Ok, så hur kan vi bli mer digitalt oberoende av USA? Här några tankar:
Mail, kalender (mm): Proton
X/Bluesky: Mastodon
AI: Mistral
Office: LibreOffice
Signal/WhatsApp: Olvid, Threema.
Knepigare:
Webbläsare: Vivaldi. Men helst vill jag att Mozilla flyttar Firefox-utvecklingen till Europa.
Sökmotor: Qwant (tycker inte riktigt den håller måttet än)
OS: Linux (men håller det som alternativ till MacOS/Windows?)
Slack mm: Nextcloud Talk kanske (ha…

Anyone else seeing gdb symbol lookup/completion being **SLOW** these days? Minutes for a tab complete looking in digikam or libreoffice. Admittedly they're both linked to all the worlds libraries, but still.

Sodale, jetzt habe ich #Libreoffice auf die Version 26.2 gebracht.
Wichtig - zuerst das Language Pack de installieren, danach die Offline-Hilfe. Die Offline-Hilfe benötigt die Pakete um sich installieren zu können.

I've been trying to use #LibreOffice as a replacement for #MSOffice but it's really not the same, lots of small things that do not work in the same way or that do not exist at all, whether in word/ writer or PowerPoint/ pages.
Is there another MSOffice-equivalent out there that is mor…

¿En serio, Microslop, tan difícil es incluir código fuente en un documento de texto? Algo que es trivial en Markdown, Org-Mode o LibreOffice en Microslop es una yinkana que no la supera ni Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo

LibreOffice, Nextcloud, OpenDesk: leistungsfähig, aber angeblich zu unbequem. Mein Eindruck: Viele Argumente gegen Open Source sind vor allem Ausreden. Warum Integration kein Hexenwerk ist und Komfort nicht alternativlos bei Microsoft liegen muss. #OpenSource #DigitaleSouveränität

One of our products uses a document prep tool that is available only on Windoz. It's a good tool, which is why I didn't take the effort to move stuff over to LibreOffice or something I can run on Linux.
Anyway, we have no Windows machines - but we have some M.2 NVME sticks that contain Windows 11 that we pulled from some new boxes that we then used for Linux or FreeBsd.
So I stuffed one of those M.2 sticks into a machine and fired up Windows 11.

LibreOffice teilt heftig aus:
Konkurrent OnlyOffice sei 'fake Open-Source'
The Document Foundation greift nach Microsoft nun auch OnlyOffice scharf an und warnt vor einem geschlossenen Ökosystem. Die Macher hinter LibreOffice bezeichnen den Konkurrenten als "falsches Open Source", das Nutzer in die Abhängigkeit treibt.

Frage: Ich nutze u.a. #LibreOffice auf macOS. Die aktuell Version ist auf einem etwas älteren Intel iMac (3,4 Ghz i7, 16 GB, SSD immerhin) inzwischen so langsam, dass ich schneller tippe, als die Buchstaben am Bildschirm auftauchen - und nein, ich bin keine besonders flinke und geübte Schreibkraft.
Hat jemand Vorschläge, was ich alternativ nutzen könnte?

When asking an LLM about an open source codebase it may be doing that based on previous stuff it learnt, not so much the code you just gave it; I'd asked Qwen3 to summarize some of #LibreOffice's code and it was surprisingly good - but then I noticed it could it on a fresh start without having given it the source. On one side, this means it's misleading about how well they can …

I tried to open a Word document in LibreOffice. I've now spent 5 minutes waiting for it to update itself. The updater regularly flashes new windows on the screen, fake progress bars, occasionally opens a web page. All interrupting me the whole time.
I just want to see a single page of text.
Update I finally got it to work by manually killing the updater process. Had to be fast: it'd only last a few seconds before dying and relaunching itself.

Things I somewhat dislike about #Fedora Linux:
Its inconsistent approach to shipping new major versions upstream released as regular updates.
New major versions of kernel, firefox, thunderbird, and kde are regularly shipped as regular updates, mesa often as well (except when it's not 🙄) – gnome, libreoffice and a few other things otoh are never updated.

I measured an original working Yamaha MAP Sensor (intake air pressure) to get the characteristic curve. It is the 1WS-82380-00-00, used in a huge number of bike models like MT/FZ 07, R7, Fazer FZ1 and many more.
If you decide to try a chinese copy I recommend to check the output voltage depending on the negative air pressure. My 7$ sensor from AliExpress is doing plain crap. Optically identical sensors might have complete different characteristics :yay:

Ein macOS-Terminalfenster mit dunklem Hintergrund und heller Schrift zeigt die Ausgabe eines automatisierten Update-Skripts. Zunächst wird ein Hinweis angezeigt, dass das libreoffice-language-pack nicht automatisch aktualisiert werden kann. Dann folgt um 12:08:01 ein Abschnitt „macOS Systemupdate", in dem gelb hervorgehoben gefragt wird, ob ein verfügbares System-Update installiert werden soll (Y für Ja, N für Nein). Die Command Line Tools für Xcode 26.3 werden heruntergeladen und installiert. …

So farewell then Microsoft Office.
I haven't used you really since the 90s.
From this distance: it seems like you just kept getting worse and more exploitative since then and trapped millions of people in abusive relationships with tech.
It made me laugh when you went monthly-payment subscription-only, and then laugh even more when suckers actually ponied up for that.
It's fun when people say they don't know how to use Libreoffice, even though Libre is more like the original MS Office (before it was shit) than Office 365 was.
I wish you fare well on your transition to your new identity as #microSlop #office #CoPiliot #ai #enshitification #poem
