I’d recommend checking out OnlyOffice

I thought at worst it’d be a typewriter with a vga or ps2 hookup but this is worse than I thought
having to use that and only that means you’re gigafucked💀
reading the article, I had a thought/question: wouldn’t the Swintec typewriter solely act as the typing implement and not as a stream blocker in a sense?
The typewriter obviously wouldn’t have functions such as n-key-rollover, macros and whatnot but would it restrict what application can interpret the user’s input?
If so then maybe someone could agrue that this is yet another case of IBM’s Bundling
Last, he wipes down the Swintec typewriter bolted to the table.
you’re right and that’s real cursed
even in the place closest to hell on Earth it looks like FOSS prevails yet again🌻
behold OnlyOffice installable on Linux, Windows, and macOS
By highlighting singular instances of a sharp rapid success story; people can be shown a mirage-like image which encourages others to follow suit.
If by following the formula it works, then there should be an explosion of successful entrepreneurs in the market. This is untrue otherwise the market distribution would look unlike how it currently is (probably more mid class, less low income class, higher top income bracket).
The reality is that most of the time (>60% I’d approximate), replicating “rags-to-riches” strategies does not produce the same successes as the highlight primarily showcases exception cases. Sometimes a person stumbled onto gold, and by putting a spotlight on that instance you’re showcasing only the business ventures that happened to pay off, sometimes it’s skill, perhaps a combination of both, other times pure RNG🎲.
Ex: Sharktank, from the start you only see a fraction of the people that can even afford to start ventures show up as a contestant, just how many are able to get an investment, and what are the chances that they’d succeed without an investor, publisher, starting funds, etc?
To me “rags to riches” are a prime example of a combination/parallel of a couple of things:
If rags to riches worked, I and many others would be millionaires if not billionaires.
Personally I don’t trust the systems that these stories are built on and displayed as. I think the shows are entertaining but only that and nothing more.
