So... we supposed to be rooting for Homelander now?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 18 hours ago

For real. I really hate how all the internet has just decided to meme with homelander like he is a good guy. Any meme I see with him I just assume some sort of malevolence behind it because he is so fucking evil.

No it's just saying libre office kills babies

Is that how it loads so fast?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No, the babies are necessary to parse the .doc format.

I have a coworker that regularly sends *.xls files. They always function fine, so I really have no reason to complain.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

xls files are blocked in our company because they can contain potentially harmful macros

No, it's bloated as shit so it uses techniques from 2000s java to keep a good portion of it in memory at all times from boot to shutdown.

Try loading a portable version of libre office (ie if you have admin rights issues). It's a solid ten second cold load on a 2 year old system.

It's not like Solider Boy is great either lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

No, certainly not. I'm just pointing out that with context this meme template means something very different to what it says on the surface.

Unless OP's point is that LibreOffice is more functional but much, much worse for society while there are better options just off-screen, in which case fair enough and well played.

I wouldn't over think it. It's just about the line used. The same way people use the Spider-Man template where he sees clearly with his glasses even though in the scene he sees better without them.

I feel like a meme academic lmao. "Well, yes, but the colloquial usage of templates often aren't a one-to-one with what's being shown, in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man,"

I'd hoped my last line would convey I was being more light-hearted than pedantic.

[–] JackbyDev 1 points 16 hours ago

I'd hoped my last paragraph would convey the same back.
