@libreoffice V happy to see promise of easier Markdown interchange!
However... MalwareBytes is blocking both direct & torrent downloads "due to tracking attempts" ??? & Firefox is rejecting the mirror sites. Screenshots attached. Please advise?
@libreoffice You have a permissive AI policy, though, when it comes to developing these apps, assuming my knowledge is still up to date.
@libreoffice What's that phenomenon where your brain automatically corrects malformed text as you read? Honestly read this as "No bull-shit AI" first pass 😅
@libreoffice I'm quite interested in the updated ribbon-like interface. How quickly do these updates tend to filter their way down to the various distros, does anyone know?
@tehstu That depends totally on the distro. Some are quick, some take a lot longer! Best to ask the distro maintainers 😊
@libreoffice you got me at "no built-in AI"
