Gestern erfolglos versucht, MS #Office (Home) im MS Store zu erwerben. Mal davon ab, dass ich es etwas befremdlich finde, sich erst registrieren zu müssen, um etwas erwerben zu dürfen, hat mich die Webseite final auch nicht gelassen: Beliebige Variationen von Anmelde-Loops, 2FA Codes per Mail und anderen Schikanen.

Ich frage mich, wie #Microsoft so groß werden konnte.

#introduction

Our motto is »#Linux #OpenSource News & #KnowHow for #Office Tasks.«

Our posts are for #solopreneurs, #trainers, #facilitators, and everybody else who tackles their office tasks using open source software under Linux.

While we appreciate #portability, we're strictly Linux-only. With respect to other operating systems: no bashing, no praise, no comparisons. We've already made our choice.

I dagens @svd skriver @carl om hur #DataPrivacyFramework tycks vara i gungning efter att Trump sparkat dataövervakare (som är de som säkerställer att USA efterlever överenskommelsen med EU) Det kan leda till ett abrupt stopp för amerikanska molntjänster som Microsoft #Office och #Google Drive Väcker återigen frågan om vilken digital beredskap (aka #opensource o #fediverse) vi Europa egentligen har, privat och offentligt. svd.se/a/637vlO/amerikanska-mo

On #organizations:

Here "Sociopaths" is a shorthand for the Protestant-Ethic will-to-power types who drive an organization to function despite itself.

"Among the Sociopaths, status is irrelevant. Table stakes and skill at using them is what matters. Sociopaths pay attention to what you have, and how well you bargain with it. Not who you are."

Atomic and Exodus crypto wallets targeted in malicious npm campaign

A malicious npm package named pdf-to-office was discovered targeting cryptocurrency wallets. The package, posing as a PDF to Office converter, injects malicious code into locally installed Atomic and Exodus wallets. This attack modifies legitimate files to redirect crypto funds to the attacker's wallet. The campaign shows persistence, as removing the malicious package doesn't remove the injected code from the wallets. Multiple versions of both wallets were targeted, with the attackers adapting their code accordingly. This incident highlights the growing scope of software supply chain risks, particularly in the cryptocurrency industry, and emphasizes the need for improved monitoring of both source code repositories and locally deployed applications.

In Sachen #office bin ich ohnehin schon lange weg von #microsoft. Entweder nutze ich die Apple-eigenen Office-Programme, welche mit #macos ausgeliefert werden (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), oder ich benutze #libreoffice. Pages ist allerdings zugänglicher. Das muss ich schon sagen.

Und sonst so?

Keine Werbung auf Webseiten. Keine Cookies oder Tracker. So weit wie möglich versuche ich das zu vermeiden. Das Internet funktioniert auch prima ohne den Mist. (4/5)

"The Palestinian-led BDS movement, supported by Microsoft workers, calls on people of conscious to pressure Microsoft to end its complicity in Israeli apartheid and AI-powered genocide. To pressure Microsoft, boycott Microsoft’s consumer products whenever possible"

BDS MovementMicrosoftMicrosoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
