#Word Add-on development

[i4technolab]

DOT NET Core is an amazing framework that gives developers a versatile and efficient environment for their Word Add-ins development . It includes the Office.js library, which is a set of JavaScript APIs designed specifically for the development of Office Add-ins. These APIs may be used in conjunction with .NET Core to create cross-platform compatible Add-ins operated on various platforms including Windows, macOS, and web browsers.

.NET Core allows developers to leverage powerful tools and pre-built libraries to create robust and scalable add-ons for Excel, Outlook, Word, and other O365 platforms. Moreover, they can also be integrated with other Microsoft products and services, such as Azure and Microsoft 365 platforms.

Hate it when j&h adaptations give Jekyll a female love interest, like bitch, he HAS a love interest who is introduced on the first page, and his name is MR UTTERSON THE LAWYER.

Omg I do not use tampons but now every time I get my period I have to think of that post and how mortifying of a situation that would be. Thaumo and Nalis are with me in the bathroom in spirit and nothing can make them leave 😭😭😭

I’m glad the tampon ask is haunting not only me but also those who follow me 😭🤝

i think i wouldn’t hate disco elysium’s collage mode nearly as much if it weren’t for 1) the way that it was marketed in such a tasteless, soulless manner, let alone the fact that it was a last ditch distraction from a dead on its feet studio piloted by dumbass thieving execs and released on the day of the court declaration, and 2) those dumbass fucking stickers

like if it had been included with the base game from the start and had been titled something a bit more tasteful and in-line with how i would have liked the feature to be marketed as— something like “exploration mode”, something that perhaps could only be unlocked after completing the game for the first time, AND didn’t have those stupid as hell visually and tonally incongruent with the artstyle stickers, i would have applauded it as a nice little bonus for being able to study and appreciate the 3d models and environments for reference.

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u

being in a fandom with source material in the late 1800s/early 1900s will completely desensitize you to the word “gay” as a synonym for happy, but the tradeoff is that you’ll develop a reaction to the word “inverted” instead

*crying desperately*

I have a new fanfic idea...

*weeps inconsolably*

It looks like a longfic

the way that people who like tommy have decided to completely disregard other queer people's opinions in favor of a fictional character is crazy. you're entitled to your own opinion on tommy but to call other queer individuals straight, homophobic and puritanical for not liking a character, or even a very ill-timed joke, based not only on the story but their own experiences, is not only disrespectful but truly detrimental to the community. but no good going guys obviously you're right and everyone has to like tommy all the time because he's gay. thanks for that one.

might as well throw in some pingxie thoughts while i’m at it

i have. many things to say about pingxie. but on the subject of reducing relationships to one dimensional tropes specifically, it does them just as much of a disservice.

my favorite variation of pingxie is in the books (very shocking i know, although that’s technically the original them and not a variation), and by comparison to what’s shown in the dramas (which are fun and self-indulgent don’t get me wrong), the books are the slowest of slow burns. never forget we see everything in them from wu xie’s pov exclusively (at least the main entries), so we can only infer xiaoge’s own growth and development from what wu xie sees of it, but it very much exists.

wu xie has a complicated opinion of xiaoge in the earlier books, mostly because he doesn’t quite know what to make of this man who looks younger than he is and completely blows him off on their first meeting (blows everyone off in fact) much to his displeasure, which leads to the initially derogatory nickname ‘menyouping’, and yet is also vastly competent and knowledgeable. he’s cold and indifferent, yet wu xie feels safe around him and trusts him more than he likely should from the get go, mostly because wu xie’s good at reading people’s intentions and character on an instinctive level he doesn’t always manage to rationalize early on. he’s fascinated and would like to know him better, but also finds him deeply unfathomable, even incomprehensible.

and then you have xiaoge, who it merits saying, is repeatedly described as largely indifferent to most things (and he genuinely is), doing what he deems necessary but otherwise not bothering to involve himself with other people or social niceties. this is a man who spends his time off to the side sleeping or contemplating the sky, and yet in the space of four books he goes from not giving two shts about wu xie (or more than he would the average person) to voluntarily interacting with him, siding with him in quiet ways, helping him through unspoken little acts all the way up until a turning point wherein he first tries to keep his distance from wu xie en route to tamutuo in an effort to keep him from getting further involved than he already is in dangerous things he has no concept of, except by then he’s shown enough uncharacteristic interest in wu xie that wu xie notices he's being cold and distant. this all culminates in the infamous moment where xiaoge eventually lets himself act on thoughts he’s likely never fully analyzed himself, let alone shared with another person, leading to the “if i disappeared no one would notice” moment. 

and from there all the way until post ten years later and into things like yucun biji, the reality is that pingxie were never the serious immortal and the dorky clumsy mortal boy he adopts, nor are they the vulnerable strong one and the eventual protector, or any other trope variation really. pingxie are two people who at the start stand on opposite sides of a line neither of them were ever meant to cross, and to all intents and purposes should never have met for how very different the worlds they come from are. they’re people that circumstance threw together who chose to stay together, and keep choosing each other. they don’t need each other to exist, and could have gone their separate ways had they wanted to, but the importance of their relationship lies in that they stay together by active choice, and that in doing so, they meet in the middle.

wu xie matures and comes to understand a number of things through hardship while xiaoge is behind the gate that untether him just enough from the world that xiaoge isn’t quite so unfathomable anymore, while xiaoge comes down from his imposed pedestal just enough that he tethers himself to wu xie (and pangzi) and learns to live rather than exist

neither of them became a different person for the other, and the core of their relationship (and the beauty of it) is in the harmony and understanding they eventually achieve. reducing all of that to archetypes is honestly a little tragic

what really haunts me about trend of replacing actual human-made art with AI art is that 2 years ago, just prior to all of these AI generation apps, i took a cognitive science class which had a whole unit on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and we had an in-class debate on whether AI art was art or not. and i know for a fact that many students made art and had aspirations to work in creative fields (me included) and when we were discussing where AI art would go in the future not a single person out of the 30 people there suggested there would be mass attempts for industries to mechanize art or replace human artists. because to a group of people who a) knows how artificial "intelligence" actually works and b) generally knows how art is made (whether it's writing or painting or acting or singing or whatever) it's just INSANE that there could be any attempt to conflate the two.

and maybe it's telling of our naivety that none of us (professional researchers included) considered that so many people don't really know how AI works or how art is made or that the majority of corporations just sincerely don't care about human-made art and only care about money. but it's also telling how quickly we went from funny chatbots and indecipherable abstract shapes a computer put together to full on professional projects using generated images based off of stolen work rather than paying an artist.
