    I switched to OpenOffice.org(now LibreOffice) when Microsoft replaced menus with ribbons.

    And I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo after being a Google user from nearly the very beginning, because they tried to claim earlier this week that they couldn’t prove I was over 18 years old unless I provided them my legal identification.

    Thanks Google, I can’t imagine how the fact that I’ve physically been using your product and logging into the account for more than 20 years would leave any question in your mind that I’m over 18 years old, but you do you.

    No regrets with LibreOffice. None.

      I bitched and moaned when office 2007 came out. Stupid ribbons. Still hate that shit. Only thing MS office has going for it, that I haven’t found elsewhere, is collaboration and Danish grammar check. I haven’t found proper grammar check in my native Danish yet, outside of ms office that is. But if my job decided to ditch its pricey office subscriptions, I’d be cheeringly installing libreoffice.

      I do hope I get a chance to retrieve all my emails when I get shut out for raising an arthritic middle finger and telling Google to go fuck themselves when asked for ID. I got my gmail account when people still paid for invites. How can I be underage? I wasn’t even underage then.

        Just going to remind you, because I appreciated when someone reminded me: The best time to run a ‘Google Checkout’ to get a backup is now.
