The question is: is LibreOfrice now as dead as LibreOffice is? How significant are the contributions by Collabora?

If you have an old phone or a tablet at home, you can even skip the server step since you already have an always online, low energy consumption device running anyway.

The term open source has lost its original meaning for some time now.

According to the article all of them.

That would be an understatement since all services claim your data is safe even in that case which is not true.

That would just not bring in enough. Remember that this is their last resort to prevent collapse.

Win11 already is, see the latest few months of “security updates” breaking basic operation system functions.

LM Studio in combination with Kilo Code for IDE integration works pretty nicely locally. Here is a good video covering the basics to get you going: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp5EwOogWEw

With few new features and heavy focus on code base cleanup and feature deprecation, it became obvious to many that Oracle had decided to just keep MySQL barely alive, and put all new relevant features (e.g. vector search) into Heatwave, Oracle’s closed-source and cloud-only service for MySQL customers.

In case anyone was wondering what is happening

I’m honestly baffled. These are two companies that are clearly past their best days, largely because of a string of controversial decisions in recent years that have pushed many users toward alternatives that feel more reasonable and do not attempt to re-educate users’ behavior.

On point 👌

You don’t need a cert authority to self-sign. You can do it once and be good to go.

Who in their right mind would channel all his employee email through Google? That shit gets scraped the hell out off.

Impressive how management can blindly ignore their own core pricipals.

Clever, so you have to agree to the terms either way.

That’s why tools like keepass allow you to require more than just a password to decrypt.

It goes to show: developers should make sure they don’t make their livelihood dependent on access to Google services.

Oh the great technology god will help us. We will have so much reduction, you cannot imagine! We have no idea how but surely throwing money at it will get things done. Trust us!

Yup thanks for the heads-up!

Yup piper is a good option. install:

• extra/speech-dispatcher
• aur/piper-tts-bin
• aur/piper-voices-common
• aur/piper-voices-…-…

Then configure speech-dispatcher according to arch wiki and enjoy TTS via command line spd-say or in firefox directly (switch to reading mode for a website).

It differs between software vendors and versions. For example, if you’re using a recent version of gnupg, your key is most likely stored using openpgp-s2k3-ocb-aes. Use that as a starting point to find more information on how good the protection is. I personally would rate it a fair bit lower compared to the key derivation methods used in keepass which focus more on brute force resistance.
