Microsoft 365 recently introduced a massive anti-feature. You can now EITHER save document locally and do not have autosave, or save document in their cloud, and do not have local copy.

What f&*%ng idiot have accepted this change...

Wer von euch NICHT ITler:Innen oder Webdesigner:Innen schreibt und notiert Texte in Markdown Format? (egal für oder/und auf was)

Ich nutze es so gut wie immer, auch für Notitzen. Doch einige beschweren sich, dass dies zu umständlich und schwer sei. Ich sei ITler deswegen sei es nichts für sie ect. Deren ausreden verstehe ich nicht aber kann mir wer diese erklären? (nope Weblinks wird nicht von denen angenommen)

Dies kann mensch aber nicht von :Innen fordern. Werde dies wohl automatisiert per Script anbieten müssen und dies in oder Alternative mit mehr -Formate?

Как тебе такое Microsoft :blobfoxnerd:
В ответ на появление sudo в Windows разработчики сообщества свободного ПО решили перенести Word в OpenBSD.
На этот шаг ментейнеры проекта и последователи Тео де Раадта пошли из-за претензий по поводу попытки Microsoft сделать свою версию sudo для Windows 11 без предварительного согласования своих действий с разработчиками оригинальной утилиты.

Как отмечает Тео де Раадт (создатель OpenBSD):

Cделать это нужно также, как и в Microsoft:

  1. Не обращать внимания на путаницу в именах.

  2. Не заботиться о совместимом поведении.

  3. Не заботиться о товарных знаках или де-факто товарных знаках.

  4. Не спрашивать первоначальные продуктовые команды, все ли в порядке.

See the red circle in Figure 1. Friends, that thing is not an apostrophe! It’s a left single quotation mark. Please don’t get caught making this egregious punctuation error. Yeah, yeah, people insist on using the not-really-very-smart quote mechanisms in apps like MS Word. If you use “smart quotes”, please post-process documents to fix these, instead of letting them leak into the wild, much to the embarrassment of your groovy company.

As far as I can tell, they are perceived pretty differently. Take your pick of markup/down, such as , , or whatever.

Some have greater specificity than others. Some have dreadfully few features.

@deshipu yea maybe.

Actually, the choice is more between and . On the web, people continue to insist on something -ish, oblivious to the fact that the content they produce is in very poor condition.

Hmm, I thought I got this from mastodon, but I must have gotten it from Tumblr.

With the ease of creating versions of text that ChatGPT brings, whoever invents a system that can easily allow you to compare and merge or rewrite or swap out text by the chunk will do really well! Does any such product exist?

PSiReN,

I use for ... what you mean by "easily allow"...

It would really enhance my ability to finish this overdue report if would stop making all my text disappear at random intervals.

Anyone know why this happens...and how to make it stop? (updating and rebooting have not helped)

Hey fellow and everyone else who writes and maintains , have you ever used or as alternatives to or ? I'm researching "affordable" alternatives for creating offline docs (PDF and/or other outputs), so if you have any suggestions, fire away. Thanks!

Note: is out of the question. 😁
