Some middle-aged guy on the Internet. Seen a lot of it, occasionally regurgitating it, trying to be amusing and informative.
Lurked Digg until v4. Commented on Reddit (same username) until it went full Musk.
Was on kbin.social (dying/dead) and kbin.run (mysteriously vanished). Now here on fedia.io.
Really hoping he hasn’t brought the jinx with him.

This is a call for those people who are missing a feature that they absolutely must have in LibreOffice, to 1) check whether it has been added since they last looked (when was that, again?) and 2) to put in a feature request if it isn’t there.
I’m shocked. Who would have thought?!
What’s the alternative? It would have to be something that wouldn’t work if the user was unconscious and that offered plausible deniability if they were awake and being coerced.
What, other than a password, offers that?
Relatedly, I don’t even know most of my passwords these days. I use a password manager (one that doesn’t require internet access) that generated random strings. I only ever see them if I accidentally paste them into the wrong field.
Nothing legal, no.
That’s what they’re aiming for, yes.
They want to know where everyone is and what every person is doing at every possible moment of every day, be that in public or on the Internet. They are paranoid and know that their entire system is in danger of collapse with the common man gaining control over the rich and powerful.
Thus they resort to extreme control of the commoners to ensure that won’t happen.
Child protection and anti-pornography stances are perfect excuses because they’re very difficult to argue against.
The article makes no mention of his religion. And even if we were to stereotype purely on nationality, Muslim would be the wrong conclusion.
I mean, he could be, but his religion has f–k all to do with the fact he’s a pervert willing to take advantage of a weaker individual.
I can think of a certain President who’s in that club and people seem to love him for it. They should deport him.
I seem to remember a guy on Instagram or TikTok being called out for the same thing. He got really into wearing make-up and female-associated dress ostensibly as a means to mock transgender folks, but then he kept doing it.
And doing it.
And doing it.
With different clothing each time. The lad must have had an entire wardrobe full of clothing, or he was borrowing heavily, with support, from whoever actually owned it. And he was having a great time.
Anyone remember that song “Things that make you go ‘Hmm’”?
Hmmmm
Believe it or not, “rite” is the, uh, right, word here.
Are there ways of doing table things in LibreOffice, even if that specific feature isn’t there? That’s been why they haven’t added things in the past… but then eventually caved in and added them.
I’m thinking mainly of the fact that for long enough either LibreOffice (or its predecessor OpenOffice? It might have been that long ago) would try to add all one million vertical cells as a data range to a chart if the user selected an entire column, and the devs refused to “fix” that to only use everything down to the last non-blank cell.
But eventually someone got on the dev team who was willing to do that.
No harm in asking again.
