    the correct version of libreoffice to use now is an old one it&#39;s remarkably stable software and the ODF format is fine too dunno when the slop started showing up. but for now run 25.08 I expect, that was the last version before TDF went really fuckin weird

    i guessed right, this is the fucker who claims credit for making Mastodon 5.0 literally unusable it&#39;s for accessibility, you see you might remember scott from his ardent efforts to get people not to be so *mean* to AI bros on masto, and also to push AI for the KDE desktop at Akademy, featuring a slide of Omarchy https://web.archive.org/web/20261020193625/https://social.coop/@scottjenson/117473614309131678

    I tried listening to the complete works of Kate Bush (which i have here) and got as far as Experiment IV before realising that actually, a few singles aside, I don&#39;t like Kate Bush&#39;s songs very much the best Kate Bush song is &quot;Something Good&quot;
