American PhD here.
I’ve m only half-joking when I say I’m considering driving a cab somewhere in South America.

Yeah, dawg. They had 13 kids.
They probably ate like rabbits too.
Individuals can do that, and they should if they feel like keeping MS.
Organizations are, unfortunately, probably going to remain stagnant and keep paying millions to for things that have free alternatives.
It’s actually really infuriating. When I was in grad school I filed an information request with the college to see how much they paid for access to Office 365 each year. This was in 2021 and they were paying 4 million a year. Meanwhile their grad student employees were all living deeply below the poverty line.
Individual users can make use of free alternatives pretty easily, but I’m not sure they’re actually the target for the price increase here.
Schools, governments, businesses, and other institutions pay wild amounts to MS every year.
Now that you mention it, I might be a bit off in my math. It’s not my best subject.
Thinking about it a little more, I probably made the account in 2006 or so.
Deleted my FB account just now.
I’d had the thing since 2003. It was the last non-fedi social media I was holding onto (the only way to keep in touch with certain people, and all that.)
I work in academia. I’m a lowly paid adjunct who teaches 8 classes across 4 schools to make ends meet.
In the lead up to this semester, each school has had a mandatory Zoom meeting to get everyone involved on the same page.
In all 4 instances, I sat there and fucking seethed watching people who make upward of 10 times what I do just endlessly fumble with the technology while saying nothing of value for 2 hours.
It’s honestly amazing just how inept the manager class is.
Formed a union, charmed one of the most beautiful women in the quadrant, saved that quadrant with a mix of intelligence and courage, raised his son to be a war hero, and eventually became the Grand Nagus.
We Stan Rom in this house.
Playing it with some friends.
Palworld very obviously takes successful elements from other games and kinda stews them together into something that’s now exactly unique, but is enjoyable.
It’s not a bad experience, but I also wouldn’t play it alone.
Same here.
I can’t say I like the music, but them clowns is good people.

In a home, 10 days because ComEd is bad at what they do.
Personally, a 30 day hiking trip. Those are very different circumstances though.
