Microsoft Office support in Windows 10 ends in October too - what that really means
-
I wonder if this also means that specialty license of 10 that isn't stopping support. I was considering using that before going to 11. The name escapes me of what it was, though.
-
I mean has a word processor really changed much since 2021?
-
Libreoffice with the ribbon interface looks about the same to me.
OnlyOffice is basically an electron browser app IIRC which is why the performance is so poor.
-
At that point I'd just use one of the tools to bypass checks. Would still have legitimate licenses and everything.
-
I think the question is more "Will Microsoft ever make an offline release again?"
-
The number of people who move text around by adding spaces is too damn high!
-
You shouldn't trust TurboTax so much.

They also keep trying to trick you into giving consent:

They also lobby to keep taxes complex.

I’d say yes given that Office 2024 (perpetual) and the LTSC versions have already been released. Trying to find the FAQ again where they said they reconsidered and will still release perpetual offfline versions.
-
Sounds.. typical. The last one is really why I don’t like TurboTax to begin with. But I don’t know how to find a tax consultant so… TurboTax it is for me
-
yea who ever things that is a good idea, while we have MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Valkey should be fired.
-
Who needs align right when you can just hold the space-bar till it's there, or if you are a pro tab then space for perfect alignment
-
Oh no, we'll have to use something other than terrible, AI ridden MS office? How terrible
-
I have spent the last several weeks re-creating documents like this there were developed and maintained by one guy for 38 years.
There's a half page drawing done in word that is lines and boxes and text all as text and positioned with spaces and tabs. I think I took a screenshot of it and just made it all one picture -
LibreOffice FTW screw Microshaft!
-
Fuck windows for doing that; I unintentionally switched to MacOS
-
It's a trade-off for sure, but they're both free/FOSS. So it's worth test driving both.
I used primarily open office and Libreoffice 10-15 years ago and it was dated then but competitive. Trying it this year left me feeling like it hadn't gotten much interface work in that time.
I really wish the team would invest in a serious overhaul that's long overdue. The back end, especially when it comes to huge files, outperforms onlyoffice by a mile. But for me, only office is faster to use because the navigation is so much easier.

If you're in any of these states:

- New Mexico
- New York
- North Carolina
- Oregon

- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Washington state

You can use the IRS' new Direct File service. It's what we should've had ages ago, letting citizens file their taxes directly without a for-profit middle man. There are still a couple of scenarios they don't support, since it's still in development and is only in it's second year of use, but in my experience it's already competent and helpful.
And, as a bonus, you don't have to give any money to Intuit/TurboTax to keep lobbying the government to make our tax code as arcane as possible so that people need their services to file taxes.

Did they learn to type on a typewriter?
-
365 is not equals office ltsc. fuck off with the clickbait titles.

Another vote for Freetaxusa. TurboTax might be marginally easier to use, but it is far more expensive and Intuit is a horrible company. If you hate filing taxes (because of the complexity), that is because Intuit and H&R Block lobby congress to keep things complicated so they can sell you their products.
