Thanks to the @libreoffice Team. I was on #froscon19 last weekend and the representatives there pointed me to the right direction solving my problem concerning keyboard shortcuts! 👍
For everyone else: you can assign a keyboard shortcut for styles, but it you have to go to the specific section down the list. I wasn't aware of that, I just notices the shortcuts stopped working.

The Linux kernel is 38 million LOC. #curl is 170K. The kernel is 223 times bigger.
The Linux kernel ships 60 CVEs per week, 3100 per year.
curl ships on average 13 CVEs per year, 3100/223 = 14
== Roughly the same CVE/line of code ratio.
I'd really like to read a well researched article that sums up how Linux distros reacted to the massive influx of #Linux #kernel CVE that started ~half a year – both for their #LinuxKernel packages and their live-patching offerings.
But I guess that is an enormous amount of work that no media outlet in this world is willing to pay anyone for writing. 😕

But it prevents again the home window to be maximized on PCs with a (W)XGA screen (768p), unless I open a file first and go back to the home afterwards.
It was fixed in 24.2, what can I do (other than waiting for 25.2, or set my XFCE panels to auto-hide) to avoid that? Can I hide this big “LibreOffice Community” logo (in the advanced settings editor, perhaps?)?
After long years of maintaining the changelog, commit messages and release notes by hand, we have finally implemented a system where we use the merge request commit title and description as input to customized gitchangelog[1] and there’s only a single source of truth and that’s git. The current round of BIND 9 releases is the first one to use this new process.

Originally called NSFKeys, and originally made as an experiment during the Intel Macbook/Touch Bar/Boot Camp era, rewritten this month, the app is meant to make using a touch bar on Windows more accessible.
Maybe it could still be useful?
I have also updated Capbeeper, fixing the double tray menu open bug, featuring slight sound volume adjustments, and (thanks to TouchBarSpeak), the “Run as admin” feature/option, accessible from the systray menu.
I hope any of this is useful, if it sounds like so, feel free to check things out.

When you search for "identita občana" (Citizen Identity, ID for the Czech e-government), the first link #Google gives you (as an ad) is to a malicious website.
