I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again

So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

@TechTangents This is the lot who decided Notepad needs tabs, save states, and copliot...

Well, tabs and save states are pretty cool.

@iju @chloeraccoon @TechTangents notepad++ has done this better for decades.

Nope, to be precise: Throw Wondoze out of the window, install any #Linux (i.e. Linux Mint), use #Featherpad instead of np++ and LibreOffice.
Then everything is instant, local and private and as secure as you wish.

I came from Win, used Linux in dual boot for years, loved np++. In 2019, after university, I almost completly stopped using Win. I don't miss anything. No forced updates. No bloatware. LM just works.

@Zeronior @f4grx @iju @TechTangents I'm not running any *nix to edit a single file on windows to get Sage running.

@chloeraccoon @f4grx @iju @TechTangents Use Dolibarr. Doesn't need Windoze.
Just had a look... Professional websites never tell the user where this super amazing software runs. I suppose, it's only Win?

@Zeronior @f4grx @iju @TechTangents "Use this CRM software to replace you accounting software"

Sure. Should I replace AutoCAD with Emacs too?

@chloeraccoon @f4grx @iju @TechTangents I would prefer FreeCAD. But yes, special software is still only available on Win 😢
I hope, something changes in the next years.
We would need a platform like Steam for professionals.

@Zeronior @f4grx @iju @TechTangents You prefer FreeCAD? You missed the point.

You recommended software that does a completely differnet job as a replacement.,

So you don't want to use FreeCAD for editing CAD, yoy should use RhytemBox, or Vi. Anything but CAD software.

Sorry, didn't know anything about Sage before you mentioned it. At their website, it looked like they were selling an ERP system. That's exactly what Dolibarr does.
With your answer I would think, Sage is more like SAP, one to rule them all ;)
