if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)
guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.
That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.
you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.
Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want
Are we human beings like you? Tell me, are we not hungry? Are we not afraid? They deceived us in some meetings. I want to save my children. They got sick. Adam is two years old. His whole life is war. I was sitting and crying over the condition of my children and the condition of people in general. Please, if You saw this, don't ignore it as if you didn't see anything. You ran out of leadership, and our equipment and food ran out. Please donate.
btw the palestinian children’s relief fund is currently running a fundraiser & is more than halfway to their goal of $10,000 !
here’s a link for anyone who is willing & able to donate, please share so it can reach more people, especially as the weather grows colder & these children are desperately lacking resources.
(at $5,314 / $10,000 as of December 1)
happy saturday! what are some of the other characters who will feature in your Zelda au?
i dont have many just yet, but so far i can hand you vaati for sure :>
the "sage of winds", ganondorf' right hand man and royal advisor and technically real antagonist teheee
i do have some ideas for a character who is Basically Malon and both midna and zant ( who are. a lil different from their TP version since I imagine this au being set around the end of the timeline in which OoT!Link is defeated ) but I need to sit down and think about their designs first sjfkflf
i feel like the Kirby fandom at large doesn't acknowledge Sectonia/Joronia's character outside of making her Taranza's tragic dead girlfriend
hey reminder that connecting humanity is extremely low on esims rn and desperately needs esim donations and also that there are a lot of cool things you can get in exchange for a donation
it'd be really cool if everyone put their money where their mouths are and went and saw the new fully 2d animated looney tunes movie that's in theaters RIGHT NOW instead of continuing to scream about the snow white and lilo and stitch remakes
BEHOLD!!! A NEW PROJECT!!!
A Cakeling (depicted on the left) is a being made of food, magic, and a wish! Making a cakeling is very much like cooking/baking. They're very small creatures, about the size of a small child when fully grown, and very curious! They all live in Tartlet Town, where they are safe under the watchful gaze of Hershel the Wizard. (depicted right) What's outside of Tartlet Town's walls? Not much. There are monsters galore and ruins of massive cities, so it's very dangerous! But these sweet creatures are up to the task of exploring!!!
Northern Gaza has been starving for 2 months now
I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.
So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.
Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.
This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.
Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.
And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.
Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.
