And don’t forget to filter „xitter“ as that is probably also recommended.

Posting here because of the privacy implications of all this, but I wonder if at some point there should be an “Enshittification” community :-)

There is, its called !enshittification@lemmy.world

Now let’s look at Office. Open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in any app other than excel. Tables are something that’s just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort. No, I’m not setting up a DB in an open-source competitor to Access. That’s just too much effort for simple sorting and filtering tasks, and isn’t realistically shareable with other people.

Oh you can take a look at LibreOffice instead which is open source and open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in LibreOffice Calc and see how it is there.

There are a few alternatives to Windows out there at this time, if you were to look into React OS and Great Tea OS to see what those are about.

Well, here, I had clouds that had gotten in the way of the eclipse on Monday, even though it had gotten to a sliver of sun left before the moon moved away. I was able to see that there was dim sunlight here when there was a break in the clouds and seem mysterious in a way to me.

Sounds like its a case of Enshittification happening to that once useful website.

Not sure, but better hope that it doesn’t disappear because this fox is fighting to get his domain back.

I just hope they don’t come up with dead fediverse theory next.

Well, I just went through some online instructions to setup an inbound rule in Windows Defender Firewall that is a list of IPs to have it block, hoping that will solve this ongoing problem I was having.

Not that I can tell, this is what shows up in the logs of just one of the hack or scan attempts.

It’s more like an inbound connection that is triggering the alert.

No, I don’t have any ports forwarded to my PC from the internet as far as I’m aware.

Not sure what anecdote is, but I’m actually quite upset about these shenanigans the companies that produce the current flat screen stuff they allow to happen in the first place.

Well then, just hope that your neighbor doesn’t turn around to pair into your device and blast porn at full volume on your TV, get you pissed off as to WTF you can’t turn it off, end up throwing the whole thing into the Recycle Bin, and look into some kind of CRT TV that can’t be f***ed with like you are also pissed off with the current company that produces the current flat screen stuff.
