For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

Microsoft Word is a bad piece of software that is poorly designed, laughably unoptimized, and mostly dysfunctional. It's like a passenger car with seven wheels arranged in an irregular septagon, a 1 gallon gas tank, and a kitchen stool for a seat.

Also hype clothes are a tremendous waste and reveal the hollowness and meaninglessness that underlies most fashion

Microsoft Word...

That's neither an opinion nor petty; those are just straight facts.

I hate Microsoft Word. It's so inefficient. When the template breaks and you spend an hour trying to fix some formatting. Just give me a latex template and let me focus on the actual content please.

I am trying to write more on latex as I am trying to switch away from

Microsoft Word is a bad piece of software

and it's constantly begging you to buy into it or register.

nope

installs and cues up Libre office

Just update word 03 with some security and bug fixes and be done with it. It still does literally everything anyone ever did with word.

Microsoft Word works fine the few times that I do use it, but I mostly use L^A^T~E~X and maybe some markdown.

I had to look up Hype clothing. So it's just branded super expensive basic clothes? Is this popular for some reason.

[–] Nanokindled@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Supreme is the ultimate example, but also stuff like yeezees. And far be it from me to judge those more fashionable than myself. But most streetwear / hype stuff is just normal stuff but really shit quality and with the price upped by an order of magnitude b/c of intense social media FOMO. So, so dumb

Do you have a suggestion for a replacement? I've been looking for something to write in and didn't want to buy MS office.

[–] Kryostar@mastodon.online 2 points 1 year ago

@GraceGH @Nanokindled LibreOffice. Great software, works as you would expect.

The UI/UX leaves a lot to be desired though.
