@vinnymac @FundMECFSResearch @apple_enthusiast agreed mostly… #apple UI ( #iOS #macOS) is easy, their hardware just works, their multi-device compatibility is super convenient, and their in-house productivity suite (iWork) would be great but for the fact that when you’re collaborating with other people and businesses, especially in Europe, since it doesn’t save or import/export #ODF #opendocumentformat, you just can’t use it.

@fartsparkles I use LiO. Have for years. Memory is t really the issue. It’s useless programs because of the idiocy of extreme walls garden ideology.

@fartsparkles @Zorsith @apple_enthusiast the name change is appropriate for both descriptive and international standards purposes, even if not compliant with nostalgia. Now if they’ed just make iWork ODF compatible for the same reasons so I could use it for actual work instead of it just taking up space on my devices.

@reddig33 tried export tests and too much is “lost in translation”, not as much lost exporting to docx but still not a complete translation. Using LibreOffice and Collabora with ODF and collaborating with MSO users will have to do as there are no problems there. iWork sadly isn’t all that useful as long as it remains closed.

@Ziggurat @phase @rpg “Junior high” is a school with US grades 7-9. “Middle school” is a school with US grades 6-8. School grade divisions have changed over the last 30 years in the US due to population changes mostly. Middle School is the more recent division of grades. Some schools are even going to an “international jr/sr high school” format of US grades 7-12 which is more akin to gymnasiums, “high schools”, in Austria and Germany.

@Emberleaf @Uniquitous I’m looking at #CWN #CitiesWithoutNumber to do the same thing.

@Dee @AccoSpoot @rpg and if you want more solidly old-school then #TheSystem is an option

@Dee @AccoSpoot @rpg #SW is a good d&d adjacent option between new- and old-school. If you’re looking a more contemporary aesthetic then #Lucky13 is an option.

@plazman30 @Tim_Eagon @rpg I’m waiting for the Empyrean edition of Space 1889: After.

@bluelander @copacetic @osr and there are settings, even old-school ones designed specifically to address that, #DarkSun then and #DragonKingsProject now.

@bluelander @copacetic @osr and don’t forget fees, taxes, tithes, and charity!
