   There was a time when I loved working by computer. But apps are so dodgy it's hard to get anything done reliably. MS Word constantly flashes extraneous page thumbnails & bits of garbage as I compose. Warns me it can't sync with cloud then it can. So distracting. Adobe rushes out updates that mess up so bad I spend a day fixing it. Chrome & any apps relying on it crash continuously. Can I go back to buying software & have it run w/o the cloud. I hate this future. #technology #rant

     @aetus Consider trying out @libreoffice / #LibreOffice, #Okular, #PDFarranger & @mozilla #Firefox then?

     You can even donate to #FLOSS and I'd suggest you donate the equivalent of their #CCSS counterparts' #subscription.

     #WorksForMe for > 10 years now and I'm considering to get an actual #Support #Subscription for @ubuntu since that's a convenient option and I do rely on #Ubuntu LTS for work.
