For existing customers, the price hike won’t be kicking in until plan renewal, and there are options to downgrade the plan. Those who want to avoid using AI can downgrade the plan to the “Classic” or “Basic” Microsoft 365 plans.
Thankfully we can roll back to the “Classic Family Plan” without the AI features. But annoying that they automatically switched plans and I had to switch back. If I didn’t see this article I’d be up for a big price hike when it renewed.
Oh shit maybe we’ll see someone companies switch to an alternative instead of paying microshit more money
I keep seeing posts by NextCloud on Mastodon. Has anyone had any experience using those guys?
nextcloud is awesome, highly recommend.
I use ms office 2007 it runs perfectly in wine and still has the cool version of wordart
Some people can’t because they need updated proofing tools and that version no longer has updates.
Huh, do you think I can run Office 2013 in Wine? It’d the best version of office IMHO.
Meanwhile, smart people: I sure do love Libre Office.
Libre Office.
Honestly - and flame away - I hate the name. I hate saying it. It’s the ‘moist’ of borrowed words. Leeeeeeeebr. And I’m a Canadian who did French up to university-level conversational “explain something for 20 min” French (from a gorgeous caribbean dynamo teacher, but I justif–uh, digress) so I know how to say the word and what it means.
And I still hate it. I’m a horrible person – even before I continued French study because the prof was so engaging and energetic and brightened every room and every day and made French interesting just on inclusion.
