  4. An article about how "immortal" MS Word is and other MSFT praise turned up in my feed, so I found the need to reprise (and liberate) my 2013 rant "Compatibility Is Hard: CHARTEST.DOC Is From 1989, Was Not Readable By 2003" nxdomain.no/~peter/compatibili #msword #winword #compatibility #documentformats #informationprotection which links to other (probably better) pieces by myself and @cstross

  5. Unpopular opinion: a vulnerability that was disclosed privately by researchers and had a coordinated response from vendors and service operators under an (albeit short) embargo is not a “0-day”.

  6. **2025 – my steps towards digital sovereignty**

    TL;DR

    I fell for a strange pattern of techy computer users to describe / brag about reducing their dependance of IT services owned by US-based tech giants and other companies that embraced enshittification principles.

    I didn’t invented nothing new, I just made some small steps towards better control of my data and IT equipment.

    IT usage is very political imho. With the recent imperialistic developments and sharp drop in human rights in US, I feel uneasy about using their platforms (Microsoft, Google, social media). This is one of the reasons I’m trying to move away from them and towards FOSS & non-enshittified companies. The other reason is curiosity for exploring new things.

    But even selecting FOSS/sustainable IT alternatives is not trivial. They usually lack polished UI, and … ugh, … sometimes there is quite some drama associated with them (e. g. main developer adopts techbro mentality).

    OS

    As I wrote extensively, I transitioned from Windows to Linux Mint as a daily driver in March 2025.

    It’s pretty boring – Mint works, it didn’t crash beyond repair (yet), I don’t think about it anymore.

    Now is Dec. and I still haven’t booted to Windows partition. It’s time to delete it and dedicate space for something else.

    Browser

    Firefox, but looking for alternatives. Mozilla is not my favourite company anymore because of their efforts to stick genAI into the browser and dismissing the community. Yes, I still wear their t-shirt from 2004 and probably will until it disintegrates.

    Office

    I cancelled to M356 subscriptions for my company and left only 1 license for special cases (spreadsheets with macros for reporting to EU and similar).

    Firstly I used OpenOffice in 2003-2006 when I wrote my dissertation and MsWord started to crash after 100 pages. At that time, OpenOffice saved a lot of time, because it handled formulas and references really well. Then I stopped using it until last year. Now it’s my daily driver (Libre Office) again alongside Google Docs (yeah, I know).

    I made a promise that all documents that I send out to other people will be in .odt format. In last several months I received in total 0 complaints. Even people with MSOffice can open it and probably they don’t even notice the change of the format.

    I especially like (not so well known): Libre Draw for editing PDFs, Libre Write for creating ePUBs.

    I also installed NextCloud and it’s NextCloud Office on my selfhosted Yuno, but I haven’t used it much yet. It looks promising, but more complex in comparison with Google Docs.

    Email

    I bought Tuta subscription and connected it with my domain. I’m using Linux desktop app, mobile app alongside Gmail.

    I haven’t transitioned from GMail yet. I gave my new email address only to some specific people and I’m trying to keep it away from various online subsctiptions. I still use GMail, where all the junk goes.

    Probably I will keep using GMail as a throw away email account and Tuta for things I care about – such as communication with state institutions, health institutions, friends.

    I’m still trying to get used to Tuta UI.

    I could even recreate my workflow from GMail to Tuta: Starred emails. In GMail, I star emails that need my further attention. In Tuta, I use labels for the same purpose. I created a new label ‘todo’ which I can apply to the email. It needs some more clicks than starring emails in GMail, which is not optimal, but it’s good enough.

    Calendar

    I still don’t know how to transfer my calendar from Google Calendar to something else, e. g. Tuta Calendar. I use Google Calendar with 10+ calendars, intervowen with my family’s calendars. Will try to figure it out in 2026.

    Cloud storage

    This one is the most difficult one.

    But I started to ween off Google Drive, which I use from its beginnings. Until now I haven’t found a good replacement, especially for Google Docs.

    Lately I bought a lifetime Koofr subscription for 1 TB. I’m using it as a (3rd) backup for all of my family’s photos and videos. It backups my NAS via WebDAV and my desktop via rclone. I also sync my media from the phone to Koofr. Maybe I’ll even use it instead Google Photos. Will see – but at the first glance it doesn’t miss much – maybe albums and search by photo description.

    Koofr looks promising and most importantly, it’s based in EU.

  7. There are so, so many #GUI-based #installers that can't even be bothered to support the basic #accessibility that is built in by default into every single #MSWindows edition, and has been from very early on. This is nothing new. And it doesn't seem to improve, either: arrogance and ignorance continue to make installerss unusable for the visually impaired among us. #a11y #qualityAssurance

  8. I created a sample form for #MSWindows using #dotnet #windowsforms via #powershell:
    gist.github.com/aeveltstra/2da

    The most difficult thing about this script was to get the form and the tab control to size to their contents. That doesn't happen automatically. At Powershell level, the control size appears to have a Height and Width property that can be set. That is not the case on my Powershell and Windows 10 Pro. I had to create a System.Drawing.Size object and assign that to the size property.

    Imagine this in a computer that is running microscopy equipment that runs 24/7. Why scientific equipment vendors continue to use Microsoft when Linux and other operating systems are an option is beyond me. Inertia? Stupidity? And their closed-source device drivers force us to keep their provided computers.

    "What you’ve just experienced is Windows 11’s Second Chance Out of Box Experience (SCOOBE), a deeply deceptive and unethical attempt on Microsoft’s part to con you into buying more monthly services or using settings that Redmond wants you to have. SCOOBE can launch months or even years after you’ve first set up your PC and you can get it multiple times in your PC’s lifecycle, often after a Windows update."

    "But SCOOBE is more than just an annoyance and a money-grab. It’s a serious problem for organizations with managed PCs."

  10. My (Win10) computer just waited for me to take my coffee break to do a forced restart. No asking, no warning, didn't care that I had unsaved documents opened and Matlab running.
    I am sick and tired of this. I have already tried all the tricks to pause updates that cause restarts (can't pause forever) and reduce the "active hours" (can't reduce them down to 0).

    I want a program that completely stops forced restarts - does that exist? 🙏

  11. Online contact management seems to have killed desktop (local) address book software, at least on Windows :( Can anyone offer any (relevant!) suggestions?

  12. #MSWindows complaint:

    1) add #dvorak layout
    2) switch to dvorak layout
    3) lock screen
    4) when unlocking, keyboard is switched back to qwerty
    5) after unlocking, desktop keyboard is qwerty

    Why can't it just stay dvorak? If someone clicks "other user", is it that hard to switch to qwerty then?

  13. @Pikapods You make a drama of a typical #Microsoft bug. They even broke the start menu button recently. You know the one thing that should always work.

    #MSWindows is getting worse and worse. Nadella said that 30% of the code is #AI generated, so you know that there are no professionals who contribute to quality anymore.

  14. @vowe Was man alles bei #Microsoft so tut, um das Endgerät grundsätzlich benutzbar zu machen, ist schon erstaunlich.

    Viele Leute behaupten, dass #MSWindows installieren sehr einfach ist. Ich denke, dass wir deswegen viele unsichere Installationen im Umlauf haben.

  15. Just for fun: my friends and I used to get together for StarCraft LAN parties. I was on #Linux (probably Mandrake?), most of my friends were on #MSWindows (probably 98), maybe one or two were on Macs. Guess who had the fewest network / LAN issues? Yup: me and maybe the Mac guys. Pretty much without fail, we would waste an hour while the MSWin guys tried to figure out why they couldn't see anyone or join a game.

    That said, I miss the LAN parties. In person is much more fun.

  16. A few things about the new --

    First off... WHY IS THERE A PROFILE ICON IN THE TOP RIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU LOGGING INTO IN NOTEPAD*

    Second... Notepad getting support is a pretty rad evolution.
    Of course, Microsoft had to botch the implementation (lack of support for fairly common features, for example `preformatted text`); that's to be expected, but it is still frustrating. just can't get anything right! 😠

  17. @itsfoss
    Introduced me to so many new and interesting things for me! 🥰

    I guess I would have not discovered #VivaldiBrowser without it, and I would have probably been an #avid #gamer or a guy who thought he knew much, when he actually doesn't.
    Now, I at least know how much I don't, and I'm interested in more advanced things I would have not known about in #MSWindows!

  18. Who is the genius who decided it was a good idea to have single-click file open inside MSOffice when all of Windows has been double-click since forever?

    “Lai had been scheduled to attend celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of King Mswati III’s ascension.

    Eswatini is the only African country with official diplomatic relations with Taipei.

    #Seychelles, #Mauritius, and #Madagascar had pulled their overflight clearances.

    #China has since praised the three countries.”
