Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

@dgerard Or don't use Microsoft products? Just sayin'.
This is not helpful to anyone who needs to use Microsoft products for work or wants to use a particular software that's only available on Microsoft platforms or does not know how to use other vendor's alternatives proficiently or hell, just likes the Microsoft products for whatever reason, but finds the AI features objectionable.
I don't voluntarily use Microsoft products, but I don't think nagging is going to change the minds of those who do.
@bitofhope Many people don't even realize there *are* alternatives.
I use LibreOffice at home and work, and the rest of people at work I think the one they're using is called WPS Office. (They're mutually compatible so the fact I use something different doesn't matter much.)
Yet despite the many (mostly-compatible) options out there, people often don't know of them. So pointing it out is … nagging?
🤷♀️
I guess they're stuck if they don't even want to hear about alternatives. C'est la vie.
Or don't post asinine things? Just sayin'.
