Apple to GNU/Linux Journal: Food and exercise tracking with LibreOffice Calc
Transitioning my health tracking from proprietary apps on Apple devices to Free Software on GNU+Linux has proven fairly easy. The result is a simple spreadsheet that is private, future-proof, easy to update and back-up.

#LibreOffice 25.2.5 Open-Source Office Suite Is Now Available for Download with More Than 60 Bug Fixes https://9to5linux.com/libreoffice-25-2-5-office-suite-is-now-available-for-download-with-63-bug-fixes
New update – #LibreOffice 25.2.5 is now available: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07/17/tdf-announces-libreoffice-25-2-5/ #foss #OpenSource
LibreOffice's codebase is absolutely massive (~50M lines according to cloc?), and it very much got me beat the other day, when I "speedran" a scant 2 bugfixes in 7 hours.
So today, I'm going for a rematch! Let's see if better tools (rr, ctags) and better understanding of #LibreOffice code is going to be enough for me to get a bugfix in under 2 hours for #BugsDoneQuick! :joy:

It seems that #LibreOffice will give us #Markdown support long before #Mastodon will add that as feature for slightly more rich formats when composing a toot. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
It's been a feature request since ages. Just give us a bit of `courier` for commands, a tad of **bold** and
- bulleted
- lists
and [Nice link](https.//). It's long overdue :(
More good news! Another government is freeing itself from tech giants and vendor lock-in. The Danish Ministry of Digitalisation is dropping Microsoft Office/365 and moving to #LibreOffice, to get back control: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07/08/danish-ministry-switching-from-microsoft-office-365-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware

We're making tabs in #LibreOffice dialog boxes vertical, to improve navigation. This is just one of the many changes our QA and Development communities worked on in June: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2025/07/07/qa-dev-report-june-2025/ #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware

Fedi/Linux fans, please help. I’m trying to wean my wife off of Windows/MSOffice. She is receptive to Ubuntu or Mint, but she has a hatred of LibreOffice. If that’s the best we can do the project won’t fly. Any other good office suites I should be testing?
(Not OpenOffice…) #Linux #Office #LibreOffice #MSOffice
I'm giving #LibreOffice the ol' college try. Mostly it feels like it can be a drop-in replacement for Word in most of my use cases. Immediately turned off autocomplete, which was causing weird hangs. And I say with love, @libreoffice, that default serif font ain't it. That said, looking forward to putting it through its paces.

Open Document Format (ODF) is the standard format for #LibreOffice. Learn about ODF compliance and interoperability in our latest blog post: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/06/20/understanding-odf-compliance-and-interoperability/ #foss #OpenSource #openstandards
Com a aproximação do fim do suporte ao Windows 10, governos europeus estão acelerando a substituição de ferramentas da Microsoft por soluções de código aberto, indicando uma possível virada de paradigma digital. Nos últimos meses, estados como Eslésvico-Holsácia, na Alemanha, e o governo dinamarquês deram início a uma transição ampla para abandonar o Windows, o pacote Office e o Microsoft Teams.
Wish #libreoffice actually worked... Want to change to #darkmode but it either makes the background black with black text or doesn't let me change text color.....

Well, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Netherlands, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK and Uruguay for starters: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/06/14/odf-analysis-of-adoption/ #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware #openstandards

Congratulations to the government of #Denmark for leading by example in Europe 🇩🇰👏 By choosing #Linux & #LibreOffice, Denmark is prioritizing #DigitalSovereignty, reducing vendor lock-in, and shaping a resilient future.

For the longest time I used LibreOffice on Linux and Microsoft Office on Windows, but now I have dumped Microsoft Office for LibreOffice on Windows too.
My blog post explains why, but basically: fuck Microsoft and their shoving of Copilot down our throats. (I also rant about the current AI hype cycle, in case you're interested.)
