Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.

Termín realizace zatím není určen ale velmi jej může také ovlivnit váš názor v komentářích.
Aplikace bude jak je mým dobrým zvykem zdarma a #OpenSource.

I've been working on a thing for a few weeks, and I'm hoping there are #Language / #FileFormat / #Markdown nerds and experts on Mastodon who can provide some input and sanity-check.
I looked for an existing markdown extension file format that would allow me to write a document in multiple languages, and I couldn't find anything that fit the bill.
So, I decided to create my own. 🤷♂️

I won a contest @libreoffice held, and I got all this KILLER LibreOffice swag from them.
I've used LibreOffice for so many years, from back in the mid 2000s when it was OpenOffice. It's better than Microsoft Office. It's totally free and open source, and you don't have to be logged in like you do now with Office.
Try it out if you haven't, you won't regret it.
