Corporate execs literally cum over MS’s next big thing. A lot of companies use MS-based infrastructure and applications.

Yeah, I mean I'm in that boat myself. But I have the option of SharePoint or Confluence at work and despite the fact that it also sucks, I'm choosing Confluence ten out of ten times.

I get that some people try to do actual work in these docs, but it strikes me as junk every time I encounter it.

I honestly don't understand why I would ever write up or share a Microsoft document.

As for word, it's just fucking rich text format. It's obvious they're manipulating the format to lock down users with less computer knowledge. Otherwise, why is it so fucking complicated?

Markdown accomplishes 90% of what a word doc does and it is legible with or without rendering.

EDIT: If I want data in or out of a spreadsheet program, I'm using CSV.

All of the "special features" of office docs wind up being security nightmares, unusable junk, or both.

For some reason, corporate just can't stop itself from slaughtering its own golden cow.

Oh it mattered, it became a chuckle line used in memes that I couldn't enjoy even at the time because I knew that his stupid, racist bullshit would not be interpreted in a normal way by most of the electorate.

Sure, exactly what Bernie was doing. So like, we agree then that Bernie was correct to endorse Harris even if she became kind of a shit sandwich along the way.

Unlike this guy, who I guess would rather have Bernie tell his supporters to vote for Trump? Not endorse? It's unclear because their position is so mindless, which is why I replied what I did.
