Great info. Thanks so much! I’m no defender of Word or of Microsoft, so I’m always on the lookout for alternatives, though Libre Office most often suits my rather simple needs.

A system of measurement in which something like 15/16 of an inch is seen as a sensible way to measure a small distance. Not much else to say.

Impressive to feel you understand a country of 1.4 billion people from a single picture, let alone call them “pathetic” and “amoral.” The world’s most populous country with dozens of languages and cultures. One single picture. Like I said, impressive…ignorance.

I lived in India for years, in multiple cities north and south, and I’ve traveled all over the country by train on my own as a foreigner. Easily some of the best experiences of my life.

India is dozens of nations posing as one single nation state. To generalize it is impossible. To generalize it from a single picture is a degree of simplistic thinking I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered from an adult.

A glance at their website says that the data is only stored in Europe, though on Azure servers encrypted at rest to which Microsoft holds the encryption keys. That last bit is an absolute deal-breaker for me.

Zero- knowledge encryption or don’t waste my time. I’m not putting legal/medical/etc docs into the cloud with only a “trust me bro” from the creators of Co-Pilot.

The world seems full of people who work as unpaid corporate lawyers. I’ve run into several of these types in person. I imagine that the Venn Diagram of these people and those who snitch on their colleagues is a circle.

Few governments leave peacefully. Ask Iranians. Still, something needs to be done, and I think a general strike is the best tool at the moment. Witty signs and walking through the streets will not get it done with this White House, unfortunately.

I’d hope that at least 10% of your population must be furious enough at that shitty regime to inconvenience themselves, though at this point I’d even take 3.5%.

US twentieth century history teaches us that in whatever the US does, its citizens will suffer much less for it than the citizens of the victim nations, so as annoying as it may be, the shoe is finally on the other foot. Ask Latinos or Arabs how it felt to wear that shoe for generations.

Let’s see if an actual general strike can come to fruition. If so, I’ll be hoping for its success from afar.

I got off in a tangent there, apologies, since I’m not at all intending to argue against anything you said in your comment….

Fucking FINALLY. How this took an entire year is beyond me. People getting snatched off the street, beaten, and even killed. A general strike is what is needed and what has been needed. I’m happy the time has finally arrived.

Even more power to those who already have power, and less power for the rest of us. What could go wrong?

Weirder still to just use the general Spanish word for cheese to mean a specific type of cheese.

I keep getting this same error:
