I thought from the headline that it was just a downgrade to Business Standard, no this is to Business Basic! That’s a huge yikes, it’s so much harder to be productive in those web versions.

I honestly would not be surprised if users work out installing LibreOffice et al. so they can still have a desktop app experience because of this move.

I’m not seeing it either. I found an article about this that explains this was due to the USA sanctioning the ICC https://www.lbc.co.uk/world-news/british-icc-chief-prosecutor-lost-email-bank-accounts-frozen-trump-sanctions/

I hear you, and I’m sure others do too, even if they don’t reply back.

I’m not sure how to take this post, whether you’re looking for some direction on where to go next, if you’re just venting about your current situation, or something else.

Regardless, you’ve reached out to someone somewhere here on Lemmy and that’s great. Maybe someone else here will comment some great advice specific to you, but otherwise I would highly suggest you find some free service to help if you haven’t already.

I’m not sure where you are in the world (and I don’t expect you to divulge that), but a good start might be a debt helpline. Australia has one, and I’ve been fortunate enough so far not to need it, so I can’t speak for how good or bad they generally are but I don’t see the harm in trying.

If you’ve already tried reaching out for help and you’re still both in this situation and clearly stressed, don’t discount all help options because the ones you tried didn’t work out. Outside of public services, even asking friends (especially older ones) for advice would be worth it. Even the lady across the counter you regularly shop at. Don’t dump it all on them but just ask if they were in crippling debt what would they do.
