It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!
#LibreOffice #foss #opensource #freesoftware I have a serious question. Will LibreOffice ever be a product with batteries included regarding grammar and spell check on a high level? I know that we have a very good spell checking, but I was wondering if there's ever something planned to have a really working grammar and style checking tool like languagetool out of the box.
The new major release provides many user interface and accessibility improvements, plus the usual interoperability features Berlin, 6 February 2025 – LibreOffice 25.
@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta10 has been released and is available for testing in the Play store (or in Obtainium if you prefer installing directly from GitHub)!
Apart from the usual localization and dependency updates, this version contains several improvements for embedded images and, if you are using Friendica, you will also be able to insert embedded images within your post body (as opposed to regular attachments). This can benefit those who want to create larger posts with several illustrations.
Let me know what you think about it and, as always, #livefasteattrash

Really? You had no problems with having debconf hosted in the Zionist state. You even refer to that illegal entity by the name "Israel". Does the Debian project have the same values as the Zionist state? I understand a free software project not wanting to be on a proprietary platform, but this is ridiculous.
🚀0 A.D. Alpha 27: "Agni" is here! 🔥 The final alpha of our free, open-source RTS, named after the Hindu god of fire. Play on Windows & macOS—no ads, no paywalls! Should be on Linux in the coming weeks.

The histogram says it all. First, rapid growth between 2011 and 2014 to 30 million downloads, despite the fierce hostility of the project created to kill LibreOffice.

Honestly, I find that whole debate depressing to no end. It's that kind if legislation that will ensure that commercial work on #FOSS projects will be something only corporate legal departments can wade through, pushing out individual or, you know, "natural person"
