reason to lose ten minutes to stupid computer shit: libreoffice appears to default to UTF-7 (sic) when importing CSV files
why in the ever living fuck would you want to use UTF-7. ever. at any point in your life

The person in charge for the institutional webpages informed me last week that there’s something strange when opening the CSV file in Excel where registration information from the event shop is stored. Veeeeery strange symbols in words probably containing umlauts, etc. But, I should not worry about it, they got a super helpful tip from—check notes—ChatGPT, one has to do this and that so to make this string appear: “UTF-8”. Fun thing, but it solves the issue
And now I feel veeeery old…
