Sony must be nearing some kind of announcement in time for the 10-year anniversary of Bloodborne’e release

So they kind of stole the idea from him? It's a serious copyright issue

The fact that Open AI is not open at all is more laughable

I've tried using OnlyOffice before, but it failed to open an Excel file properly

Interesting. I wonder why they don't take it down immediately when they absolutely can

I want to install MAS to my clubhouse's computer so I can share MS Office with our member, but I wonder if it's really safe.

Some people on Reddit say that it's a trojan

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/16rdsc4/regret_using_microsoft_activation_scripts/

They say that I can check the source code since it's open sourced, but I'm not sure. It's too complex, and downloading several files inside a script. I haven't checked yet but it can be downloading some blobs, idk.

Also the domain of the official page sounds suspicious... "mass grave"??

Edit: I use Debian btw

Help with Office docs + Linux (sh.itjust.works)

I’ve recently switched to Linux (Debian Bookworm) because I was tired of all the bullshits I had to deal with when using Windows, especially when developing software.

Now I really have to use MS Office applications for my school. Libreoffice is good but not completely compatible with MSOffice, like I can’t use the log graph in the template provided. And their web apps are nearly unusable (especially with Firefox and its variants) , so I need desktop versions.

I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.

How do you guys manage to open MS files appropriately?

Edit: 2024/12/26 I ended up using Windows inside KVM. It worked without license, and office seems to work fine

I'm planning to put Debian-based operating system onto my Surface Laptop Gen 1, following the guide (linux-surface). Any good Debian-based Linux recommendations? For now I'm considering AntiX (lightweight debian) and normal Debian.

P.S. I’ve installed pure Debian, as everyone suggests. Thanks for advice!
