I’m being cynical and sarcastic. I don’t actually take this lightly. There was an article not but a few hours ago about Trump basically having a deal hammered out.

Rumor around the water cooler was Trump was close to a deal.

I wonder how many US schools were just expended to blow up Iranians

Schumer will only be mad that Trump didn’t fill out the right paperwork, but will fullthroated support the policy.

Europe outsourced their militarism to the US for 40-60 years.

Who would stop this? As in, who has the forces to do so?

yeah I saw almost no coverage on this today. the zone is flooded, and boy is it shit.

Don lemon though, they covered it extensively.

A log of pages loaded?

Keep going I’m almost there…

Bruh if you had a live stream of this I would subscribe to your only fans.

Its gotta be the sox.

Passing versions back and forth with comments and track changes. Basic details around formatting. Again, I don’t blame LO, I blame MS, but its simply more straightfoward to work in native office.

I will consider this. I don’t have a problem paying for software. So this seems potentially viable. It also seems potentially un/under tested for my use case. I really can-not have the situation where things dont basically “just work” with regards to document collaboration.

Yeah. I use LibreOffice for everything but my professional writing. I can’t use it for that. It simply doesn’t play nice in a manner I can rely on for professional collaboration when everyone else is using either native microsoft office or office on apple.

If I lived in a world where everyone was on libreoffice, it probably would be fine. And I don’t blame LO for the issue, I think MS specifically makes their product hard to cooperate with. But that doesn’t resolve the issue of passing drafts back and forth with collaborators.

So I start the VM when I need it, use the app I need, shut it back down. The VM has no internet access, only a designated VLAN with no outbound, and any documents going to or from I use a thumb drive. Excessive, yeah, but its how things work for me.

This was my thinking, but office suite, and the documents would get saved to the NAS. How do you manage it as a VM? Are you using proxmox or similar? Do you use a setup script of somekind? What version of microsoft? Keys?

No… but we do need to be able to access all features of document composition. I’ve never used the free web version. We’re pretty hung up on doing things locally, on our compute, without having to have access to the broader internet.

I use libux btw

Sure but they answer the question correctly, whereas alternatives don’t.

It’s not about what you prefer, it’s about what meets the answer to their question most appropriately.

They are asking for a 100% gui/ui experience with not having to access the terminal.

The right answer to send someone to in that case with the ecosystem we have, is immutables. That what they are for.

Bazzite is the correct answer. Or steam OS. Anything immutable. Mint is not the right answer.

Proxmox?

And yes. Its like a full time job to homelab. Or a part time job. Its just hard, and sometimes things just don’t work.

I guess one answer is to pick your battles. You can’t win them all. But things are objectively better than they were in the past.

Throw Pop_OS on and see if that fixes literally everything.

reaIIy?
