@h4ckernews I were a city official, I would be concerned about all of the lawsuits that directly implicate city officials for allowing these on city streets.

Absolutely the worst, even by hacker news comments standards.

Enjoying Libre Office. Not as easy to use as MSoft but much more control when you learn how. Despite some non-intuitive unautomated features that can be a bit frustrating, I would never go back.
Even did my bit and donated to Libre Office.

I really didn’t know which answer to expect, either, but this one isn’t surprising. Basically, LibreOffice is getting steadily more popular (as it should!) and this latest release is right in line with the existing trend. Congratulations to them – but the no-AI stance is probably not a big factor.

For now, all I can tell from the graph is :

  • LibreOffice is steadily increasing its downloads rate, and
  • There is always a small spike of downloads whenever a new version is out.

I'd be careful with the "it's because their no-AI stance".
