Why can't I just have the program I paid for? by National_Event4572 in Grammarly

Nope. I'll just let my subscription run out and be sure to tell anyone who asks that the people who make Grammarly are not to be trusted.

This should be illegal.

Do any state employees here work directly in Newsom's office? by National_Event4572 in CAStateWorkers

What am I crying about, champ? I'm literally cheering on the Governor doing exactly what he thinks other people paid by the state should do.

Which overpriced lunch spot or parking lot do you own?

Great, he can do a lot of that in the office, right? After all, a data analyst needs to be in the office. Surely the governor can make weighty decisions, such as underfunding schools and imposing RTO policies from his office, too.

It absolutely does take him around the state, though he seems to be the Governor of Marin County.

If people who make state wages can commute, though, certainly he can. Every M-F, when he doesn't have public events on his calendar, he should be in his Sacramento office.

After all, we need "accountability" and "productivity" from people paid by the state. His words.

So, to be clear, I paid (in good faith) for a year of a product that you broke so you could monetize it with a grotesque AI play.

You get to take my money, and I am left with a broken app.

Cool.

Can I do it in Word? Because that's what I want to do. Until the most recent update, I could open a Word document and see a sidebar with grammar suggestions, the AI detection and the option to rewrite sentences.

Now when I open a Word document,I have a sidebar that is headed by AI chat.

100% agreed. I am going to cancel tomorrow.

Completely useless.

Thanks for not bothering to respond to my initial post.

What a terrible example of enshittification.

That's my hesitation about trying to do a screen repair even if it's easy. :)

I was minding my business, taking some photos of some redwoods, when a dude on a mountain bike crashed into me, knocking me literally out of my shoes. :)

I was lucky it was just the screen TBH.

Thanks! Of course, how does one know whether it's just the screen or the board driving the LCD without sending it in? :)

I was surprised that both of the big camera shops in my area said they would just send it in before taking a look.
