For the first time in my life, I decided to use Google docs (on my school account) for an article I started yesterday, and today the Columbia login system is completely down, likely due to a cyber attack. Fitting punishment for my betraying Word and my local hard drive.

For those curious, I’ve had to take the Advertisement of @SpiralIdeas down as Discord isn’t handling having a lot of Threads in a Server very well. Pretty ****** honestly. I’m going to have to revisit Spiral Ideas later as either an actual website or a Google Docs Directory.

I’m tired of not being able to write bro. I’m boutta just do it on my phone- I feel like I’m letting everyone who reads my stuff down. So notes app is abt to come in handy ig!! 😭 (my phone is too old to be able to get google docs 💔)

i just came up with another markhyuck one shot idea someone needs to put the google docs server down

well now that im not getting bsd ig i can finish the light novels....you can take down my websites but never the google docs i stole!!

I don't know about u guys, but working with Google Docs only slows me down. A lot of features and shortcuts in the regular MS Word ain't there.

- incase you don’t understand ,let me break it down @SuccinctLabs built the “google Docs” of zero-knowledge tech,before, you had to write ZK circuits like coding in assembly language. Now, with SP1, it's like using a smooth, familiar interface that anyone can work with,without…

The website I write all my fic on (noveleasy- my employer blocks Google docs so I had to find somewhere else) has been down for a week and I literally have 100k words in there 😭😭😭😭 the owner tweeted today and was like “won’t be able to fix it for a couple days” pray for me😭

my microsoft 365 is not working rn and i have to write a paper before the day ends.... if i have to use google docs i'm going to scream i am a docs HATER DNI IF YOU THINK DOCS BETTER THAN WORD!!!!

We had an internet outage since like yesterday and I can’t continue any of my pending fics bcs they’re in google docs 😔

is google docs down oh my ******* *** no

Google Docs down my life is over

Ok I'm done complaining about ao3 being down I'm just gonna go write my own fic in Google Docs whatever

Gemini cursor in Google Docs is hands down the worst AI feature yet.

I can't do any writing my internet is not working properly and since I use Google docs I don't trust it to back up when it's going offline every 5 minutes.

What’s the deal with external links not working on mobile inside @googledocs? 403 Error not matter what the link is….@Google doc adding redirect gobbledygook to the link (on iPhone, Safari)

ao3 down for maintenance so i will just have to open up google docs i guess

the sheer chaos of the wifi going down on a new york to sf flight and all the faang pm’s frantically refresh google docs

Anyone else having problems with Google docs that are supposed to able to work offline, just, not? I'm assuming this is tied to AI bullshit but just had a short wifi outage here and couldn't do ANYTHING on the document I've worked on without connection in the past?

when ao3 is down so i have to go to my google docs and read my own unfinished fics instead
