Google support is a joke, I had to RMA a tablet, obviously went through all the troubleshooting before (factory reset included). The dude on the Hotline was like: "fantastic you did everything I would have told you. Unfortunately our system doesn't accept that way of working I need to send you an email with the same troubleshooting steps you already did and you need to call again in a few minutes and confirm to a new support agent that you followed what the email told you"

To their credit it was accepted afterwards with no issues but that whole process is more than braindead

It's not, it's just that with enough mainstream media coverage about scary internet stories normies are slowly waking up to what the internet is and how you should conduct yourself on it. Of course any terminally online person could have told you that 20 years ago but those are not most people. Hell even if you do know better good luck convincing your family, I know I tried for years with negligible results other than one of them now using a password manager.

Open office has been dead for years now. The core team moved to Libre Office

Yeah fun fact I actually looked this up a few days ago in the wayback machine because I own a beta account. Back then it was just Notch selling the game and the "agreement" if you can call it that on the site basically just said "you own the game forever, no drm".

I'm not a lawyer or anything but I suspect that unless they somehow tricked users of old mojang account to agree to Microsoft TOS after the purchase of Mojang what Microsoft did may be very legally questionable. But the main issue is who is gonna sue them over 20 bucks. They know they can get away with it

It's not always that simple and I also don't want to do the testing and support that requires. I'm not gonna set up a windows vm and 5 different Linux vms and get a Mac to build and test for every platform. If you want to use my software you're welcome to do so but unless you're paying me I don't see why I should provide a service that is just a pain in the ass for me. Open sourcing the code alone is already a commitment that not everyone is willing to do as that requires documentation, issue tracking, community support and much more. I build stuff that I want to use and am interested in and as a thank you to the OSS community also share that work but that does not include end user support

Like a couple of times a year at least. Faster and easier than going to the way back machine to get a copy

I'm sorry what? 2.5 years? Is that a joke? Those animals should never set foot outside prison walls again no matter their age.

The government CA could just issue a new certificate for let's say Google, force your ISP to return a wrong IP when you ask your ISPs dns server what the address of Google is and then return a fake Google page instead or forward traffic to Google on your behalf and read all data. And since your browser trusts the new fake Google certificate from the government you won't get any https error or warning.

A current state of the art ai model from Microsoft can achieve acceptable quality with about 3 seconds of audio. Commercially available stuff like eleven labs about 30 minutes. But quality will obviously vary heavily but then again they're using a low quality phone call so maybe not that important

Wow screw that shelter for refusing to return his dog. I can understand why he did it.
