That's saying a lot.

Yet you still use inferior formats, and even advocate for them.

I am not advocating for formats.

You called profs unprofessional, basically.

I am a snob, I know.

PDFs are widely used for a reason

I know.

I use it widely as well.

not just because theyre bad and people like being annoyed

Just they don't.

When they are not.

Using docx is VERY incompetent.

And if they don't use it, profs don't need to make them. Even if it is just a one click.

Using docx is VERY incompetent.

Why?

IDK about the rest, they might know a lot, but regarding formats, nope.

Using docx is VERY incompetent.

Using pirated WIndows XP is incompetent as well.

I mean, I hate getting .docx or .doc just like any other guy

Don't share Microsoft Office documents: use open formats https://l-cafe.github.io/2017/03/21/don-t-share-microsoft-office-documents-use-open-formats.html

They can't modify work machines.

Office has a PDF export functionality, what's the problem?

Then I take that back.

I blame the superiors then.

Office has a PDF export functionality, what's the problem?

But this, indeed.

Govt is the superior.

doc and docx is mostly an internal format, not for sharing

Office has a PDF export functionality, what's the problem?

Problem is that is you have a task to make a PDF for students, you will press that button. If not, you won't.

doc and docx is mostly an internal format, not for sharing

Indeed.

Govt is the superior.

is the goverment forbidding them from using the PDF export?

is the goverment forbidding them from using the PDF export?

That isn't related to PDF.

That isn't related to PDF.

it is

I mean, I understand that when you're using your SW for 20 years then you won't change it

So, I need to ask prof to provide me a ePub?

No, you can use Epubator

it is

Blaming govt was related to bad software installed.

Blaming govt was related to bad software installed.

Will convert any pdf to epub

superiors? or because its bad?

They can.

Well readable for most too

They can.

let me restate, why do they not DO IT

let me restate, why do they not DO IT

Because nobody asks them for a PDF.

Why?

Why?

Because nobody here uses PDF.

Because nobody here uses PDF.

Fourth time. Irrelevant.

Because nobody here uses PDF.

does not mean it is bad

PDF is the default format for sharing.

youve been trying to state PDF is bad

ERROR: S client not available

I mean seriously, I had a course based on QNX but it was hard to get a VM and do the stuff at home so we asked to switch to Linux and the professor was like "okay, never thought about that"

And indeed, incompetence

youve been trying to state PDF is bad

Where the hell do you put that from?

PDF is the default format for sharing.

Default where?

In EU? In USA?

Not here at least.

Where the hell do you put that from?

Incompetence is too strong of a word for that, but seriously, can you try asking?

Incompetence is too strong of a word for that, but seriously, can you try asking?

I can and they would give me a PDF.

Default where?

In the whole world.

In the whole world.

Well, Siberia isn't a whole world.

youve been stating that .docx is superior to PDF and trying to make the PDF format look bad

just say that Office doesn't work for you and if they could publish PDFs that would be awesome

here, done

youve been stating that .docx is superior to PDF and trying to make the PDF format look bad

Never said that. Point at the exact place where I did.

Never said that. Point at the exact place where I did.

not stating it, but implying it

Never implyed that.

wrong

Again, point where i implyed that.

alright

Calibre is good

I think, five minutes is enough time to scroll through all that I wrote here.

Sorry if it looked like I love .doc/.docx and hate PDF.

I am neutral to .doc/.docx and like PDF.

If problem was in reading those tasks from a PC, I'd really just ask profs to give me a PDF.

Because .doc is better for majority of students.

MAjority doesn't agree with you.

Fuck off.

Have you ever tried to read a PDF on a 3" phone?

how do you read it comfortably

Like any other text.

PDF also right?
