LibreOffice now treats Bitcoin like any other currency preset. Your spreadsheets can finally be as volatile as your investment portfolio!

Glad to see this. I’ve been having trouble getting dark mode again with the update.

I just tried exporting a story I'm working on from #LibreOffice to an ePub file, and it worked beautifully. It used to be that you had to get a plug-in to do this, but now it's built right into the app. I even added metadata and some random image as a cover, just to see what would happen, and it worked perfectly.

I cannot figure out why more #writers don't use LibreOffice. Every single time I go to do something in it that I want to do for writing either fiction or nonfiction, it's way ahead of what you can do in Microsoft Word, and definitely way ahead of what you can do in Google Docs. Yeah you have to learn the app, but it's not like that's too difficult for what most writers need to get going.

Something my computer in 1989 could do that no modern OS today (AFAIK) does:

Convert any text from any font into an outline or drop-shadow. Of course, it was just pixel-twiddling trickery at that time, they were still bitmapped fonts back then. But it wouldn't be that hard today to do the same thing algorithmically on the vectors themselves. Also, Macintosh System 7 did the same thing, and those were vector fonts. I don't know if it was just applying the same bitmap algorithms to the bitmapped output of the font rendering, or if they had something fancier going on.

It's like modern tech isn't even trying. Or it's trying so hard to do incredibly stupid things like baking-in "AI."

I just checked on Mac OS 9, and all of the same text style transformation options were there, even with anti-aliasing and everything.

UPDATE: I am a very, very, very, very, very clever human being. [--__--] (#LibreOffice totally supports outline and shadow in regular text in Writer)

Ich werde mein altes Notebook mit Win11 LTSC Enterprise bespielen und dann meiner Schwester schenken. Angeblich soll die Software bis 2034 unterstützt werden. Mal sehen... Der Vorteil bei LTSC Enterprise ist auch, dass es klein und weitestgehend unverwanzt ist. Kein App Store. Nix. Da kommt Browser, PDF24 und natürlich #Libreoffice drauf. Irfanview und VLC. Mehr nicht. So sollte das System hoffentlich lange ohne Reparaturen auskommen. Ich bin nämlich zu weit entfernt, dass ich mal gerade eingreifen könnte. Deswegen fällt auch Linux Mint aus.

Good software needs good documentation. But how do we define "good" in this sense? And what does the future hold? Find out in episode 4 of the #LibreOffice Podcast: https://peertube.opencloud.lu/w/nMTL4VhSpKSLQsntK6youq #foss #OpenSource

Now I can *officially* voice my wish for #LibreOffice's Bugzilla to be upgraded

LibreOffice on Linux is the proof that you don’t need to sell your soul (or your data) to write a document. #LibreOffice #Linux #OpenSource

Wait you can attach an excel file to a powerpoint one?
#MicrosoftOffice
Let's see if either #OnlyOffice or #LibreOffice can also show and export that "fuckery"

LibreOffice's codebase is absolutely massive (~50M lines according to cloc?), and it very much got me beat the other day, when I "speedran" a scant 2 bugfixes in 7 hours.

So today, I'm going for a rematch! Let's see if better tools (rr, ctags) and better understanding of #LibreOffice code is going to be enough for me to get a bugfix in under 2 hours for #BugsDoneQuick! :joy:

Open Document Format – the native format of #LibreOffice – is built on XML. But how does XML help with interoperability? Find out on our blog: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07/11/the-role-of-xml-in-interoperability/ #foss #OpenSource #openstandards

Zabawne jak moja "Bieda" stała się modą

Używanie krity, bo nie stać mnie na Adobe animation i photoshopa

Używanie openoffice/libreoffice, bo nie stać mnie na worda

Oglądanie produkcji na pirackich stronach, bo nie mam konta na portalach streamingowych

Pobieranie pirackich programów, bo nie jestem bogata...

Dziś to stało się modą
