Needs a [2013].

That’s my biggest gripe with audiobooks: good for fiction, not so good for learning.

Gemini 1.5 indeed is a lot of hit-and-miss. Also, the politically correct and medical info filtering is limiting its usefulness a lot, IMHO. I also miss that it’s not yet really as…

I invite everyone to have a look at compiling LibreOffice [0]. Doing a full compile, has been known to bring even the most powerful machines to their knees. They’ve employed a lot …

I’m convinced that the Erasmus programme (and it’s not so serious counterparts such as AEGEE and IAESTE) contribute to lasting peace in Europe by marrying people between nations.

It is much worse. The Berbel retains the insulation provided by the wall, when closed. This is nothing more than a fancy hole in the wall. Opening and closing, means you get the be…

Berbel has a unit that opens when using the unit and closes, when not in use. Quite ingenious, if you ask me. [1]: https://www.berbel.de/dunstabzuege/zubehoer/abluft-zubehoer/...

Did anyone try opening LibreOffice master in it? LO has a reputation as an IDE-killer, as it’s so large and complex.

If _one_ bad experience turns you into a lost customer, then this business model purely operates on the happy-path and hopes for the best. I am highly sceptical that the core promi…

Pseudo-engagement, optimised for easy and massive consumption, pushing you to compare yourself constantly. And all we have to protect ourselves, is our over-exerted self-control me…

This is indeed the correct reason. The app is much more usable. That’s why I switched to teddit.net. It’s much faster, resembles the old Reddit layout and supports dark mode.

I second PowerApps. There’s a to user-friendly tutorials out there and their programming model is based on concepts similar to Excel. It should be fairly easy to pick up for end us…

Very nice, indeed! Congrats for the release.

LO has its own platform abstraction layer (called SAL), which only supported pixel-precise layout of elements. That meant that the longest string in any of the supported languages …

7.0 switched to Skia for drawing. Maybe give it another shot and see if it’s faster now?

As an Austrian myself, I'm not at all surprised at their reaction. To them, their website is "just IT stuff" and they simply don't have a notion that it would involve any security.…

Absolutely! If you don't do this, you're just building the next unmaintainable distributed monolith.

Looks very nice, Bram!

Neat! I personally prefer the very quick vertical tab method: Ctrl+L. Quick and easy.

Unfortunately, this post is very US-specific and completely ignored PSD2 and the concept of Third Party Service Providers (e.g. Payconiq). The whole authentication scheme based on …

That already exists: it's called Collabora Office ( https://www.collaboraoffice.com/solutions/collabora-office/ ) and made by one of the largest contributing firms behind LO (Colla…

And it's not just start-ups. If you contribute to LibreOffice, a lot of what is being said in threads under release announcement can make you feel depresssed. I stopped reading the…
