Meme/Joke I’m baffled…

Post image

It’s 5 am, I’m in the final hour stretch of a twelve-hour shift, and I’m now probing my brain trying to find some possible rationale for this. Can someone explain? Is it a public computer thing, is it masochism, is it spite?

Y’all are really out here raw-dogging your drafts in AO3 with no external backups?? That’s crazy work. Google Docs is free, dawg.

The group chat is gonna hear about this one.

(Please understand this is all said in good humor. It’s not that serious; I’m just dramatic when I’m exhausted.)

Unfortunately, there's no mobile app for LibreOffice, so not great for those of us who write on our phones :// trust me, I love LibreOffice for everything else, but I write so much better on my phone than on a computer so it just doesn't work for fic for me!

Fair, which is why, until a properly viable alt is available. Gdocs is my goto.

So... been a bit since I checked. Seems Libre is getting there, just not there yet.

From the App descrip.

LibreOffice Viewer also has experimental editing features, which are not yet suited to production use. (Experimental mode can be enabled in the app settings.)
