  • Excel wouldn’t stop converting sku numbers to date formats. IT guy was excited to share an “easy fix” for that with Open Office…

    When I saw his genuine excitement as he described Linux, plus the security it provided I realized, if I ran Linux I’d have the best support in the company. And I did.

    I eventually had to move on from Linux at work after 10yrs or so but it’s all I run at home.

    All because of Excel and those fucking date codes. Which yes, Open Office solved as advertised.

    And yes I know you don’t need Linux for that but it was a long time ago.

    I’m kinda surprised someone hasn’t done that yet, just as an “fuck you” to whichever country they are beefing with at the moment.

    Like buy a bunch of expensive real-estate, and get locals to live there as a flop house and piss off the neighborhood.

    I mean, I’m also not surprised but still.
