The Economist - Republicans are servile. Courts are slow. Can the Democrats rouse themselves? economist.com/leaders/2025/09/…


So I started using LibreOffice. Did an OS update on my macbook today. Come to find out today, that LibreOffice was not saving properly on my mac, nor was it backing up uncorrupted to my proton drive.

I've lost EVERYTHING from my hardest and most significant day's work, impossible to reconstruct (TCP/IP ancient history who said what when and multiple sources) and I'm fucking despairing.

LibreOffice online help 404s. Anyone out here can help get back corrupt ODT files?

in reply to Mad Alex

@madalex Without details (LibreOffice version, macOS version, exact error message(s) etc.) it's hard to say. Maria, are you saying you were working on LibreOffice files normally before, and then after a macOS update, LibreOffice is now saying the .odt files are corrupt?
in reply to LibreOffice

@libreoffice @madalex thanks guys, it's actually hard to say. I updated Mac OS today (sequioa 15.6.1). before I did that, I saved +closed my .odt with yesterday's work in Libre Office. restarted, then opened LO to find most recent version anywhere was almost 24 hours previous, including on proton drive back up which just had a lock file. Mac 'most recent' had zero LO/ODT files - it had never saved any. And version control says no version older than at start of yesterday's work exists.
in reply to mariafarrell

@libreoffice @madalex What really makes me cross is that - now that I've investigated <after> the problem destroyed my work - the failure to save documents properly on a macbook is a known issue? and I could and should have taken action to give LO special access rights via Mac's privacy and security settings. That may have prevented all of this but it's the first I ever heard that was needed.

Feels particularly ironic the work in question is a book about how to ... get off Big Tech.

in reply to mariafarrell

@libreoffice LO latest version as it was installed only last week: 25.8.0.4

The proton drive file was corrupted. The LO ODT files on my mac just simply were never created... Despite me hitting 'apple S' multiple times yesterday while working and despite saving and closing the document before I upgraded my OS.

I'd love to have brought this up with your support site link from the programme itself but the link doesn't even resolve...

in reply to mariafarrell

Which support site link doesn't work, by the way? ask.libreoffice.org is the usual place to get help...
in reply to LibreOffice

@libreoffice Maybe check out the actual URL launched when a user clicks "Libre Office Help" in your application Help menu?

Because that's the "usual place" users actually seek help from IN YOUR APP.

This superior and obtuse response from you says a lot about how you treat users.

in reply to mariafarrell

I'm sorry you're unhappy with our attempts to help... We're volunteers doing all we can give the world a free office suite, but of course we're not perfect. Please bear with us...
in reply to LibreOffice

@libreoffice Guys, thank you, I get you're volunteers. I volunteered for many years on another part of technical standards, and know how thankless, but this is really egregious.

My work was destroyed by a known issue that many have suffered. There's a quick and easy prevention step. And it just isn't communicated. I <want> to use OS. I <want> to financially support it and convince other people to. But it destroyed my work! How can I recommend Libre Office to others in good conscience now?

Ogni volta che in un film o una serie inquadrano un prigioniero in cella da anni, un comatoso abbandonato in un letto d’ospedale per settimane, un naufrago mi sorge sempre la stessa domanda: come fanno ad avere una barba, un pizzetto, una acconciatura così curate?

"Shigeichi Negishi [...] was singing to himself at work one day in 1967 when an employee jokingly told him he was out of tune. Figuring that singing along to music would help him stay on pitch, Negishi began thinking about how to make that possible. He had the idea to turn one of the 8-track tape decks his company manufactured into what is now known as the karaoke machine."

Margaret Sullivan identified new issues that need be added to journalism ethics codes. E.g. “How news organizations should deal with artificial intelligence. How to cover politicians who lie and mislead the public as an essential part of their personas—and who get away with it (…). How social media acts as a double-edged sword for reporters and editors. How to run a successful and ethical nonprofit newsroom without giving way to philanthropic pressure.”

I hate that I do depend on voice search. Mainly because I'm bad at spelling and people get pedantic over misspelling a word that they CLEARLY know what it is. Fair enough if it a misspelling so bad that it difficult to know what someone is trying to type.
in reply to Matthew

Sadly, the voice search is limiting due to make I have difficulties with speaking so I sometime use a simpler word if I can't spell or pronounce the word where voice search would recognize it.

Things I would do to try not picked on when people could easily stop being pedantic about. Sadly, a lot of people are like that. 😒

Wir können uns also den #Sozialstaat nicht mehr leisten, sagt der #NichtMeinKanzler.

Ich denke wir können es uns nicht mehr leisten Steuerschlupflöcher nicht zu schließen und "Reiche" nicht an ihren Vermögen bemessen am Sozialstaat zu beteiligen, auch z.B. Beamte vom Sozialstaat ihre Pensionen beziehen ohne eingezahlt zu haben und vieles mehr.
Wenn diese 'Probleme' angefasst werden können wir uns auch den Sozialstaat leisten.

Missing a possibility to mute or block an account within the app, e.g. clicking on the three dots on a post brings up only the "Report" option. And when selecting "View Profile" there the three dots seem to do nothing at all.

Va bene le tradizioni, ma anche il rinnovamento non guasta. Si dovrebbe parlare di proteggere tutte le attiviste e attivisti politici umanitari di qualsiasi nazione e non solo la fetta italiana già ora, non è poi cosi difficile. Giusto per evitare nel caso peggiore la gogna mediatica al ritorno in patria del "ve la siete cercata e abbiamo privatizzato la sanità per liberarvi". L'importante è solo alimentare il senso di colpa verso il dissenso in qualche modo

@Otttoz non so dirti se e chi voterò e non è per il segreto. Non voto il programma che non c'è, voto le persone per come si presentano nel quotidiano. La sinistra è forte solo se unita in un'unica visione, non divisa com'è ora con sinistra e verdi in minoranza. Nel periodo del riscaldamento globale non vorrei votare per la solita minestra riscaldata. Per questo pungolo più la sinistra che la destra. La destra è irrecuperabile


The Washington Post: #EU leaders have come up with a “security for Kiev” scheme — to deploy troops further away from the front, train the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and restore the army’s resources.

But implementation is tied to Washington. American intelligence, air defense systems, and control technologies are needed.
