YMMV, but if you use Microsoft Office and are concerned about its AI and use of private documents for AI training, I’ve happily used @libreoffice’s Writer for years, exchanging documents with Microsoft Office users.

It is available for Windows and macOS, as well as Linux.

You don’t have to uninstall Microsoft Office to try it - the two will run side by side just fine.

Periodic reminder

Your parents probably taught you from a young age not to take gifts from strangers, right?
So, why do you blindly accept now "free" services from companies online?

Microsoft banned Palestinians from its products because they called their families in Gaza on Skype.

I’ve met Palestinians who’ve lost their relatives in Israeli bombardments. People involved in Gaza humanitarian aid.

American corporations can cut them off from essential internet/communication services on a lark.

The executive order follows a ProPublica investigation that found Microsoft prioritized profit over security, leaving the federal government vulnerable to the largest hack in U.S. history. Vendors must now demonstrate that their products are secure.

Coworker: Sir, how do you deal with stress, depression, and the rat race of life?

Me: Ah, my friend, whenever existential dread starts creeping in, I remember... somewhere out there, in the giant maze of Microsoft, there's a poor soul whose sole purpose is to ensure Microsoft Edge functions flawlessly on Linux. Suddenly, my problems seem far less difficult to solve. It's all about perspective, you see. 😉
