Slipping off her heels and leafing through a good book in the library was Lacy's idea of heaven, a real pleasure.
In fact, it was how she met The Librarian. The Librarian was an older woman with a keen eye for pretty feet and a shy smile. It almost felt like fate.
And, as Lacy found out later, she also had a thing for good girls who do exactly as they're told and are eager to please..
Seems there were more pleasures to discovered in that quiet, old library.

I switched to LibreOffice years ago and never looked back.
I understood that many developers had moved to LibreOffice, and OpenOffice had since stalled?
In terms of accessibility, LibreOffice continues to improve their export-to-PDF engine. They can now generate a PDF that is often pretty much compliant with PDF/UA.
Though I still use Microsoft Office for client work.
I'm curious to try OnlyOffice. I wonder how it compares?
You really don't want to be using OpenOffice, there is no actual work being done on it.
Check out Brodie Robertson's video on the topic, that points out most of the code commits going to OpenOffice are literally empty/useless changes just to be able to technically say there are making updates:

Taking a break from the ... everything of everything ... to try my hand at an updated edition of *Calculus Made Easy*. Fortunately, there was a LaTeX transcription at @gutenberg_org, which I grabbed a while ago. (Their website has changed, so I'm no longer sure how to get the auxiliary files.) I've made one pass through for outdated terminology and notation:
sunclipse.org/wp-content/downl…
Next will be updating the examples that use pounds-shillings-pence currency.
... Here is my de-archaized version of *Calculus Made Easy*, with the shillings and the obsolete names for things we now know to be polonium isotopes all fixed up:

And here is how the LaTeX stands at the moment:

in the #curl project, we have already done more commits in 2023 than any single previous year since 2014. If we manage 152 more commits this year, 2023 will become the most-commits year since 2004, which remains our top year with 2102 commits in a single year.

Fun fact: The XDG desktop portal for GNOME mobile is not adaptive, despite Nautilus being Adaptive (Nautilus is still not yet perfect on mobile but it's getting there)
#xdg #linux #linuxmobile #gnome
@vixalientoots the GTK portal uses GTK3; the GNOME portal uses GTK4. That's the difference.
You cannot implement GtkFileChooserDialog inside GTK using libadwaita, because libadwaita depends on GTK.
The only way to do that would be for the GNOME portal to implement a whole new file selection dialog living in the portal itself.
@ebassi @vixalientoots Thank you for explaining!
> If we wanted them in GTK4 we would have required breaking API twice, by now.
Would adding adaptive components besides the existing ones be considered an API break? I agree it's probably the dirty way to go at it, but it would at least allow edge cases like non-GNOME software and code depended on by Libadwaita to have standardized adaptive components, although "we still have no precise idea what “adaptive” means" still remains.

I’ve now been using it for about two months and I am here to tell you that it is, in principle, what we should want the internet to be. If you have been remotely interested in Mastodon but had reservations about joining because you thought it would be difficult, confusing, or otherwise annoying, it is not.
Here is how you make a #Mastodon account: You go to this website. You agree to not share #disinformation or be an asshole. You select a username and password. Then, you have a Mastodon account.

I wrote about my first two months on Mastodon. I was a Mastodon hater because I thought it would be weird, complicated, or dead. It's been none of those things.I'm ashamed I didn't join earlier and I'm ashamed I haven't been telling people to join it, because it's a version of the internet and social media I've long advocated for with my reporting: decentralized, portable, user controlled, not corporate:

Mastodon Is the Good One
Mastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn't hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?Jason Koebler (404 Media)
So, Mastodon:
1. Not difficult to sign up for
2. Not difficult to use
3. Has an app like every other social media network
4. Not owned by world’s richest man
5. Not owned by a company whose main platform has been credibly accused of facilitating genocide by the United Nations
6. Not funded by the guy who made the last place, which sold itself to the world’s richest man
7. Doesn’t have a crypto thing going on
8. Free and open source
9. Administered by a crowdfunded nonprofit
10. Decentralized, portable, and interoperable
I’m writing this because it has been weird to watch some journalists and people who are fully aware of Facebook’s catastrophic history with things like disinformation,

@marcan 's critique of the Linux development process is spot on. I was lucky enough to interact with a maintainer who just accepted my patch, but the toxic culture was very apparent when I was trying to figure out what to do.
Here are some quotes from kernelnewbies.org/, a website that is referenced in several places in the Linux kernel sources:
"GettingFlamed: Oh no! The kernel developers said bad things about me, my code and my cat! What do I do now? "
Of course, there is no debugger for the kernel, because Linus thinks debuggers are bad, and has even said that kernel dev *should* be hard.
Apparently, if you bang your head against the wall for a week trying to figure out where the problem is, you will somehow get a better understanding of the problem and write less buggy code. You shouldn't want to have insight into what the code is doing and the current state of the machine, because that's where the bugs come from.
Linux is 30 years old. Linus is 53. He's not getting any younger.
At this point, everyone should be on red alert. Everyone should be thinking about how to improve the development process so that there's an influx of new developers. So that the kernel doesn't die when the old guard can't or won't develop it anymore.

I wrote a blog post about Privacy Browser and password manager integration.
@no_exit That's true. We need to bring the internet lore on this subject up to date so websites stop doing ineffective things like that. Similar to how we are finally convincing everyone that forcing users to change their passwords every three months is a security negative.
In the meantime, it isn’t too difficult to add one number and one special character to a password in a way that is still easy to remember.

“The folks at Brave Browser aren't new to controversies. Back in June 2020, an eagle-eyed user pointed out that the browser would autofill URLs to crypto wallet sites Binance, Coinbase, Ledger, and Trezor with Brave's own affiliate links, thus earning a cut for new registrations made using the URL. However, the backlash that followed eventually led to the company pulling back from this scheme.”
