Apparently I can't stop buying Microsoft 365 and Norton licenses. Since I have all of these invoices (in my #spam folder for some reason) can I deduct them from my taxes as a business expense?

@felimwhiteley I just upgraded to 150 and all of the menus stopped working. Right-click or use any other menu and it pops up and then immediately goes away. Second and subsequent clicks, nothing happens. WTF!

@hell The rest of the time I spend yelling at my computer because other programs don't act like Emacs! The only other app that I have open consistently is Firefox, because everything is a webapp these days :( And sometimes I need to open LibreOffice. So, yeah, almost everything I do is in Emacs.

@hell I would say that I spend 80 to 90% of my computer time in Emacs (coding, note taking, email, etc.)
