Had to help a friend fix an #Microsoft #Office license issue.
Apparently the download was corrupt & hence MS thought it was a invalid copy. The only way to fix it was uninstall it, but Windows didn't recognize it as installed, even thought it was! Ended up downloading an offline copy, mounting it and installing with no internet connection & that worked.
Absolutely mindboggling how bad this all is. This is #monopoly #tech in action. Being forced to pay $$$ for shitty products that don't work.
Brettspiele sind toll, aber gelegentlich ist nach einer Partie #Monopoly doch mal die Stimmung schlecht. Dennoch ist es eines der beliebtesten Spiele weltweit. Ursprünglich stammt die Idee dazu von Elizabeth Magie, die damit eigentlich über die Gefahr von Monopolen aufklären wollte.

Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.

@pluralistic I’m reading chapter 12 of Chokepoint Capitalism and it’s really sad to see how we are very far away from fair antitrust policies, especially now with an oligarchical government run by the Big Tech. It’s somehow disheartening.
