It’s for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.

While I personally love LibreOffice, I get why your mom might not. It’s super easy:

  1. Download and install Office
  2. run irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex in Powershell and follow the instructions
  3. Profit!

What doesn’t she like about LibreOffice, out of curiosity? It’s easy to make the layout like Office (View > User Interface > Tabbed) if that’s her problem - I felt the exact same way, but the second I found out I could do that, I never went back.

Done this a while ago for my brother who needed Office for work but isn’t as tech minded as I am. It’s honestly a fantastic tool, kudos to the creator!

Man everyone I work with uses PDF and I have to do some janky shit to fill it out and sign it. Not that I would want docx either…

I never knew about this. How did you find out about this method?

Yeah please teach me how you found it so I can be as resourceful as you. I’m not really interested in your self deprecation. Thank you.

But, seriously, I’m pretty obsessed with piracy stuff and have spent an insane amount of time poring over lists like FMHY so it’s like trivia to me now

Not OP, but I’m aware of it just from seeing it mentioned in threads like this. There might be a community or list available showing all these cool things but a lot of the time it just goes around by word-of-mouth.

What’s this do? Been linux only for like 12 years and don’t keep up with office

Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*

  • it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.

Turns out the powershell step is enough to get 97% of users to shell out cash.

And also, the biggest source of revenue is institutions who either will pay for the enterprise license, or can be sued for a good payday if they try to pirate.

I would pay to not use PowerShell, but I’m a Linux user so I don’t need to :)

Why not use powershell on linux :)

I don’t even understand why, it literally easier to crack, no need for an account

It literally easier to crack

It is not easier for almost every human on the planet.
