Wasn't .docx also supposed to be an open standard but M$ kept fucking with the implementation so it would only work in Office?

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.
Yeah, LibreOffice saves in docx. Which is fine as long as you don't care what it looks like when they open it.

Isn’t it open? It works with Dropbox and macOS Numbers opens .docx and saves as .docx.

It's the right thing to complain about that kind of stuff and to do it officially.

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 agree, I fixed it.

Haven't used word in over 20 years and have no intention of ever using it again.
OpenOffice baby!

At least for school assignments this is easily fixed by just opening it yourself in the school library and adjusting format. It's usually pretty minor.
Honestly most of my professors accepted papers saved as pdfs which was helpful too

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 : /
