With a whole bunch of folks leaving MS Word and similar as of late, seems like the right time to post this again, but I put together a little resource to help explain *why* it's so important to ditch Word and similar.
[edit: I'm aware of some readability issues on some systems, and am working to fix. See note below.]

(If "consider before printing this e-mail" is a thing, avoiding carbon-chugging LLMs has to be at *least* as important.)

This is more true than I care to admit.

in reply to Cassandra is only carbon now • • •Thanks to everyone who's pointed out that the page is very difficult to read on some systems; I have not had that happen on any of the laptops and/or phones that I have access to, so I wasn't able to notice that earlier, and I apologize for the accessibility issues that creates.
I'm not, unfortunately, a professional webdev, and have found it a little challenging to make a plain HTML page that works everywhere.
Someone in DMs very kindly suggested a fix, and I'll look at applying that ASAP.

in reply to Cassandra is only carbon now • • •I *think* it should be fixed? On my laptop and phone, it looks identical to how it used to, but it now doesn't fix the zoom level in CSS, such that hopefully it should work well in more browsers and on more devices.
Thanks again to everyone who let me know about the problem, and for the kind person who suggested a fix in DMs.
