Oi, geez. I wish it wasn't so hard to compare Microsoft licensing options to one another. It's kinda hard to tell if I'm really getting all the things that I need or not.

They are judging books by their covers... because book bans are stupid! And people are effectively crowd sourcing ban requests. I wouldn't be surprised if there's one busybody trying to ban 1000s of books every day because they don't have love in their life

It would probably really help the US consciences and screw with all politicians if the news didn't report on anything until they actually released reports, evidence, etc. It's exhausting when someone's reporting on something someone said instead of actual news. "Expert" testimonials? Mmmhmm 🙄
