Well Google contributes a lot to open source, but I get your point.

Another thing we couldn’t have possibly seen coming!

That fronto-temporal lobe is just fucking gone, it’s a matter of weeks before he admits stuff live on TV

Fair, markdown, git and pandoc could work but, it might be too big of a jump for someone used to Word

Is Word mandatory or is Word compatible good enough ?

First gold and silver tank, then Microsoft, now a bank goes under. Could this the beginning of the AI bubble burst ?

Well fusion is not ready, so in the meantime, let’s build fission, solar and wind plants to get rid of coal, oil and gas as much as possible

It made me put into perspective the amount of propaganda we’re being fed by mass media, just by reporting with carefully chosen words. It’s obviously not limited to America, because the same patterns are being used all around the world to justify imperialism, nationalism and ruthless capitalism.

Well they’ll probably reinstall it with every update anyway.
