Just use e/os ! ;)

Maybe something else instead. e/os famously leaves the bootloader gaping open after the installation (looks like relocking is only supported on Fairphones), is very late to release anything (their most recent ROM is still based on AOSP 14!), inc.securty updates.

Doesn't sound like a serious project.

what else?

i'd rather have secure, stable and slow. i don't know about locking the bootloader (do you have a reference to that? i'd like to read up on it). but i don't care that their rom is always the most recent one.

what matters is that e/OS is the only rom i am aware of that combines usability with security. graphene OS doesn't count because it is only available on pixel phones and therefore very limited in applicability. others i don't know.

So there is now a new possbility to create a new social network, retro style in a sense.

God bless him. Religion aside, his encyclicas covering more earthly subjects (Fratelli Tuti, Laudato Si) are really worth to be read. Download and read them as PDF in the language of your choice, no matter what your religious views are.

… yeah, never give rights to workers! Back to the middle ages again!

Betriebsräte are actually a really sane measure once you think about it. And the more intelligent managers take them as an asset.

Did you completely miss the "while not necessarily 'bad'" part of my post?

Not the OP, but I don't understand what your original comment was trying to convey.

You took in my opinion unfortunately the worst example you could. Unions are by definition bureaucratic because they need to be...

Betriebsräte are not unions though...

You're right, technically they are different. However, the context is relatively similar - lots of laws to know about, etc.

Currently re-visiting and re-describing old tumulus tombs in my area where the last survey was decades ago and where no current description exists. Also, I found tombs via Lidar maps that have been unaccounted before and I am cataloguing them. All that as a hobby and as a member of an association of local history.

Things can be done and should!!

I'm doing genealogy. Practically everyone in the hobby is doing research for leisure.

It has far less potential to be sold in millions than the Model 3. The cybertruck is built ignoring certification standards in many jurisdictions (no way of legally drive on in Europe). Then the design is super controversial. Compare that to a Model 3 that is sold worldwide and that has a design which is acceptable to many.

All in all, it's a sentiment, but one that's hard to ignore. As a halo product, the Cybertruck is terrible for the Tesla brand.

Libreoffice Draw is an often overlooked application that I've been using for years to create one-page/two-page designed documents. It has become quite powerful over the years.

Also, you might want to have a look at the open source "Scribus". I never liked it too much, but it gets a lot of jobs done.

Scribus is on a whole different level as a direct competitor Adobe Indesign. Scribus is for professional dtp.

I think Scribus was mentioned as an alternative to MS Publisher.

Scribus and Indesign are for professionals. MS Publisher is not.

Yes, Scribus could do anything Publisher can as it provides a superset of features compared to the latter. But I think it would be confusing for people that don't understand color profiles, offset press and all the relevant stuff professionals care about. The bells and whistles are there for a reason.

I just wrote a thesis in Libreoffice, because the faculty didn’t allow to use LaTex. It really impressed me with its features. It is a pro-tool

Did the same back in the day with OpenOffice. MS Word would crash ad-hoc past a certain page count plus the auto-indexing feature of OO actually worked and was predictable. Also.. the styling was, if clunky, at least workable! Actually think the later versions of LibreOffice have started going down hill, heavier (initially the libre fork prided itself on being light-weight afair) and still as ugly as ever.

A faculty not allowing LaTeX seems like a weird choice, what were their reasons? Did they need direct access to a document for editing or something? Would honestly be a huge red flag for me if someone would tell me in which editor I cannot write a doc.
