I don’t know about the features, the thing that makes me wary is that Collabora is a private company, unlike TDF which is non-profit.

Well if we’re looking at a “history repeats itself” event, I still hope it won’t be Collabora replacing LO as the default FOSS office suite.

LO works fine, it won’t suddenly stop because of this. But it may gradually decline, that’s to be seen… I’ll stick with LO for now.

Two thirds of secondary teachers (66 per cent) agree that pupils’ critical thinking has declined due to AI usage.

AI use among teachers is now widespread and growing. Three quarters (76 per cent) are now using AI tools for day-to-day work,

hmmm 🤔

Spell- and grammar-checking is useless anyway. If you don’t have at least one word underlined with red in every sentence, you’re not writing anything intellectually serious. 🧐

That makes sense, I suppose the bootleg song Heavy Metal Kids was also from that proto-Neu period? Because as great as it is it’s such a different aesthetic…

Btw what are your thoughts on early Kraftwerk/Organisation in general? Do you enjoy those albums? I found them wildly varying in quality, ranging from incredible to unlistenable…

Kraftwerk has at one point or another not had each of its core members. The only original member now is Hütter, but he left the band briefly in the early 70s (when they were still doing psychedelic rock) so nobody has been in the band continuously. And even though they typically have 4 members, a total of 21 musicians has rotated through the group.

Idk if that quite counts, but it’s close at least.

They did sing “wir sind die Roboter”, and robots are replaceable, so I guess it’s an appropriate band history. But, the output has still declined…

Well, for accessing paywalled articles .org is no replacement for .ph/.today, sadly. But it’s advisable to use it as little as possible, it seems using visitors for DDoS’ing the blog is still going on.

OTOH you may have missed the communication even if you were on Facebook. These days your feed is just 1/3 the groups you’re in and pages you’ve liked, 1/3 is the “recommended for you” random garbage, and 1/3 is ads. I’ve missed many notifications for events that interested me, they’d pop up a few days after the event actually took place.
