OnlyOffice Desktop Editors…

Simpler interface but lacking more advanced features of MS Office or Libre. It has the features 90% of users actually use though.

Nearly perfect DOCX formatting compatibility. The only thing I have ever noticed when collaborating with Word users is the bullet symbols on list items may be different on my end.

They don’t have boats and really don’t care for going to the beach.

Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.

Good news everyone! We all DO have this problem… It’s just most obvious in China because they industrialized and urbanized more rapidly than anyone else AND had this stupid legal policy.

Industrialization, urbanization and improving healthcare also significantly drops births, to below the replacement rate of 2.1. The whole world is on this path, with China, Japan, South Korea, Germany and Russia leading the way.

Watched it live and I kept waiting for him to yell “Get off my lawn!”

I’m a technical writer (aircraft maintenance and flight operations manuals, mostly) and eliminating ambiguity is key to clear, effective communication.

Leaving out that comma takes a sentence with only one possible interpretation and gives it several options instead.

Maybe 3.5k and a pizza party.

Didn’t they find parts from an Electra in the surf on the edge of a South Pacific atoll several years ago, with no other Electra ever reported lost in the area, and signs of decades old brief human habitation on the island?

Copy the file and paste it into anywhere you can enter text… you get the path to the file as text.

I see one sponsor link, no other ads.

Choose your browser extensions, choose your browsing experience.

I’m honestly surprised that the US cares about it… There’s near zero economic or strategic concerns left in that region for the US.

How ironic.

This is not actually setting a precedent… This determination was made numerous times before without convictions, mostly in the aftermath of the Civil War. The precedent of a conviction or even a formal charge being unnecessary is long-standing.

And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?

It’s hard to feel sympathy for people giving money to companies like Ubisoft, Epic and EA. It’s not like them being assholes that constantly screw over their customers is a new thing.

It’s not enough to just own a rocket company… the rocket company also needs to have rockets.

Should probably have dictated the ultimatum first, before firing anyone, so they could self-select the departures. Then, if it’s not enough, cut some more to get the final numbers the manglers want.

Travel between worksites is on the clock.

We’ve demonstrated for years now that home is a worksite.

I’m happy to drive in to the company office from my personal office, so long as my commute time is on the clock.

Eroding that boundary can also be in your favor… I can step away from the desk for a few minutes to start my laundry, prep something for dinner, or even just go to the grocery store during “lunch” because I can bring the food straight back home since I’m not far away from home at an office. Working remotely is giving me back time. And this isn’t time “lost” from the employer’s perspective… I’m just doing something useful with my break times rather than wandering down to the water-cooler to chat with other employees.

The trick is to allow only the erosion that you find acceptable. That’s a matter of personal organization and self-control, and each person has to set up a system that works best for them. I use a spare bedroom as my office, and I only go in there during working hours. Everything work-related stays in there.

This… I recently took a fully-remote position, but my wife is hybrid so we’re still tied down.
