Cool,
but it's all too big for me.
I'll stick with my version 9.x on my notebook.
That's perfectly adequate for presentations... -

That's right, it's even worse than version 9.
It's 7.6. 😂
But I mainly use it offline. -

@libreoffice Are you going to add a spellchecker soon? Is there one already?

@Lahdoja Yes, LibreOffice has had a spellchecker for 15 years 😉

This is thrilling, I am looking forward to seeing what the markdown feature brings
I use markdown everyday from writing to note taking, to minutes - so knowing it will now be readily usable in LibreOffice is big

@libreoffice Oh that Markdown support needs to be checked out

@cos @libreoffice just import/export. A feature request asking for ui support was recently closed as "won't fix" (rightly so, IMO).
@RGBes @libreoffice why? If I open a markdown file, I would like to make sure I don't use features it can't represent. Of course saving the file in ODT should lift the restrictions.

do you happen to know why the "check update" says there's no update?

@rzeta0 It's our new stable branch (in that it won't change, with random new features in 26.2.1, 26.2.2 etc.) It will only receive bug and security fixes. The update checker will recommend it for all users after the first or second point release, but you can always get it directly from the website. Thanks!

@libreoffice Markdown support! 🙌
@altim
+1 looking forward to try it out!

@cos @libreoffice When loading a non-native file format, LibO translate it into its own internal representation, you never really work on the non-native format, you always import/export it, which means that after a few rounds you can get a messy file. On any program, it's always better to work with the native format. Also, using Writer to write a markup file is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut 😉 Better use a lean, quick markup editor and only at the end import it for the final touches.

We've looked at absorbance spectra of a bunch of magnatiles but she doesn't quite get all the details I'm trying to explain.
The joys of trying to teach a preschooler physics lol. (Having Paisley's Corner playing in the background was also a bit of a distraction but she insisted)

Comparing spectra of the incandescent and white LED bulbs

Fine tuning the Lego spectrometer more.
Using a maglite as the source eliminates the need for a separate collimating lens.
I also switched away from the very flaky variable slit made of a sliding brick that wouldn't stay in place if you looked at it wrong.
After some failed experiments with aluminum foil, I discovered that the round tree trunk Duplo brick was a tiny bit smaller than a nominal square 2x2 brick. When placed next to a square brick and locked in place with a plate on top you get a very consistent, repeatable slit that I'd ballpark as somewhere around 200 μm.

Another relaxing evening playing around with soundfonts

@staff if it weren't for all the sport bots that jam the feed it'd have been cool to keep seeing it
-
@staff to be fair one can say the same about the Trending feed, in the sense that it features a pretty homogeneous side of Mastodon that focuses on the same subjects over and over (e.g. exclusive focus on U.S. issues, technology, cats when people have other pets or none at all, etc.) and this can discourage people with more varied interests or lived experiences beyond that. We should be encouraging more diversity of interests beyond those things. The Trending feed does not sufficiently do that, despite the lack of an algorithm.
(this is kind of tangential to my earlier point about moderation, but I still feel it is worth mentioning)

@untilted We certainly do, but the live feeds on mastodon.social are things posted in the last few seconds, it is essentially a pre-moderation view.
It is neither the best way for newcomers to find their community, nor much use to many established users. If people want to drink straight from the firehose, they can, but we do not recommend it.
