# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"
I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.
The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.
If you have questions, please do ask!
@libreoffice @christianschwaegerl @hzulla when someone offers feedback about your UI they aren’t under any obligation to cite exact reasons for their dislike nor are they required to be accurate in their comparison.
The message is they don’t like it and they don’t feel it is modern. It is enough of a concern for them that they avoid using the software.
I’m not saying I agree or that you should do anything about it, but your…
I'm reading the comment by @christianschwaegerl and hearing "it has grey. Windows 9x had grey. Therefore the design is 90s".
Can't please everyone I guess. Keep up the good work guys!
@libreoffice @christianschwaegerl @hzulla Personally I find the LibreOffice interface refreshingly functional, after the persistent nightmare that is ribbon interfaces. ("Why use one click when you can force users to do it in three?")
FWIW, my 15yo much prefers it, too, so it's not just "what I was used to in the 90s" (or "before Office 2007 made everyone re-learn how to use MS Office from scratch", as the case may be).
@libreoffice @christianschwaegerl @hzulla Imagine choosing not to use a screwdriver or hammer because they don't look different than they did when last used a decade or more ago.
LibreOffice works. It has worked. It's what Microsoft has feared for two decades even if it doesn't have a glossy corporate-funded 2025 appearance.
Bonus: Libre Office isn't going to steal users' IP to train its LLM.
/choir-preaching
@libreoffice @christianschwaegerl @hzulla I grew up with the 90's Windows UI and have formative memories of using MS Office as a schoolkid in the early 2000's. A few years later the ribbon UI appeared, making me not find anything, while Windows has lost all semblance of the visual clarity it had in those days - I know enough about computers to have forgotten more than most will ever learn, yet I'm also blind to Windows 11's new context menu's copy/cut/paste icons.
LibreOffice intuitively works "the way office suites have worked all my life". I'm glad that when I need it, it hasn't gone and changed to follow some new (or resurgent old) design trend.
Careless redesign doesn't work for Windows, it doesn't work for MacOS, and it certainly doesn't work for for underfunded FOSS productivity tools used by millions of people daily. Change can be good and necessary, and I certainly tend to resist it at first, but change also needs a good justification. Constancy and stability over time is one of the best features for a tool to have.
And if you read this far, thank you so much for your work.
Oh neat! I see the notebookbar has gotten some TLC since I last tried it. Looking good! Gonna go ahead and turn it back on and give it another try.
Thanks for all your hard work!
To whom it may concern:
Someone fixed the accessibility of the torrent listview in QBitTorrent version 5.1.3.
I wish I could find out who did it so I could personally thank them.
This has made my day. In a world where updates are often measured by how much a11y they break, this has been a rare moment of joy and comfort.
Thank you.

It looks like #libreoffice #impress does not react to the forward and back buttons on my mouse at all. Would be very handy to be able to use that as a presenter though. Is there any way I can set this up easily? (And maybe a bug report to make it happen by default?)
@libreoffice is that broken just for me or a missing feature in general?

I'd never heard of this piece of software until someone filed a bug against Leap for our version being too old and not working there. Here's our description for the package:
"Gramps gives you the ability to record the many details of an individual's life as well as the complex relationships between various people, places and events. All of your research is kept organized, searchable and as precise as you need it to be."
There's software for that? Interesting.

Der Artikel lässt mich ratlos zurück.
Mit diesem gezeigten Verhalten, Mann bespuckt Frau weil sie ihm nicht so zu Willen sein möchte, wie er es will, geht es nicht nur um einen Tabubruch.
Es geht darum, dass wir feststellen müssen, dass die Welt immer frauenfeindlicher wird. Dass Männer, die garantiert der Incel oder Pick Up Artists Szene angehören nicht nur auf social Media sondern auch im Fernsehen immer präsenter werden.
Dagegen muss vorgegangen werden.

Re: Calls To #Boycott Amazon
I use #Amazon for both #groceries as well as things i need in my apt. each month. I'm #disabled and live on a fixed income. I also receive #EBT / #SNAP benefits to eat.
Where i live in a big city with sales tax, the places that are local cost a lot more than what i can get food and products for online. Amazon takes EBT/SNAP and delivers to my door which is also helpful.
I'm not sure if folks here realize that #boycotting something like #Amazon is a luxury some of us can't afford.
I am not pro-Amazon but i'm a disabled person on a fixed income trying to survive and eat each month.
My life is improved by being able to afford things i need obviously.
I wish it were different but it's not.

Is there a good, simple todo list app/service for recurring tasks? Something where we can mark each item as needing to be done daily/weekly/monthly and have it reset? Bonus points if we can just open an app/page on a tablet and keep it that way?
My partner is looking for something other than printed task lists to manage personal care attendants. We want to check "Empty laundry" one morning, then have it reset for the next morning's shift. Obviously more than that, but we also need it to be simple so it doesn't confuse the tens of new attendants coming through here every month.
