Adobe Creative Cloud, which despite the name is pretty much local. And although Microsoft Office works online, it has a series of issues that the desktop version doesn’t have, like broken formatting on Word.
Just a bastard roaming around the world

The thing that irks me the most is that those things work. They’ll see a little complain from the most vocal ones, and that’s it. The revenue will increase, their shareholders will be pleased, the OS will be worse, and we’ll have no viable alternative.
Unless governments start to regulate the hell out of tech companies, it’s only downhill from there.
Edit: about Linux, it’s not viable if you’re outside IT or rely on commercial software. That’s a debate for another post.
Ah yes, let’s go back to that amazing time of pure innovation where every fucking company had their own connector standard for data, power and audio. Good times.
We’ll have a battery that will be thousands of times more energy dense that what we have today. The tech industry will make those the size of a rice grain so we can have thinner products and the exact same battery life of electronics today. 😑
Considering that’s one of the two objects humanity ever have on direct contact with the medium outside the limits of our solar system, and the only tool we’ll have there for at least four decades, I’d argue that yes, it is pretty valuable.
The repair from distance part is nothing to be shy about, too.
Excellent! This will guarantee that I’ll have no Copilot running on my machine.
Not good enough, it should have cancelled the feature altogether.
Yeah, say that to professionals whose workflow rely on the thight integration and features of Adobe’s software. I’m sure migration to a piece of crap software with a S&M name that can’t even do CMYK will work great.
Affinity is a good alternative still, at least until Canvas implement the subscription model (which I still believe they will do).
Got it, thanks!
OK… ELI3? Why is this a big deal, and what is the feature/bug fix?
I missed that, my bad.
…until a botched update or a bug sends everything to the cloud, MS makes an about face saying oops my bad, then say it was fixed.
You know that’s not what “native” means, right? Nevermind, me moron can not read.
Yep. To me it was the lack of a working fingerprint reader.
Mine doesn’t have Car mode anymore, it stopped working a couple of weeks ago.
This is hilarious, scrambling to get a golden parachute and live off some trust fund from the sale. The sad part is that they will probably get that.
Unless there’s a “database failure” that would resurface screenshots from your PC on Microsoft’s cloud, or anything like that. I mean, its too many lines of code, what if something happened and oops, the local data was uploaded to your Onedrive, my bad, keep using our products, this will never happen again we swear.
The only way to be sure is not having it at all. Remember the CSAM filter Apple wanted to force on iOS? This is as bad as that.
IF that’s an option and IF it don’t turn itself on after an update. Given Microsoft’s history I wouldn’t trust that. They invested way too much in AI to afford making it easy for the user not to use the feature.
Funny enough, I find Gnome to be more consistent and better thought than macOS… But that’s just me.
