkum. Other suggestions: Terraria, Core Keeper, Minecraft, and there is always classic FPS games lol. I learned WSAD in Quake

Doesn't Factorio have a mod that hosts a local server you can connect to with your browser and view the map? Or am I thinking about Minecraft?

Excel is probably the one sore spot for LibreOffice, but also Google's suite and really everyone else. Excel is tough to beat, especially when you consider the additional power of things like Power Query and Excel on web having JavaScript functions.

That said: I truly despise pivot tables and I no longer use them. I use lookups, countif, or other functions to display what I need, otherwise I use Power Query.

Plenty of countries have lots of guns. Virtually none of them have any significant number of mass terror shootings, even the ones with otherwise high rates of gun violence.

America is built different.

I've seen everyone using AI at work and it's bad. They're clueless and just trust it implicitly. I've had to correct many mistakes, even made by IT admins who should really know better.

I'd go so far as to say my imposter syndrome has outright died after watching the ineptitude of people as they let AI tooling rot their work.

I knew a guy who used "delayed" as an insult after HR told him to stop calling people retards. It offended people just as much but wasn't against the rules.

People will find a way.
