..Most amazingly: #macos cannot manage #firefox NOR #MSword which fail to start after a while. Only with #claudecode could I make my #MacBookProM1 actual let me do word processing! Hilarious state of affairs because IF I HAVE TO use and LLM to make the simplest thing work in #macos then I am finally justified in using the LLM to set up a #linux machine just the way I want it and learn something. Thanks #apple for making my choices so easy, logical & keeping me on the path of least resistance 2/2

#MSword autosave on my enterprise network only does #autosave if you select to use the cloud i.e. #onedrive
Is that normal? Is there a work-around?

Since I have a research project of my own, I decided that I am actually free to write manuscripts in #LaTeX, going against the lab conventions, but it doesn't seem like everyone (and, at times, that includes me) appreciates the outcome. I am just zooming into how the preview of a rendered pdf of an article looks like and "Wow, this is incredible!" is my reaction, but the spirits are dampened a bit by "Oh for Hermes' sake, while you sought for the resources to use the right packages to render those two-column figures properly, you could've submitted the manuscript by now, using #MSWord, like every other (sane) person does!"

Has anyone been able to get a valid conforming #ODF document result out of The Document Foundation's ODF Validator with an ODT file created by a non-OpenOffice derived word processor? It seems the validator just never finds a valid result with an ODT document produced by WordPad (supposedly ODF 1.1, yet not versioned at all), MS Word 2019 (supposedly ODF 1.2) and SoftMaker's TextMaker 2024 (more probably ODF 1.2 or 1.3, but versioned 1.0).
