We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

Someone asked me if I knew how many people use my repos for #slackware and my only guess was 5. I honestly have no idea though, I don’t really check server logs anymore nor do I have any kind of software installed for that. I don’t want anyone’s data and I regularly purge old logs anyway.

If people find useful things, then great. Awesome even, but I don’t need to know anything unless its broken. 😁

True story 🤣

I think I'm close to giving up on #ProtonMail's email "application" for Linux since it's not responding to clicks of various kinds, and it's just a webapp anyway. I really should have checked how little Linux support they actually have before paying for a year of their service.

And I just realized this is yet another #ADHD thing I do sometimes. Ugh.
