Microsoft is paywalling features in NOTEPAD. Let me say that again so it sinks in. Microsoft is _paywalling_ features in _NOTEPAD_.

My god this is so stupid.

Am I the only one that thinks it would be really nice if @libreoffice had an option to Save As markdown? I'm legitimately surprised that's not already a feature.

#Libreoffice

@arek It's a Fry's Marketplace.

Some of the doors in the refrigerator section of my local grocery store have been replaced with screens showing the product inside (redundant) and literal ads.

Also, there's a voice assistant coming.

@JoshStrobl He verbally attacked other people, some members of the Fosstodon community. I wasn't the one that limited the account, but I do believe that the fact that he is a FOSS advocate that's fairly well known is the reason the account wasn't just blocked entirely. The fact that he's a FOSS advocate doesn't give him a get out of jail free card.

@hyde @kev @aral

@JoshStrobl That's because you weren't following him.

@hyde @kev @aral

@hyde Limited, which doesn't really silence an account. Anybody can still follow it. It just gives them a warning first and posts don't show up in public timelines. Since he's a remote user, that would only have been the federated timeline anyway. His posts still would have shown up in the Home feeds of any followers he had on Fosstodon.

@JoshStrobl @kev @aral

@JoshStrobl Even if their account is limited, they'd still be able to respond to your posts, and you'd still be able to see it.

@hyde @kev @aral

@hyde No, his account has never been blocked.
