I had no idea. With all of the things I have to follow on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis some things are just going to fall through the cracks. "Minor public figure holds reprehensible views" won't generally hit my radar. "Major public figure did something reprehensible" may not hit my radar depending on how busy or drunk I am in a given week, which will leave me wondering why people hate them years later.
I'm not saying this as a criticism of you. You brought it up which is super valuable. There's just so much shit to keep up with that I always appreciate context because I have other things going on and rarely have any idea what reprehensible thing a particular person has said or done.
Hey no sweat
I just happen to be old enough to have known / read about / heard about RMS for decades. Given enough time, if you're at all interested in the free software movement, his less-than-savory traits naturally end up coming to your attention. -

It's the root mean square of Riker.

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.
I genuinely think they're just incompetent lol
You should see the windows xp source code

I kinda like using Doctorow for this:
- Similar facial expression
- Works with the EFF
- Cool shades

I write my papers in markdown. Simple to write, easy to paste into Discord or Lemmy, and you can use pandoc to instantly turn it into any format you like.

most of them accept pdfs so if thats the case for you just write the assignment in typst or latex and compile to pdf
This is the way.

I just happen to be old enough to have known / read about / heard about RMS for decades. Given enough time, if you're at all interested in the free software movement, his less-than-savory traits naturally end up coming to your attention.I've been using free software (both free as in freedom and free as in beer) off and on since I discovered slackware in the 90s, but I'll be the first to admit I'm not plugged into the scene. I'm not plugged into most scenes except possibly rock and Americana music, and I know all the gross shit that happened there. Rock music especially. And that may actually be why I tend to avoid getting plugged in.
But I went through the whole report. I'm sad to find out someone with such lofty ideals in one area is so scummy. A lot of that just sounds like typical neckbeard idiocy dialed up to maximum. And if he were just any neckbeard or incel on the street everyone could just dismiss him. But he's a prominent figure that represents a movement spouting gross and harmful shit. It has nothing to do with the validity of the movement, nor does it remove the value of free software, but him being a keynote speaker everywhere and being so involved makes things feel dirty.
I don't know. I didn't take my medication today so I'm scattered. I just hate when people doing important or influential work are gross people, especially if they have harmful attitudes towards minors.

OpenOffice
Dude that thing doesn't get a proper update since 2014, the most they do today is code style changes!Indeed the libreoffice team wrote them a letter in 2020 about this:
https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/Libreoffice is so nice. I also use onlyoffice on my phone, and have liked it so far.

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Ooh I would fucking LAY into her in the review if she did that, and cause a stink to the dean. That shit would've pissed me off so bad. I hate when people expect you to be telepathic like that.

Wasn't .docx also supposed to be an open standard but M$ kept fucking with the implementation so it would only work in Office?
Yes, it technically is a standard, but because it's an ISO standard you have to pay for I wouldn't call it open. https://www.iso.org/standard/71691.html but people have different definitions of what an open standard is and I'm not trying to critique them.

Okay, I just want to say I blame schools for Microsoft's monopoly on personal computing. School sysadmins are always dazzled by the shiny looking gifts that Microsoft gives them, ensuring the next generation of Microsoft useds is ready.
