I never really considered WordPad a word processor.
The more you know.
For the first time in 40 years, Windows will ship without built-in word processor https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/microsoft-is-killing-wordpad-windows-28-year-old-built-in-word-processor/

I have Office & need at least 1TB & easy desktop/ mobile access like OneDrive & I recently started using GoogleDocs & find the default heading/ chapters/ contents thing really stimming, but then I
heard about all the 'AI' shit & I am looking for alternatives, but the sheer number & similar problems is A LOT

Just because we call a software program #AI should that make a difference.
How fancy does the #wordProcessor have to be before the #corp is excused?

171 followers · 2071 posts · Server twit.socialIs there any research showing the damage done to typography / page layout / etc. due to people becoming used to the defaults of MS Word and other word processors?
I feel like bad page layout (etc.) is just accepted as the norm because that's what everyone sees and creates everyday.
Compare #WordProcessor output with #TexLaTeX output and the difference is clear, yet seems few people appreciate that. Crappy is "good enough".

Dear #Unicode Consortium, OS vendors, and #WordProcessor developers.
Fix the #ellipsis situation. #AP styling demands ... (three dots in a row) and #Chicago (#CMOS) . . . (three dots spaced out, but still a single character). Most narrative writers (fiction, memoir, etc.) standardize on Chicago styling.
A character exists to support the AP styled ellipsis. But for Chicago we have to type [dot] [non-breaking space] [dot] [non-breaking space] [dot]. This. Sucks. FIX IT!

@teledyn I attempted to answer your question using 21st century #Wordprocessing software. It resulted in a #Dadaist #CollagePoem #ProsePoem and #VisualPoetry. #Vispo #MastoArt #DigitalArt #AsemicArt #DeconstructedText #AsemicText #Dada #Dadaism #WordProcessor #MassMedia I guess it is how you use the software.

It's all in #MSWord, but what an awful system that is: too much time fiddling with how it looks, distracting from the text. If only we could use LaTeX or some other text-based system that separates form and content.
