The lonely tech post thread.

Does anyone decline cookies? Doesn’t it get annoying when you have to do it on every visit?

Yes. But I let my browser do it for me automagically and just switch 'on' those I want/need, like Urban, my email etc, blah

Brave and DuckDuckGo for the win.

Which brings me to a question (see below).
 
Is there a simple/cheap way to just buy Microsft Word? (or Office with it bundled, I know you can't buy Word alone really)
For an older friend who can't be fucked with and has no interest in subscription models.
It doesn't have to be the most up to date version.
I can see Office 2019 on Amazon for £29.99 which doesn't feel legit somehow.

He doesn't need Microsoft 365, cloud storage, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook etc.
He doesn't want to use the free, web version of Word only (in case he needs to write somewhere without web access).
Nor does he want to pay £120 for MICROSOFT Office Home & Student 2021 - Lifetime for 1 user from Currys/similar.
No he can't cope with Libre Office or similar, because:change.

So - cheap versions? Bent versions? How? Where? What?

Those less then legit versions. You don't even need to pay that much. Microsoft price the perpetual licenses in such a way you get a subscription.
