Haven’t used word in over 20 years and have no intention of ever using it again.
OpenOffice baby!
most of them accept pdfs so if thats the case for you just write the assignment in typst or latex and compile to pdf
I once failed a uni assignment, because the teachers assistant wrote remarks on a pdf in a way that’s only viewable in adobe’s products.
She failed us because “we ignored her remarks”. Had no idea they were there.
It’s the right thing to complain about that kind of stuff and to do it officially.
Wasn’t .docx also supposed to be an open standard but M$ kept fucking with the implementation so it would only work in Office?
Isn’t it open? It works with Dropbox and macOS Numbers opens .docx and saves as .docx.
So does LibreOffice, but they’ve been called out multiple times for purposefully making the format overly complex to make it as hard as possible to reliable read and write to it.
Could we perhaps not drag RMS out of whatever dark place we’re blessed not to hear about him from now?
We have enough pedo shit going on with the POTUS at the moment.
Also, LibreOffice saves in .docx format, if you want to be pragmatic rather than dogmatic.
I agree, I fixed it.
For anyone who’s not aware:
https://stallman-report.org/Thanks. Sorry I should have linked to it. I kind of assumed it was common knowledge.
What do we do ir we want to be automática?
Yeah, LibreOffice saves in docx. Which is fine as long as you don’t care what it looks like when they open it.
I can smell this pic.*
