Another update for today: We're planning to revive LibreOffice Online, a web-based version of the suite that users can deploy on their own infrastructure: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/24/libreoffice-online-a-fresh-start/

I won't write down my wishes for next year, for I don't dream much these days… My greatest achievement this year is that I survived. I survived the bombing, the hunger, the displacement, the genocide. I survived despite everything… And in Gaza, simply staying alive is a wish in itself.
Be with us, don't leave me and my children alone. Speak about us, about our suffering and our reality.

This year, in response to GenAI concerns, I made one of my assessments a recorded presentation. Currently grading them, and so far, this has been one of the most enjoyable grading sessions I've had.
Finally some good from GenAI

My employer has added yet another step to the login process, so there are now THREE web pages to click through *each time I log in*. With a TTL of around 1 hour, this means I have to log into *each individual system* multiple times per day. This is a huge waste of time. 😔 #academia

We replicated one of the oldest experiments in Psychology (Triplett, 1898) as a registered report. Children completed a task faster in pairs than when they were alone.

Some day I'll write a paper on dual-processes in cognition that draws on Hemispheres by Rush for inspiration and illustration

I mean the first verse ends with:

"The gods of Love and Reason sought alone to rule the fate of Man"

This happens to me more and more. And colleagues don’t seem to care so much any more if what they generate makes sense or actually helps. As long as they’re seen to put something out there. But then others have to clean it up.

„Workslop uniquely uses machines to offload cognitive work to another human being. When coworkers receive workslop, they are often required to take on the burden of decoding the content, inferring missed or false context.“ #workslop

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable

AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."

This has implications for real world judgments, e.g., it is not uncommon for someone to be described as
“just an ordinary, hard-working person”
in the wake of a political scandal, or even in the courtroom. Our findings show this could be an effective strategy
