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.
When I was in college and I needed extra time on a paper (because I procrastinated too hard), I would deliberately save the .odt as an incompatible .doc format and submit it. Which gave me at least as much time as it took for the professor to let me know they couldn't open it and ask to resubmit.

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:

Thanks. Sorry I should have linked to it. I kind of assumed it was common knowledge.
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.

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.
Had the same in gymnasium, eventually got it overturned via bitching about it. Notes wouldnt even show up on their webapp : /

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:

- 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.
