    i searched to see if this image was made unironically, cause it seemed like something up their alley. perhaps predictably, no it wasn’t. it was satire.

    but the source is pretty interesting! it comes from modern humorist, which is a satire website from the early 2000s that is still up, altho they haven’t made anything new in 20 years.

    they have this one too, which is pretty good:

    A poster featuring a monochrome picture of a woman surfing the Web on an old computer. A cartoony Adolf Hitler is leaning on the computer, saying "Keep surfing on company time, miss! I like it!". Below the poster is the notice "A word from the management".

    edit: i just noticed the website’s url is in the image -_- i am stoopid






  • it works for you because you got accustomed to it. cool! genuinely! but not everyone is a power user, not everyone will want to sift through documentation to find out how to do the thing they want that’s easy to do with word

    from the non-techy people i’ve spoken to who’ve used libreoffice, they all agree that it’s worse than ms office because it gets in the way more. it’s harder to do stuff, because it’s less intuitive to them.

    people in 3d modeling use blender. people in audio production use audacity. people in office work and schools, usually, do not use libreoffice, because if you can afford ms office it’s just better for them. maybe that will change with office now being ai-infested webviews held together with gum, javascript and ever increasing subscription prices… then again, that hasn’t slowed down adobe

    imo the upcoming audacity 4 is an incredible example of open-source ui redesign, and should be an inspiration to everyone. the ui is sleeker, faster, easier to use, and yet it’s still familiar to existing users! but you can do good stuff without recreating the whole ui from scratch like they did, of course




  • i’m saying this because the nazis were greatly inspired by the usa’s genocide of Indigenous people for the holocaust, that’s why i wrote “partially” (as opposed to the Gaza genocide, where the usa’s responsibility is much more direct)

    obviously I’m not denying the agency and responsibility of germany in the holocaust
