I’m a freelancer and unfortunately rely heavily on Microsoft. Haven’t had that stance for long, to be honest, but the past few months have been eye-opening. I’m trying to go more European in the future, and Open Source where viable.

It is a little scary I have to admit. I’m getting old enough to have worked with MS products for decades now, and am so used to them. It’s also a challenge to myself to move away and try new things, as I believe this will be a selling point in the near future in my business.

AI button pop up should cover about %70 of the screen

AutoCAD installing three million micro services just to get their shit pirated anyways.

Also why the fuck do they need basically my entire identity just so i can write words on a document?
