LibreOffice 25.8: a Strategic Asset for Governments and Enterprises Focused on Digital Sovereignty and Privacy Overview In a time when geopolitical tensions, data localization laws, and compliance risks are reshaping the IT landscape, LibreOffice 25.
Is the irritating recovery mode thing fixed? Even though I have autosave turned if something happens to my computer, I have to click like six things to reopen OO and the document that was open.
@MylesRyden You can see what's fixed and changed here: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Re… – If there's something else you wish to see, you can submit an enhancement request at bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources, so your help in implementing changes would be very welcome. Thank you 😊
Leaning hard into "The cloud is other people's computers *and those computers are probably in countries that don't respect your privacy*" to kick the pins out from under O365.
@MarcusMASTO You didn't say what operating system you're using, so we can't really answer. But you can download for Linux, macOS and Windows from libreoffice.org/download/
Please, for the love of Haile Selassie, just get rid of the endlessly long list of uninstalled languages from the spell checker. I switch daily between Swedish and UK English, those are the only ones I usually want to see.
@mrundkvist Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. To get a change more quickly, you can consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer. Thank you ☺️👍
It's a bit frustrating that there isn't a tick box list in the language settings. Because I will never need a separate spelling dictionary for English (Belize) or English (Israel). Ever. I only need 2 of the 18 Englishes, I should be able to hide the other 16.
(And making regular users sign up for an account to submit bugs is one of FOSS culture's major problems. Just admit you don't want non-technical people to communicate with you.)
@herzleid @mrundkvist If it's not very hard, then can you help us to do it? We have extremely limited resources and a ton of requests, and very few people offering to help. They just say "it shouldn't be hard" but don't do anything to make it happen. We can't do everything I'm afraid – not without more help. And re: Bugzilla needing an account, that's to stop spam. We get huge spam attacks but again, have extremely limited resources so need logins. We're really doing all we can.
On one hand I get that, on the other I've actually tried participating in projects (a long time ago, not LO specifically) and I had a terrible experience every time (bc I don't code? bc I'm a woman? who knows?)
I do appreciate Libre Office immensely, but being encouraged to file bugs when I know they will likely be dismissed bc they're "formulated incorrectly" or considered duplicates etc etc, is grating. Why bother?
But sincerely, sorry you're stretched thin. Sorry I can't help.
Congratulations to the developers and everyone who supports this important project. LibreOffice is incredible after the last update, and I'm sure it will continue to amaze in future updates.

If it's getting a so-called "AI" integrated I hope there's an easy-to-find disable setting.

in reply to LibreOffice • • •Hey, do you have a tutorial or guide to check how to add a language dictionary and spell checker (besides the system language)?
I tried yesterday at Fedora, installed Portuguese dictionary but..
No way spell checker worked 😅

in reply to LibreOffice • • •Can someone tell me:
Is LibreOffice now more on the side of private privacy rights,
or
Governmental scrutiny?🤔

as far as I can see, USA is joining China in claiming access to everything on servers on US soil, meaning nothing is safe, that's kept on US ground
