Surprising no one. You can't even autosave files in Office software anymore unless you use OneDrive.

unfortunately the local storage technology just isn’t there yet. we have to rely on the magic of the cloud to handle complex things like auto saving files and running python interpreters

What does Lemmy think about emoji

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In general I think emojis add nonverbal context clues to conversations and in my experience are a valuable tool for conveying information quickly. I'm seeing them used in all but the most formal of cases in a work environment and I don't think that particular train is going to be stopping anytime soon.

That gives me a great idea to design emojis for corporate use. The ones that we have are unsuitable but like you said.. They add a layer of communication

I think blobmoji is best

Yeh that pisses me off. When I looked that up, I saw that on the Microsoft help forums their response was 'well, you never really had that feature locally anyway'.
