# Microsoft is making Word automatically save new documents to OneDrive by default
LibreOffice Writer doesn't.
And it is free.
And really rather good.

@neil OneDrive..
@neil Time to donate to LibreOffice.
MS Word was already getting too aggressive about saving to the cloud which is the main reason I stopped using it.
@neil LibreOffice > Nacho Libre
@neil I've been a Libre Office fan for years!
@neil You know, markdown is pretty good as a tool that is low effort. It can be easily integrated with AI workflows, and it can be rendered to PDF.
@neil Stop using Notepad as well for the same reason.
Akelpad and Notepad++ are far better options.
@neil Ditched Windows in 2012, never looked back.
@neil I get SO weary of constantly fighting tech to just make my own documents, etc. Fuck their goddamn clouds.
@neil 100% true. If LibreOffice just had a proper ribbon menu! 😅
@neil Libre Office ROCKS

@neil @girlonthenet I'm strongly considering ditching Excel for its LibreOffice equivalent 🙂.
Does it support defining a range of cells as a table (not just a named range, a table which expands as new rows are added and which allows for referencing the table's column headers by name)? I use this quite a lot in Excel so would miss it if not.
@neil The best feature of LibreOffice writer is not having support for OneDrive
@neil And you do not have to worry about what. weaselly move Microsoft will do next.
@neil any advice to deal with pdf document annotation, editing and signing? That’s the shortfall i haven’t yet worked out for my Linux transition. #Linux #pdf
