Just looking to see if I can talk to people about #LibreOffice on Matrix rather than IRC, I found this and agree with the proposal

https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/2024/msg00055.html

I have nothing against IRC, but this is 2024, matrix has a simple client and signup / sign in process which is better for everyone.

hi, I am trying to generate a qr code as per instructions at https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/qrcode.html, I am using LibreOffice 7.2 (7.3 community) on LinuxMint 21.3., once I follow those instructions,and press OK, I can't see a qr code in my document, am I doing something wrong? or is the feature not working

Thanks

Paul

@ijk

Would what @aral is working on be suitable here?

@itsfoss

@aral

Is Joe Biden solely to blame for this when the upper house keeps blocking these policies?

@aral

Yeah, politicians have libelled people before without having the taxpayer foot the bill.

@aral

Why does the taxpayer foot the bill?

@aral

People still trust Meta /Facebook how do we convince those people ?

Ok update from Aljazeera

Israeli officials delete video on posts claiming Palestinians responsible for hospital strike

Social media accounts belonging to the State of Israel and the Israeli ambassador to the US both appear to have deleted a video on posts claiming that a rocket fired from within Gaza caused the deadly explosion at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.

The plot clearly thickens as they say

@aral
So so it is hosted with a git repository, makes sense.

@aral

It should be good, still hoping I can get work as a tutor as some of the parents of the code club attendees seem interested in me helping with science and simple computing. I am going to hopefully have a chat tomorrow then get back to my employer on this.

@aral

Saturday I am doing my usual CodeClub at my local library, then sunday is American Football training, which this week is more of a social / fun session at the local beach / seafront.

@brewsterkahle
As mentioned before, a library is more than just a place for books, it is a place to meet, socialise, swap ideas, study alone or with other people. A place to get hold of journals, magazines and much more.

Use your local library or lose it, when budget decisions are made based on footfall and usage.

@mntmn

:0 I can't remember the truth table off hand but I think it is something like

0 - 0 - 0
1 - 0 -1
0 1 1
1 -1 -1

so output high when either of the inputs are high AND both inputs are high.

@mntmn

Ok without looking it up that is an XOR gate or eXclusive OR ?

@AndyHarrison

I agree,

You cannot erase history , we need to learn from it.

@aral

If I upload a picture that has text, there is a facility to scan the image for text, it didn't work last time I tried it. So in most cases can type small amounts of text manually.

Perhaps there could be a way to embed or append image metadata with the actual text of the image, then mastodon could be able to pick that up.

There are tools for stenography so it is possible to do that.

@aral

I am not a security expert but when I look at things like this, then read about security issues at Lastpass and other companies, is there a link. Surely the industry needs to get it's act together ASAP over all this.
