The only digital subscription service I want is a subscription to a real-life IT person in my real-life local community who will go into my phone and computer once a month to remove all the new AI features and other enshittifying features that companies have sneaked onto my devices against my will since the last time.
Seriously. If AI is so fanbloodytastic, why do they have to sneak it in and hide any off-switches?

SAY IT LOUDER
@CiaraNi I was nearly there just because of the advertising but the recent copilot additions in Windows and Office have driven me past the breaking point. I installed Linux a few weeks ago and I'm working on weaning myself off of OneDrive.
Can honestly say that the Linux desktop experience with KDE/Plasma is miles better than what I tried just a few years ago. LibreOffice does everything I need. It's still not as easy as Windows, but it's improving. Microsoft have billions of dollars to throw at design, UX, and compatibility. Linux is developed on a shoestring by comparison, but what has been achieved on that shoestring is phenomenal.
