Did they conspire to kill public transit ? Did big tobacco conspire to falsify health studies ? Did the agro industry conspire to make fat the big bad ? Does the bear shit in the woods ?

Fair, markdown, git and pandoc could work but, it might be too big of a jump for someone used to Word

Is Word mandatory or is Word compatible good enough ?

Because LibreOffice is pretty good, you could even push it further with pandoc, inputting markdown and outputting word documents.

Otherwise, as others suggested, Wine with an older Office version should do the trick

Encrypted from your phone to Meta, then from Meta to your contacts!

Yeah, sometimes bluetooth keyboards require you to enter the PIN pairing code after connecting to your computer. You should refer to the keyboard’s manual, sometimes it’s not super obvious that it’s waiting for input.

It’s the de facto standard for many reasons, none of them being individuals’ choices. Microsoft paid and pushed for Windows to become the default OS on pretty much all OEM hardware, they lobbied super hard to push people into using Office, they gave massive discounts on licences for corporations, big and small companies.

It has nothing to do with individual choices, it created the problem you mentioned in your comment though. People just became complacent and ignorant because of that, not the other way around.

Definitely not beginner friendly. Yunohost is great for beginners.

Colour me surprised!

I haven’t done this in a while, but I think that’s the correct procedure: https://utho.com/docs/linux/debian/how-to-reset-debian-root-password/

If it’s your user or root’s password and you have physical access, you can boot in rescue and change passwords from there

Yes and it’s amazing, but it’s not a fix all solution. It helps with focus, executive dysfunction and fatigue, but psychological and psychiatric support is really necessary.

Everything is important but I don’t care because I can’t prioritise!

Hard and soft links have existed on NTFS for decades at this point

I don’t know if you feel comfortable with that, but I am pretty open when it comes to my diagnosis.

If I’m asked something like this, I’m usually straight forward about my coping mechanisms.
I have autistic traits and I wear earplugs because I’m very sensitive to noise or wear sunglasses because I can’t handle the light right now, etc.

Most of the time it’s a “oh okay, makes sense” kind of answer, sometimes I get asked more question about it.

That’s why I always have ear plugs and sunglasses with me. You never know!

Preferably in an easy, maintainable way. Like markdown in a git repo.

Pretty much!
