What was a LibreOffice developer doing using Microsoft stuff in the first place?

If you use Microsoft or Meta or any of the usual suspects, and they screw up or get hacked or behave badly, don't be all surprised and complain. It's what they do, and they don't care, and never listen. You know this.

Empty story with clickbait title. Wouldn’t expect any less from modern “journalists”

I am a newbie in LibreOffice, but I am wondering whether me chronicling my first experiences in it would be worth doing.

I think what we sorely lack is more people like Nick and Michael Horn making approachable tech news about this niche.

I understand that to some the idea itself of the tech news cycle, focused on its own navel all the time is not appealing, but I think that is exactly there that a channel like this could distinguish itself, showcasing OSS solutions having an impact on the public good, something the usual news outlets cannot afford to do since every second is lost revenue.

The only risk is being boring.

I think it would be worthwhile, and probably help some people.

I'm not as in the loop these days - are some Linux pundits still trying the "maybe MS isn't as bad as they used to be" line or have we learned again now?

To much of a power use to use LibreOffice exclusively, but it is amazing for what it is and Microsoft is absolute shit

We really need some consumer protections around emails.

Imagine if your landlord could just intercept your mail on the same way.

It's part of our identities.

We're living in the Wild-West of the internet
