    Other search engines are better. Subjectively mostly, but to the point where I think I van almost day objectively. I used DuckDuckGo for 5 years now, and it’s crazy to see the difference.

    I’m a Linux user too and there it’s the dame thing. I look at windows users and just wonder why people put up with all that shit while o have this super nice, legally free, stable system that doesn’t fuck around with me.

    It feels like people are crazy but obviously it’s not that. It’s just that people don’t know any better. You search? That’s Google. The company got their brand and logo cemented in so many people’s brains that they’ll never fail, no matter how bad they get

      Linux has been anything but stable in my experience, while windows has been exceptionally stable in the last decade

        And who wants to use Microsoft office? Google docs, for all the evil that google does, at least just… Works nice, does what I need it to do and doesn’t make every single edit a fight to the death. I’ve had to use Microsoft office online or whatever the hell it’s called, and fuck me, what a headache

          In academia it’s common to use word and that means if we are writing papers all the PIs are using it…google docs is better for collab…but would prefer open source solution. Issue is none of the open source word type software play well with Microsoft word…for obvious reasons… (the moment u got figures and formatting it all goes to shit…i mean even word struggles to keep word documents correctly formated between versions of it self) fml.
