Ah! They are open? Partly my bad then. I also wondered if ODF was written in a way that prohibited online collaboration, or at least made it very expensive.
Yeah, on #3 I think I misremembered how far back France started using open source. Hopefully this means more ODF native options
Ahahaha. Fuck off. I've had plenty of friends from Taiwan where I've pointed out they were the Republic of China in their passport and I lived in China too so I'm far from ignorant on this. I'm just pointing out that you clearly have some biases. As do I to be fair but I didn't give my personal position here, just pointed out that you're pushing people in a slightly manipulative way in yours
Is Korea a civil war that ended? How about the confederates in the US? The Maori in New Zealand? What's would you say about Yugoslavia?
I think a lot of people see a difference between groups prancing about saying words, and the pragmatic situation.
I'm not saying anything about the ideal outcome for any of those situations I've listed. Just that they've been stable for long enough they fit a definition of "ended", even if over time that situation does change a little and that internal civil wars have a habit of forming new nations even while some groups hold onto the past
Sure for isolated machines. I was using open office on isolated machines 20 years ago, I'm glad the software is better now.
But there is value in cloud storage for institutions and collaborative editing. All the European offerings I saw for this were autoconverting to Microsoft formats (pcloud, onlyoffice) and they both seem to have at least part open source licenses so it's surprising to me.
Its also surprising to me that there are mostly viewing options on iPhone (but not surprising to me that there is low support, just that it's almost only view only)
Yeah, I get why Microsofts formats are entrenched
I don't so much get why they aren't mostly export formats since:
I guess #3 will just take time and to them there is risk that Trump leaves and everyone goes back to Microsoft
Yeah, I quite like libreoffice on the mac but I'm not always on my mac. I kind of thought one of the European cloud storage providers might offer support for editing too but they auto convert to Microsoft formats during edit and that just seems like it would be more error prone. And on an iPhone I only found one app that would edit in place, everything else views or converts to Microsoft formats
If you're planning a suicide there are people out there to talk to:

If not, don't waste the book by waiting
Yeah, so that accounts for the grey being reasonable (although in some of these a arguably too large, if things are well established and people are unsure that's because of groups spreading uncertainty)
The article is mostly focused on that red bar though
Oh? All those people that love playing and watching sports that help give sports people (at the top) large salaries don't fit well. Nor do a lot of people that display other people's art (that love art). I think you're grossly simplifying in a very pessimistic way
I wonder what you do about this.
I just started reading Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan, published in 1994, and the intro is basically saying the same thing but framed as curious people being more well read in Atlantis than they are in interesting recent science or critical thinking skills
For each statement, between 25% and 32% of respondents said they believed it, and another sizeable percentage (17–39%) said they didn’t know whether it was true. In total, 70% of respondents believed at least one of the claims (see ‘Divided views’). The findings, which have not been peer reviewed and were published today by the Edelman Trust Institute in New York City, were described as ‘staggering’ in an accompanying article by the think tank’s chief executive, Richard Edelman.
Donald Trump recently made a Truth social post with a doctored Wikipedia page that added he was the Acting President of Venezuela.
What are some examples of past leaders making similar claims?
I assume empires did it a lot, and that it's been done a lot as a pretext for war, but I'm pretty ignorant of historic examples.
It's a pretty weak argument using a metric without historical numbers then claiming it means something.
It seems reasonable less people would be building a rig with the price crunch, but that survey and this article isn't making much of a case for the argument besides emotional appeal
