  • For casual users, sure. For professional users the answer isn’t as cut and dried, especially when it comes to Excel users. For one, the last time I checked Libre’s Calc version of solver was nowhere near as useful as the version of Solver that plugs into Excel. It also bogs down under more intense spreadsheets. You also can run into some weird formatting issues trying to go between the two, and when you have people with low intelligence or low patience involved, that alone can be a deal breaker.

    Albeit It’s been awhile since I’ve used Libreoffice, so I mean they might have solved some of this stuff by now. But that’s mainly the reason for my usage of Office. Ain’t saying I love office either, it’s FULL of bugs that are more historical than Benjamin Franklin, yet they refuse to ever address them or add any real actual innovation to newer products. But like it or hate it, it’s long been established as an office staple and we have to live with it.



  • They need to start fighting fire with fire. It’s not like the other side is that intelligent in a lot of ways, so trying to fight with logic isn’t going to get this done. Start a misinformation campaign like they do or something. Damn glad it ain’t my problem, don’t get me wrong. But I do see both sides of it, and democratic arrogance is how we are here too, in a lot of ways.

    As brain dead as this is, maybe quit running women in must win elections. I ain’t saying it’s right, or that’s fair or just (it shouldn’t even be a thing). But it’s literally stacking the odds against you in insurmountable fashion. Nothing against Kamala, but if was pretty clear right out of the gates she was going to lose, and they just ignored it.



  • It’s dotcom 2.0. Just watch. The tech is in its infancy, and everyone’s just run away to looneyville already. It can’t deliver 1/1 trillionth of what everyone’s already imagined it’s supposedly capable of. I mean making photos of Super Mario committing 9/11 or some dumb shit like that, it’s mildly entertaining for all of three or four minutes. But I’ve yet to see how it can actually deliver usable and innovative results on anything. The superior code it supposedly can write is pure spaghetti nonsense. The business analysis it supposedly can produce on a dime is hallucinatory, irrelevant and useless. Often it just spits out random bits of junk that’s largely irrelevant but that it treats as facts.

    Nope, especially looking at the valuation of companies like Nvidia and the like, I think we got ourselves an ol’ fashioned year 2000 like dotcom bust on the horizon at some point.
