@f_beaudet@cosocial.ca Again, Word *used* to be something called a "word processor". How, exactly, do you "subscribe" to a word processor?
Everything I hear about Microsoft these days is just bizarre and I can't even parse most of it.

@stevenaleach@sigmoid.social @f_beaudet@cosocial.ca I really believe that 99.99% of people do not realise they can use libreoffice or even an older version of ms office and not need a subscription at all. But all major companies are,going for the subscription based model these days, they don’t want us to own things, they want us to rent them from them. Perpetual growth hack etc etc

@stevenaleach@sigmoid.social It all sounds so abusive to me. It's incredible to me that anyone puts up with it.
