gloomy day in Budapest with lots of snow, rain, and slush. I lit an olive & sage candle to fight the malaise. I'm almost done with the footnotes.

November 27, 2023 - Monday

My giant plant is back! She is a bit dehydrated from being abandoned in the other place for a week but she’s here. I’m trying to recuperate myself, my plants, the house; everything 🌱

Today I made a make-up assignment for students who failed biology last semester.

Still feeling drained and tired. At least we have snow and it's incredibly beautiful...

How we weigh an octopus!

good morning i hope everyone has their favorite drink today and I hope that it tastes exceptionally delicious and comforting

Already Several people have tagged this saying they have 50+ or even 100+ tabs open in one or more places and can I just say: 10 is a LOT to me. Like, my record has been about 30, and I closed at least half of those as soon as it was feasible. You guys are in a whole other plane of existence to me and I fear love hate and respect you in equal measure.

I have so many tabs open that Firefox stopped fucking counting them

Just found out about the weirdest shark ever

Prickly dogfish

This is not photoshopped

The fact that Microsoft Word has to be a subscription is upsetting. I already paid for it why do I have to pay again

Yes please be mad about it, genuinely- You used to be able to purchase a single disk to install it and use it forever after that initial purchase of one key. It sickens me to see all this stuff which used to be a one time purchase be shunted under a subscription now.

THIS

"Why is pirating going back up?!"

This. This is why. People don't mind paying a high price for software if it's only the once, or every 4-5 years.

But having to pay a high price regularly? Especially in the cases where you lose access to your own work if you don't?

That's why people are pirating software.

It’s possible to buy a non-subscription version of Word; Microsoft just intentionally makes it very difficult to find (and also expensive).

However, I know a guy who knows a guy website: MS Office Pro for $50. If the link starts going to a Page Not Found, just search the site; they usually have some form of this sale available. 

Worth noting: while $50 is still more money than $yo-ho-ho, that money is a great way to make VERY clear to Microsoft that we DO want one-time-purchase products, not subscriptions.

My laptop just died. If it can't be fixed and I need to replace it, this post is gonna be a real life saver, because my family has been sharing an old version of Word that came with a limited number of lifetime licenses, and we're fresh out.

Get LibreOffice. It's fully compatible with MS Office, but it's free and open source. You're welcome. :-)
