Florencio CanoI'm writing a book and I was using the popular cloud word editors. During the last weeks I was having problems with the performance. My laptop is good enough, I think, but having too many pages it seems it was a problem for these editors. Very honestly, I never thought I was going to return to #libreoffice, but I have returned and now I have no problems doing a replacement of a word or a style on the whole document. Moreover, I'm really surprised about the amount of options it has that the most popular SaaS solutions don't have. It's crazy. Enshittification is real and if you are a proficient IT user, it's better that you take a look at the popular and traditional open source tools if you want to at least know all the options.
Sam JohnstonSince you’re writing a book you may also want to consider the impact of opaque data-less “open source” models in terms of creating a “chain of custody” from your work back to the content oligarchs: Disney, NYT, etc. but with models Rajiva’s on Common Crawl, everyone on the internet.
That today’s #opensource proponents like the OSI are actively participating in what effectively amounts to contributory infringement of copyrights boggles the mind!
