I haven't used Windows nor Office for so long I have no idea what half of those icons are for. Word stopped being great around 2007 when the ribbon was introduced. Before then, it had an amazing UI, the right amount of features and allowed you to do your work. N? T? Turquoise P?

Now, wow. It blows my mind people put up with all that.

Lucky you, you don't have to deal with the fucking T.

A fellow fan of office 2003! The ribbon was a terrible change and it has only gone downhill from there.

MS used to be at the forefront of UI, but now? You may be interested in: https://github.com/pi0/clippyjs

The web version is unbelievably shit.

I've watched a millennial uni student dick about with his laptop trying to find where tf his files are, not knowing the difference between the cloud and his local computer. University level.

I think all web software is unbelievably shit. The web is for porn, not software.

That feeling you get when the locks are changed.

Publisher is on the chopping block too.

These icons are all changing a little anyway.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

Huh. I used publisher to make shitty websites on windows xp.

[–] icosahedron@ttrpg.network 4 points 3 weeks ago

how lovely. i've always hated corners

I blame people for publisher failing though. People complain left and right that images and different fonts don't work in word .. when literally it wasn't built for that. Publisher is where people should go for flyers, booklets, etc. but people are stupid with computers and would rather hammer in a screw with intense force than take the screwdriver that is sitting right there.

Now we have an incredibly bloated word that tries to do all of that, while publisher is being killed off

Thanks, I hate it.

This is probably better and clearer than whatever they might do lol

the other 'p' is publisher? they've pulled the plug on that one too. will literally get yanked from 365 subscribers in october 2026.

if you want to ensure you have this application (i have a number of clients that rely on it) long-term, you need to buy a perpetual license for an office edition that includes it.

I was trying to get to my SharePoint but it wanted me to chat. I don't want to talk to anyone, I want my files!!!
