From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Couldn't find a good article so here are the change notes: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/updates

The change includes the usage of AI for Microsoft Services. This means it will scan everything that interacts with Microsoft services for the following things: Hate peach, creation of spam/fishing, Malware and illegal content(that's what I remembered).

Termination of laws or guidelines can lead to the suspension of your Microsoft account.

Btw, does anyone of you know a good alternative for PowerPoint?

Libre Office ppt is good enough imo; Apple Keynote is superior to both imo.

It sadly still misses inline formulas, which may be a deal breaker for people working in science/engineering.

To be fair, at this point it is LaTeX or raw txt.

Well, true, at a certain extent. TBH, love latex for extended texts, but for presentations I find beamer and the likes a bit cumbersome.

Apple's iWork used to be very powerful like version '09. When the decided to redesign the UI removed more than half of the features and it became mostly shit.
