one of the nice things about working for yourself is, you can simply choose not to use any microsoft products

[adardis@mstdn.social]

@skinnylatte you can also choose not to use Apple products.

My new iMac has a use case: you can watch TV/movies on it, which seemed a little dubious on the Pi 5. Otherwise, ugh, I'm not loving Mac OS.

@skinnylatte @piku

ow!

[adardis@mstdn.social]

@maya_b @skinnylatte oh, yeah -- I had a 2008 27" iMac on my desk at my office, which gave up on Apple OS's quite a while ago, then hummed with Ubuntu until last year when i retired.

@skinnylatte Ahh, if only. All efforts to not be dependent on maintaining Microsoft products for clients have been for naught

@skinnylatte Completely moved to #Linux but still looking for a way to do my income taxes with something not big tech based. German income tax management can't be done manually and no program runs cleanly under Linux (had one that did with Wine, but had to install Windows, when it refused the printout of the - completely ready - result needed to file it). And that's probably much worse if self employed …

@skinnylatte @piku Hey, I'm 4 for 5.

[meganl@mas.to]

@skinnylatte LOL!

[onnob@mastodon.social]

@skinnylatte @piku Yeah, Teams is the worst!

[dixon@theatl.social]

@skinnylatte @piku But if you DID have to decide between genocide and MS Teams...

[wishy@tooter.wishy.co.uk]

@skinnylatte @piku which is more likely in 2026, you join a company and then they pivot to teams, or they pivot to genocide... It's a sad state of affairs...
