LibreOffice doesn't do this. Enough said.
Heads up: Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out. If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.

don't call it a password, call it a PIN that's minimum 15 characters in length and can contain any combination of letters, digits, and symbols...

"hey this is an objectively bad idea and I'm not proposing that we do it, but it would technically fulfill the requirements-as-stated, so maybe we should use it to improve our requirements?"

Working with product designers is fascinating because it forces me to articulate the principles of how I want to be designed for. * If you tell me something is wrong, also give me a link to click to take my next step toward fixing it

* If the interface needs to warn me about something, the warning should happen late enough that you're certain I'll only see it when it applies, but early enough so I can heed it and avoid making a difficult-to-fix mistake

dear @fedex, does "scheduled delivery date pending" mean i can get away with running an errand tonight, or does "out for delivery" mean you're going to drop by with the "why weren't you here to sign for it" note while i'm gone?

In light of some, ahem, fairly significant news in the general Linux distro world, it's probably worth a reminder about what community is: Community is, and always has been, the people. blogs.vmware.com/opensource/…

Two hard problems in human reasoning: cached-thought invalidation and naming things.

gotta wonder whether shameful self-promotion is in some way superior to the shameless variety, though.

Have you ever wondered what workforce identity is, or how the pros answer devops and developer questions about it? I sure did, and with my team at @oktadev, I now host a monthly podcast to learn what's going on and share it with anyone who wants to listen! developer.okta.com/blog/2023…

What's with the business-speak "net new" instead of just "new"? Is it differentiating from "gross new"?

If you grant social network apps access to “All Photos” ⚠️ … they can listen to the spoken Audio 💬 in your Live Photos! 🔊 … My friend was just chatting to me about how this is one way ad targeting software can “listen” 🔮 without showing the Mic indicator on your phone. 😱
