A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

LibreOffice is the good stuff if you need an office suite. It can do everything you might actually need and the price is right. But I'm old and retired and no longer have a need for a full office suite. I find AbiWord and Gnumeric all I need anymore. It kind of makes me sad to do so, but I uninstall LibreOffice these days.
Shit, I still use GobeProductive 3. Little more than 50 mb gets you a word processor, spreadsheet, image and graphics and a power point maker. And it's pretty nice having my docs in a format that nobody even can open or convert.
Abiword and Gnumeric are great too!
It took me longer than I care to admit that I no longer needed a full office suite. And for me, Abiword and Gnumeric meet my light and simple needs.
I still have feelings for LibreOffice though.😰
