Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I hate Word and DOCX with a passion.

I'm looking for a new job and had someone rewrite my resumé because it hasn't been recreated in like 8 or 9 years and I didn't wanna do it.

They sent it to me but when I opened it in Google Docs all the bullet points had dotted boxes around them and so did the table. Any attempts at making my own edits completely SNAFU'd the formatting. Downloading the doc as PDF looked fine, but of course I couldn't edit it easily. He was able to fix it so Docs wouldn't bork everything with one change.

How 🧙‍♂️

(He probably didn’t say but I’m curious)

In Word there's a button to show hidden formatting symbols like line breaks. SOMETIMES that can help but not always.

*résumé

I really tried to let it go, but I am regrettably a French.

You poor batârd.

I mean, you're using different tools to do the same job, what did you expect?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That they be compatible with one another. Word and DOCX are the standard, but Microsoft intentionally making it difficult in order to drive profits.

You'll never be able to predict all potential scenarios, one program will always interpret things one way and the other program will apply it's own logic and interpret things its own way.

The only way you could have 100% compatibility is if they ran an "emulator" of each other behind the scene for when it's a document in the competitor's format that gets opened and I'm sure you can understand why that's not happening...
