Softmaker is libreoffice in word look, also proprietary but a better licence model.
Its the next best thing to libreoffice for people who still wanna use word.

Its sad that you dont have the option because options are awesome but you still can try to use as much libre and software from better companies as possible

Not because of switching to linux but to take care of your data and getting resilient against enshittification

Ive personally had a surface and i think mint and ubunto did absolutely not work to install. (7Pro)
But arch worked (some kind nerds in the area helped me install it) and at least to me it was surprisingly easy
But you probably should use a backup in case you manage to break arch

This repo is your friend: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

Try out librewolf or softmaker (there is somewhere a free version) and other alternatives of programs that you need that at best are foss and at worst also run on linux.
That way you get a smoother learning curve

I advise you to try out GOG and itch.io as they sell games wbthout DRM

I put a “Rebublic of Gamers” sticker on my membran microsoft keyboard which made it a lot funnier but its on the down side so i dont see it very often

The EU already wants to implement the zero-knowledge proofs for age verification
Its likely also one of the best solutions if i understood it correctly because the EU would only know that one recieved a bunch of certificates(?) (single use) but not where it got used and the website would not get any personal data

Zero-knowledge proofs are awsome, look them up

when trying it: better try it with a local llm, you have more options and it probably gives somewhat decent output when choosing a small and topic fitting model
+ you dont give money to the ai corps + privacy + probably more

The 120M+ Dollar have to come from somewhere

Oh no

Good that it got catched that early

Would be funny if it was death stranding

probably some nsfw platform

I skimmed a bit over it and the setiment and directions are clear: the agency is one of the bad ones and i hope the leadership does not make a new one later after the dust settles a bit

I cant make up my mind
At one side: they failed to pay
At the other side: the ceo tried BUT how did he try? Thats completly missing

And was there really no way to ask for money or something?

What i understand is that it concluded to: they used funds they where not entitled to and failed anyway.

But its still not enough for me to feel informed enough to have an opinion

All my homies hate Collective Shout

not really. Collective Shout is a powerful collective that targets violence, adult content and i think also gaming in general even in contexts that make sense,
out of their sense what is right and wrong (which I and a lot of others dont agree with)

Edit: better readability

I do, but im getting called rarely and my number is still save from scam lists so every call is probably important

Yo momma so fat, the next fattest mom is still ~30 solar masses thinner

I tried to make that to the yellow hair but was too lazy to get a yellow pencil
