I heard one person at a meeting I was in, an older person mind you, saying that they wouldnt be beholden to microsoft office anymore because the subscription was so pricy, and that they switched to #LibreOffice
It literally made my day, because its proof that people do have limits, even as theybget older, of what abuse they'll take from companies, you just have to show them how they're abused and that theres a better way. Hopefully, I can show some of my older coworkers the freedom of #linux!

I give a fiver each month to the wonderful FOSS-type things below:

- Signal (killing Meta's WhatsApp)
- Libre Office (slaying Microsoft's 365)
- GrapheneOS (kicking Google Stock Android in the goolies)

If you use any of these - and you can afford to - why not set up a monthly dontation to the wonderful organisations above.

Thankfully, my #LibreOffice suite opens and works perfectly fine.

En pleine phase de déconstruction numérique (comprenez mon changement de paradigme par rapport à l’ #hightech ), mes pratiques ont évolué :

1. Au revoir #AppleWatch
2. Pas de renouvellement de #smartphone (jusqu’à présent, je les conservais seulement deux ans…)
3. Fermeture des services #google et ouverture d’une boîte mail chez @posteo.de
4. Fermeture de mon compte #microsoft 365 et transition sur #LibreOffice
5. En cours : suppression des logiciels / applications disponibles uniquement pour #iOS / #macOS
6. En cours : acculturation au monde du #libre

Mais, il y a encore du taf… #workinprogress 😅

Okay #LibreOffice users, what does it mean to change the "theme" of a document or presentation? I've tried this in LibreOffice Impress, but nothing is different. Not the color scheme, not the font.....

Finally I canceled my company's Google account. Moved mail to Fastmail and docs to Libreoffice plus Nextcloud Files.

#degoogle #fastmail #nextcloud #LibreOffice

I used to pay £23 for #Google and #Microsoft accounts per month, just to have cloud storage and #Office.

I've since moved to #Proton for storage, VPN and email (about £10). The money saved has gone towards monthly donations to #LibreOffice (365 replacement) and #Signal (#Meta#WhatsApp replacement) - both #FOSS.

What I'm trying to say, I guess, is that if you #LeaveBigTech - and can afford it - donations to the organisations that try to keep the internet free and private would be excellent.

I have to say, this is not an ideal way for LibreOffice Writer to look when I open my first document in it after installation…

Quelques nouveautés et changement de #LibreOffice 25.2. À noter, on cherche des personnes pour traduire la suite bureautique en français, Jean-Baptiste Faure qui le faisait depuis des années passe la main. Un très grand merci à lui.

Jour 8
Ça rame, c'est normal? Je me motive pour ne pas abandonner si vite et je décoche l'option "Enregistrer les modifications", au cas où ce serait la cause.

Jour 11
Premier plantage! Deux paragraphes perdus seulement, mais c'est un vrai moment de découragement.

On me dit: attends de changer de machine, d'acheter un PC, et de mettre Linux dessus. Les avis seront bienvenus!
