This is about the most recent version of LibreOffice on Windows 10. I can't speak for other versions.

My daughter worked hard on her social studies essay. I type things in for her because she’s a really bad typist, but she tells me what to write… but I didn’t remember to manually save her social studies essay yesterday, and for some reason the ThinkPad rebooted, LibreOffice crashed and we lost the whole thing... because autosave was not automatically on when I installed it.

No, recovery didn't work. We just got a blank file.

I rewrote it for her based on the information we had and what I remembered and tried to make it sound like what a 13-year-old would write because it was basically my fault and she did do the work. I did have her sit with me as I wrote it in case she didn’t like something I wrote, but it was sort of cheating. I'm okay with that cheating since I know she worked hard on it.

First, though, I went into the settings and turned on autosave.

I like LibreOffice, but why the hell is that not on automatically? Honestly, I don't really understand why someone wouldn't want their documents autosaved, but I'm pretty sure most people would want that.

This isn't fucking 1993. I shouldn't have to remember to save a document anymore and it shouldn't be lost forever because of it.

Like I said, I like LibreOffice. I don't really want to trust documents to Microsoft or Google. But this was really annoying.

I see.

Question 1: How is typing what she tells me to type doing the assignment for her?

Question 2: How bad is your 14-year-old's ADHD?

(And before someone says I didn't say anything about that, no one asked if she wasn't neurotypical. Which is a very neurotypical thing to assume.)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol. You child still needs to learn to do assignments themselves.

Whether that involves the necessary medication or not is on you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, this is the sort of neurotypical bigotry I've come to expect. And obviously I should medicate my child up to the gills so she can achieve your standard of normality.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude way to assume.

Your child has to learn to survive in the world and you are responsible for that. It's on you man.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Right. No one with ADHD ever survived in the world before we started medicating our children for having it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like I said, its on you. (I did say necessary, but it was not meant in a "you have to medicate your child stat because I say so manner", you can believe me or you can not, idgaf).

This has grown so beyond the scope of this post, and for that I apologize. I realize you came in here to rant about software and now feel like your parenting style has come under fire. I'll see myself out.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

amazingly, chemistry has given us the ability to have a better quality of life, even when our brains work differently.

when she's 25 and benefitting from meds, she may resent it if this was not an option you explored with her.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

We asked her, she said no. I'm not going to force her to take them.

My ADHD was/is pretty bad, but I learned to type just fine. Even learned on a manual typewriter.

Also lost a 10 page paper in high school because the computer crashed. Rewrote the paper during lunch and study hour because I had to turn it in that day. Learned to save frequently from that experience. Conveniently, deadlines help with ADHD concentration. It's one of the reasons ADHD people procrastinate. Once the pressure of the deadline gets bad enough we are usually able to focus on the task at hand.
