Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal

[Nintenboy01]

I only use Hotmail as burner accounts, I trust these fools almost as much as I trust Google, and their "Don't be evil (just be your psychopathic self)" motto.

plus we're in an era of reduced regulations and these companies bribing/sucking up to the Cheeto in Chief, they can probably get away with literal murder now

Microshit free since 2020, use Linux, use opensource alternatives for office apps such as Libreoffice. Never looked back, haven't seen a bsod for 5 years now - life changing. =)

Usually I dual booted Windows with Linux since 1990s, but became a regular setup on every PC I owned around 2000/01. Went full time Linux user around late 2019 and haven't looked back. With bit of change in my work flow with new software stack, everything turned out be rock solid and fun. Getting rid of GUIs made things even more interesting, as everything just works as I want it to be. The way MS/Google and the whole silicon valley's cabal of tech intruders are not sticking AI/other spyware in every bit of software people use, I believe people need to realize that they've become 'The Product' and need to regain their privacy when it comes to their computing needs.

Hotmail user: Hey MS why was my account locked

MS AI: I know but I'm not telling it's secret neh neh neh neh neh

They always could, people just bent over for large corporations hard, as if it was the most moral thing to do.

I don't trust any email provider, not even Proton and back up my important mails regularly on my computer (most of my work/legal correspondence takes place in different ways), which everyone should do.

I run Linux on my R7 4800U laptop and dual boot 10 LTSC IOT and Mint 21 on my 6600H NUC. I spend most of my time in Mint 21 on it and Hope that there will come a time, soon enough, for us to be able to dump Windows and never look back.

Since becoming a cloud/AI provider M$ludge haven't cared about Windows and only see it as a Drop Box/spyware delivery system and not a fully fledged OS.
