Datenhunger, Cloud-Gängelei, Copilot-Übergriffe – viele Gründe für einen Abschied von Microsoft Office. Wir vergleichen fünf Alternativen.
Fedi brain:
Anyone know a kludge to access a Microsoft SharePoint list in a StateFull manner, so it doesn't jump back to the top every time I interact with an item and require me to scroll back down to where I was?
@roman78 @scottwilson still...
@hn50 this sounds geckibg #cursed.

Microsoft tests ad-financed Office Light
Microsoft 365 without subscription fees, but with advertising. Some users can try this out. There are many restrictions.
Microsoft testet werbefinanziertes Office Light
Microsoft 365 ohne Abo-Gebühren, dafür mit Werbung. Das können manche User ausprobieren. Es gibt viele Einschränkungen.
@malwarejake add to that the inherent and unfixable #incopatibility of #CloudAct to #GDPR & #BDSG, and you know why all the #GAFAMs are #banned on my end!
It's just that simple of a reason why I refuse to use #Windows, #MicrosoftOffice, #Microsoft365 #GoogleDocs, etc.
Alternatives are out there! Don’t let them control your data & exposure!
#discord = #matrix #revolt #rocketchat
security: #bitwarden
#microsoftoffice = #LibreOffice
#datadog = #grafana (love your work!)
There are many more, please feel free to add your favourite #foss / #opensource alternatives as a reply. :) I hope in the future we can all own our own data.
@admin @marquito Ganz ehrlich, wer sich #Windows gibt ist cybermasochistisch, denn unter jesem halbwegs kompetenten System/Distro läuft das einfach.
Ich glabe mit #MicrosoftOffice ist es so wie mit #AdobeAcrobat: Nur die Leute nutzen es die glauben es gäbe nix anderes / besseres!
I just checked my #MicrosoftOffice subscription and noticed that I don’t have a Microsoft Office subscription because I let it lapse last October when MS went down the #AI rabbit-hole.
I’m investigating the possibility of moving across to #LibreOffice from #MicrosoftOffice because they’re trying to charge me more to unwillingly endure the intrusive #Copilot #AI features
but I need access to voice #dictation because I use it as a #transcription tool, and also I use speech to text a lot on my iPhone because I find typing very laborious and inaccurate
So on the LibreOffice forums, I was investigating whether you can do that in Writer (its version of Word), and I discovered a link to Apple‘s list of what you say aloud in dictation to make the text format exactly as you like
And I’m quite excited to actually see it all written down, so if you’re interested here’s the list:

Microsoft: Excel für Windows bekommt einen richtigen Dark Mode
Excel soll unter Windows bald komplett abgedunkelt werden können, ein Ausprobieren ist schon möglich. Außerdem bekommen Teams und Outlook gemeinsame Kontakte.

There's many things I like about Microsoft Office 365. Probably my favorite feature is the six 1 TB OneDrive allocations - last time I compared, none of the personal cloud storage options come close in price.
One thing I really dislike is the omission of Spreadsheet Compare. This extremely helpful tool allows you to compare two Excel files to see the differences.
