Microsoft knows Office is slow to load. The solution is, apparently, to make Windows load slower.

    Excel bloat has gotten so bad I learned Python because I was sick of trying to come up with workarounds to make Excel handle moderately sized datasets without crashing. Now I just write python scripts to do anything I need and if I need to show my work to someone who doesn’t use Python I just export my data to Excel and copy over the last few steps in Excel to show how it works. It’s still faster than doing everything in Excel.

      A few days ago I read in an article that Microsoft is currently having 30% of the new source code generated by AIs - and I believe this more and more with every release.

      It’s not the engineers, it’s the managers. Engineers don’t get to decide, they get to do as they are told. Developers don’t have any more power than any other large corporation employee.

      Most FOSS I’ve used has at least one or two shortcomings as compared to their corporatized alternatives, but honest to god libreoffice is just straight up better than Microsoft office

        Not to forget that it is good but not good. It’s there to lock people into its marketplace.

      Very old. I remember finding the “office startup accelerator”, or whatever it was called, that pre loaded all the office dlls in my startup items way back before 2000.

    I remember when doing things in excel using shortcuts did not lasted longed to move things on screen and one could save in a couple of seconds.

    Try that shit now in the age of cloud backups and no shortcuts for new items.

    The enshitification I likely at 40%. Can’t way to find out the new ways copilot will fuck it up so I can be less productive.
