       Just a few words for anyone looking to see if I'm a real person or a bot; a genuine user or a Russian (or North Korean, or Chinese, or wherever) troll...Yep, I'm a real person, not a bot, troll, or even a synthetic, AI-generated personality.As I "just" joined Mastodon on August 14, 2024, you may well be suspicious of me, and that's fair. I would be, too.I have a variety of interests — political, technological, sci fi, even humor — so expect that sort of output from me, too.Be well!

       @libreoffice I love Libre Office. I used it for a bit when I was still a Mac person, and after switching full time to Linux with Linux Mint, I then used it with my job almost every day. I found building tools in LO Calc was significantly easier than Excel.Congrats #schleswigholstein for making the right choice!

       @libreoffice One other point I'd like to make is that, given the current political and Wall Street climate in the U.S., the EU's response through passing the ACI, etc., I think breaking and eliminating dependence upon Microsoft and, in practice, any other American tech corporation, is in national, state, and even city-level security and economic interest. I think adopting LibreOffice is a good first step, but you also need to switch to Linux, and Germany's own SUSE is an excellent choice.

       @libreoffice You're right, I didn't see the bit about "Linux and..." My bad.
