I don't like LibreOffice but any actual Open Source dev deserves infinite more respect than those prompstitutes.

MODERATORS
I disagree, their efforts don't go unnoticed. Their recent no-AI claims prompted me to donate.
Wow, it managed to perfectly replicate Microsoft office?
To be fair, neither does the real MS office
LibreOffice - the only office suite that handles tables correct, even when multiple users change the document π₯³
Attention goes to that AI can fuck their creators though, not to the clone Programms.
that doesn't work
You see, they took the efforts to replicate Microsoft excel experience.
Excel is the 7th ring of hell
What level is Teams?
Satan just asked god to add new layers of hell.
If you think using it is bad, try deploying/maintaining it
For anyone not already aware, there was a push in the early 2000s to require government documents to be in a standard format rather than giving a specific vendor (Microsoft) unfair advantage (official government endorsement). LibreOffice (OpenOffice at the time) used the standardized ODF format, which should've pushed many European governments to switch to an open source office suite. Instead, Microsoft bribed a bunch of people to push through their "OOXML" format as a standard, even though it was just a snapshot of Office's behavior, bugs and all.
Decompilation projects are getting attention right now because AI models being able to do it is a new thing. Essentially the end of closed source is a huge deal and people haven't realized the implications..
Calling decompilation the βend of closed-sourceβ is way too hyperbolic.
Sir, thereβs a reason nobody likes to see the sausage being made.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I don't think the kind of person who contributes to FOSS projects get into it for the fame and attention.
Well Fuck. I should have done more research on this...
