LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features

Been using Libre Office since I moved to W10 LTSC IoT about two years ago. Libre Office just works.

As a person who works in IT support I'm not scared of AI.. I'm scared of Linux and Libre.. Modern day Microsoft don't know how to build an operating system and Microsoft from 20 years ago have no idea how to stop F#%king Excel and word from crashing for no reason.

Microsofts sheer incompetence keeps me employed. Adobe's pure evil business plan also keeps me employed.. Adobe Acrobat is one of the worst pieces of garbage software (alongside Excel and word).

Please keep telling your company how scared you are of Libre! I need my job and I hate Microsoft and Adobe more than you do.

Edit: Removed a bit that doesn't work and is just offensive..

New Farm to Combat Depression

I am always very depressed, most of my life is behaving foolishly so people will insult me and engage with me so I don't have to feel the depression.

Video games are an escape but trying to run away into a single video game doesn't work for me.

I can't give you advice because what works for me (alcohol and self deprecating jokes) doesn't work for everyone.

For me Depression is a long long long journey. I have been told by everyone that talking to therapists helped.. I've talked to multiple therapists, I've tried medication... Only making myself a joke for everyone to laugh at and alcohol have helped me.

Please seek therapists and medication before you follow my me. And please please do everything you can before you take that final option.

Apu sitting in the corner out of picture

It was already said about Troy Mclure. I'm still annoyed that a 3rd rate Indian comedian said "Apu is making us all look bad" Ahh yes Apu who is literally the hardest working person (besides Smithers) Apu a man who had 5 women dating him at one time. A man who got the hottest girl ever (The Squishish girl).. They decided that was offensive and against their race.

All I've got is "OI MISTER PRIME MINISTER" and "900 DOLLARYDOOS???"

I guess I'm entitled because 900 dollarydoos is fucking hilarious and I love being insulted.

I have some long lost Scottish heritage (ask the English and the Catholic Church why I can't look up my history) and I Absolutely love everything about Groundskeeper Willie even his creepy phase of filming couples in their cars... "EVERY SCOTTISH PERSON DOS EET'

Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty in federal case in UnitedHealthcare killing, AP source says

It's still completely insane to me that this pretty little Italian man is being punished for a crime that CCTV footage showed was a tall angry Anglo-Saxon man in his late 40s.

The original CCTV footage showed a much older very white very dangerous man.

The only way Mangione could be dangerous is if I put pineapple on my pizza or I mispronounced "Rigatoni". That's just a joke, I'd never put pineapple on pizza.. Pineapple is only good when it's fresh.

20 years ago things weren’t so shit

I have been told I am complaining too much about my company moving to windows 11 and that I need to grow up.

I will then watch those same people slowly but surely start to complain about changes and things not working. I got laughed at today for fighting the updates and windows 11 by a few people who are probably going to be made redundant by this change. (I'm not angry, making people laugh and being a loudmouth idiot is my favourite thing)

I have been in IT support since 2007 and I know that all the change is bad.

My personal computer is on Win10 LTSC IoT and I'm moving to Linux Mint (Thankyou to the people on this forum that recommended it).

Change in tech can be good but not when it's Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and HP making the changes.

Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse'

It's pretty accurate, AI and every other nonsensical idea in the IT world is making everything worse because all the big bosses want to see AI take off.

Baby Boomers destroyed the world and hated the Internet Gen X and the very oldest of millennials want to see AI take over.. They're now aware that AI will take their jobs too.

Gen Z and younger millennials are using AI daily.

I am 37 years old, I work in IT support.. I know now to Google things, I know how to talk to people.. So I don't need AI.

Yes yes I'm very very aware how great AI is for science and medicine.. I'm not in either of those fields so I don't need AI.
