An alternative to google docs

To paraphrase a recent post: google docs is pants as a writing tool.

I'm suggesting MS Word as an alternative. Yeah, I know, it's not perfect, but it is (IMO), better than google docs.

But I'm not just suggesting Word when I suggest Word. I'm suggesting a free Microsoft account, which gives you Word and OneDrive.

It only takes a minute or two and a free account gets you:

Word in the browser

A OneDrive with 5gb of storage - now, 5gb might not be much holistically but in terms of text based documents, it's decent. My entire 'Fic' folder is 2.11gb. That's everything I've ever written and all their drafts, wips and their multiple drafts, betaed fics, ideas, writing refs and guidance, archived drafts/fics, AND the 500+ fics I've downloaded as epubs from AO3).

Excel, Outlook, Teams, OneNote - basically the whole Microsoft365 suite - in the browser

I use Word exclusively, both for fic and for work (where I write extensively), and the online version does everything I need. It autosaves, has version control/reversion, and sharing (if that's what you're into), and you can seamlessly copy and paste from Word into AO3's rich text editor - no formatting adjustments required.

Anyway, it's something to think about. If you want to give it a try, the simplest way is to create a new OneDrive account, which will also give you everything else.

Go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/onedrive/online-cloud-storage (clickable link)

Click 'Create a free account'.

Click 'get a new email address' and follow the prompts (recommended but not required) or use an existing email address. If you create a new email address, don't actually use it for email. It's just the umbrella the account sits under.

That's it; you're done.

Pro-tip; give your ancient vampires memory issues so that when you inevitably fuck up your historical research you can attribute it to 'he done forgotted'

NINEPERCENT GROUP LIVE ON WEIBO (zzt wzy wlk)

theyve talked about getting linong, chengcheng, justin and zhangjing on too (no other two but i guess i was expecting that…)

they sang a bit of mack daddy and started talking about how they never actually recorded it (CRIMINAL)

linkai complimented zhengting’s ep <3 and his long hair LOL

zhengting is complaining about justin rejecting his live request NDJSINFUHSNJ jiazheng in 2024 bless (“hes sleeping”)

“happy 6 years” DEAD. IM DEAD.

“bro i miss you”

talking about the last day… eating hotpot and drinking…

“do you remember the house the nine of us lived in? i miss that time so much”

DOING THE NINE HANDSIGN BUT ZHENGTING IS LAGGING SO HES NOT DOING ANYTHING (OK HE DID IT)

every time they say “the nine of us” my heart feels like exploding

“if we’ve changed, it’s only that we’ve gotten older”

“we changed clothes together” (linkai to ziyi) NPC LORE IN 2024?

“hello i’m zhu-zheng-ting” THEY ARE STILL CLOWNING HIM. AFTER SIX YEARS

why is zhengting eating a cucumber like a banana

“if its still the three of us next year im leaving the group chat”

“the next time we meet we should do an offline live”

[ducky-the-mucky]

I feel like the software department in the Watchtower is small, supper small. Like, so small that anyone who doesn't interact with them thinks the hiring process is extremely rigorous, and you have to be extremely professional and above Player-level skills to even think about getting in, let alone work with the Entire Justice League's software. And no one ever sees them, so one one ever asks about them.

But that's not it. At all.

You see, they get new employees every couple of months, all who barely ever last more than a week.

Why, you ask? Because Batman and the other heroes (but mostly Batman and his stupid batclan) don't communicate with the department when adding to and updating the software. Despite the fact there is a department to do and help with that.

So yeah, only a special kind of person can deal with having to make uncommenting code (with no clear purpose!!!) mesh with other code, having to go through and find unfinished code to either finish or get rid of (stupid batman coding off of 1 hour of sleep from the past two days), and still having to do collabs and stuff with the other departments.

All while waiting on HR to do something about it because they've all already given multiple complaints about it and HR is just sitting there, unsure what to do because not only is it their employers that are the problem but ITS SPECIFICALLY BATMAN.

The Software Department is the middle child of the Watchtower.

Does anyone have any advice on purchasing a new laptop? Mine is getting up there in age and I should probably start thinking about a replacement while it still works very well.

[virmire]

I’m considering if I should get an iPad for my birthday in November so I’m not just tied to my computer for drawing digitally but idk if it’s better to get a 64 or 256 gb one?

[incirrata]

bought a new laptop for work/school reasons BUT it will also usher in a new gamer era here on incirrata.tumblr.com. soon I will understand the disco elysium posts. soon I will download stellaris. by "soon" I mean "when these games go on sale." uh I don't remember what else is on my steam wishlist. taking recommendations.

let me know if you want updates. so far i've ranked one sixth of the songs, but i already have a vague idea of how the rest is gonna go because i know all of these songs by heart and listen to them daily and i've watched glee more times than i care to admit :)

i am ranking every single glee song from worst to best. this is my rule book for it basically.

there Will be a video btw

It is not physically possible to murder an operating system but I really really want to right now.

Why is my Desktop backed up to OneDrive? Why is it apparently impossible to move anything on my Desktop to the computer hard drive without removing it from the Desktop? My computer should have a fucking desktop that isn't in the cloud and that I don't have to pay to store things on.

What the fuck, Windows 11?

breaking my silence. i really do not like the idea of the sister location warehouse being underneath the afton house
