Hi.
So, now that pages has joined my no-go list because of apple deciding that a predatory subscription model is a good idea, I will have to change word processors again.
The question at hand is, which word processor is accessible at all?

You just get extra stuff, mostly AI junk as far as I can tell, if you subscribe. Also maybe some templates or something.

I mean, sure, they don't like *the trend*. Anybody can look at a change and go, "they're gonna do more of that, you just hide and watch"! They don't know that. I don't know that. Nobody knows. They could make it all subscription all the time tomorrow, or it could be just like it is now for the next twelve years.
