ODT supremacy.
I was the annoying little shit in college asking my profs if they took it. I’m surprised none used that opportunity to tell me to use LaTeX (don’t worry my technical writing prof took plenty of opportunities to spread the good word format)
No problem, everybody just migrate over to tumblr, the next-generation PDF, problem solved.
Id do a ‘save as…’ for now, just to be on the safe side
DOCX is a windows format. Use ODT instead.
The orange tumor isn’t interested in throwing a tariff on pdf for a free format. This guy wants you to buy macroshaft products.

Is it necessary to start these discussions every single time
There’s always a relevant xkcd

LaTeX users: “Guess I’ll go back to DVI”
Well pdf is overused anyway. Maybe we can get some more use of epub or just straight up html
Different use cases
That’s part of the problem. PDF is used in all sorts of places where it shouldn’t.
Anywhere where it’s meant to be edited for one thing. Keep the docx
*don’t use docx in the first place
What’s wrong with docx
Proprietary format that only “works” with one software
Docx is a an open format. Word just does some things weird
Not an open format. Microsoft just pretends it is. But it isn’t. They subverted the whole system, didn’t even hide it, just to push their impossible to implement format through.
So now it still has to be reverse engineered, and they get to call it “open”.
germany be like: no problem, we’ll just keep using faxes
Markdown everything
OOTL on this?
