- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 3 days ago:
Fair enough. It’s hard to learn something new when what you have works and you know it. And if what you have works, then yeah. I get that. Especially if you have lots of visuals and themes. I think libre office calc is pretty ugly. But I also don’t try and make things look better either
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 3 days ago:
I avoid spreadsheets in general. But I have used some pretty funky formulas in libre office’s calc. I’m just kind of curious what formulas you use that aren’t supported in Calc.

- Comment on Maybe there was a cure for human cancer, but it didn't work at all in mice. 2 months ago:
It is theoretically possible that we are basal in such away that mice are derived given a certain ailment, that a treatment doesn’t work on mice. However we are so damn closely related to mice that probability is vanishingly small, and in such cases where it is known about, they actually genetically modify the mouse to account for it.
They used to do fertility tests on hamster ovum to see if a human male’s sperm was viable. We are fucking close enough to hamsters a human sperm can cause a hamster ovum to start to divide.
Granted, I will agree with you: much animal testing is fucking horrific and deplorable. But it is generally reliable.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 months ago:
This is basically my strategy too. Though, I tend to buy from Bandcamp first and foremost. I like that most of the time if I buy physical media (either vinyl or CD) on Bandcamp it comes with a digital download.
I was disappointed that Bandcamp was bought by a company a few years back, but nothing has changed… Yet.

I use to give people shit that the default
lscommand was from 2002. They finally fucking upgraded it in like 2020. But yeah. That’s some old fucking software.
