US is literally occupying oil fields in Syria as we speak.
I absolutely believe in U.S. malfeasance; but if there's all this oil seizure going on, where's the payoff?

Trump: "we have the oil" Otherwise this is a pretty meaningless debate, when we are talking about office software.
He meant in Texas.

This is all completely irrelevant. No office suite user gives a shit what the Library of Congress thinks about database formats, because spreadsheets are not databases, no matter how often you personally conflate the two. Furthermore, the LoC's job is archiving. Your links have "preservation" in the url for a reason, and "preservation" is not what people do with spreadsheets. To strive for relevance, explore https://…

No office suite user gives a shit what the Library of Congress thinks about database formats, because spreadsheets are not databases, no matter how often you personally conflate the two . I did not conflate database and dataset. I specifically described the two types. The Library of Congress specifically describes the two types. You decided that "others" think that database and da…
This will be my last response to you, since you seem to be ignoring actual points and veering into irrelevant pedantry, which is not particularly helpful to anyone. But because you keep structuring your posts with links in pursuit of a veneer of credibility, like some kind of reverse-Batesian mimicry, wherein something toxic might mimic something palatable in order to lure unsuspecting consumers, I will summarize for the benefit of our readers.
You asserted that "In almost all situations where one could use CSV" there would be a better choice, and suggested a database format. Aside from weasel words like "almost" making the statement inapplicable, the assertion itself is impracticable, for the reason I discussed, viz. in most situations where one is using CSV, one did not choose the format. Nothing you have said (or, I speculate, can say) contradicts this central point.
Your blathering about the Library of Congress is completely useless, since you appear to extract from a specific datum (the Library of Congress preservationists reporting no preferential experience with the format in relation to their collection) the irrelevant misinformation "The Library of Congress has 0 CSVs in its collections," which has a remarkable combination of qualities, i.e. not only does it have no bearing on the topic of this thread, it is also a lie, or at the very least a mistake borne of an inability or unwillingness to read the text you keep linking.
So in conclusion, nothing you have contributed to this discussion is of use to any office suite user while considering the ease of opening CSV files, and even if the information you have provided were of any utility value, it's not reliable. Congratulations on a perfect record, then, of not helping. I hope for the sake of those around you that your skills at identifying relevance and pursuing accuracy increase markedly and quickly.

"If you're not with me you're against me"?
If someone sees a smorgasbord of heinous crimes [0] and doesn't speak out against it then them are supporting it. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Russian_inva...
That's redefining "support" to mean something completely different. You'll get in a lot of pointless fights if you don't make it clear to people you're using an obscure definition.

OnlyOffice seems to be the only FOSS office suite that handles Microsoft Office documents correctly. When I open my Word docs in LibreOffice, they still look significantly different than in Word after all these years. In OnlyOffice they look exactly like in Word. So it replaced Word-in-Wine for me.
> When I open my Word docs in LibreOffice, they still look significantly different than in Word after all these years. Huh, I've not had that issue with the documents I've worked with in the best part of a decade. What is it that's different for you? Page layout, text wrapping/length, image support, table formatting? Something else? What platform are you using, and if you're not on Windows do you have the equivalent-…
Even a Times New Roman doc or one that bundles its fonts won't render right. It's pretty bad, actually - it was only really fixed by MS allowing saving as ODT.

2 major differences: - the Afghanistan invasion was an actual reaction to a direct attack, not a “you are close to joining an opponent alliance” - in the west people were free to criticize the invasion, while Russians have much to fear if they are anti-war. The first point is more moral, while both wars are ridiculous, they are different scale of ridiculous, but not important from business perspective. This is extrem…
When did Afghanistan attack the US? You realize that they did offer to extradite bin Ladin, right? Did Iraq attack the US too? Might as well believe made up Russian propaganda about the Donbass. Also Who cares if the people in the west were free to criticize it? It didn't stop the war, and it has absolutely nothing to do with embargoes and boycotts. Absolutely no one in Iraq cares that Americans still had their free…
> Absolutely no one in Iraq cares that Americans still had their free speech when they destroyed their country and set them back 30 years
Case in point is "doing business with American/Russian companies" not the evils of war, which are undisputable.
The "freedom" is a very important point when doing any kind of risk assessment of a vendor deal.
> You realize that they did offer to extradite bin Ladin, right?
I did not, thanks for the info.

Yes to be clear I agree that doing business with Russian citizens in russia itself is not something I would do. I was referring to Russian corporations that basically migrated away from Russia but still have a most Russian (by citizenship) staff.
Also, just to provide a source and details on the extradition offer, they offered to extradite him to a third country for trial which I think is more than reasonable, but the US said that there was no need for proof or process.

So essentially the US and the rest of the world razed a country to the ground because they wanted a man so badly that when the country offered to give that man a fair trial before a third neutral country, the US found that offensive and destroyed them? democracy much?

Yes it's honestly troubling. Until recently I completely believed that they didn't want to give up bin laden at all. Even then, it was unjustified imo to invade a country since I'm sure the US also refuses extradition sometimes.
But to hear that the Talibans were the reasonable or at least negotiating party here is insane.

yeah, what difference is that from blood thirsty tyrants who wish to destroy worlds ? genghis khan slaughtered a huge chunk of human population because he was insulted or something stupid silly. isn't this the same thing?
