“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

    🆕 LibreOffice 26.8: What’s New?

    There’s no AI in LibreOffice 26.8. Nothing about the suite talks to a remote server, and none of it needs an internet connection to work.

    This isn’t an oversight; it’s a promise. TDF says that if your work can’t leave the building for legal or privacy reasons, the only way to prove that later (during an audit, for example) is if the software never gave it anywhere to go.

    Anyhow, coming back to the editors. 👇

    Absolutely fuck this shit.


    Edit: Here’s the blog post from TDF themselves if you don’t just want an AI chewing up and vomiting out what the humans behind LibreOffice wrote.
