Does the new one look better or something? Or is it just the fact that it’s AI-written that’s getting people excited?

LibreOffice is an awesome piece of kit! On setup, they let you select the “tabbed” UI if you prefer something closer to MS office. Collabora Office is another one that seems neat, have not used it before though. OnlyOffice has weird Russian ties and GPL incompatible licensing shenanigans, I would avoid them for the most part. WPS Office has the best compatibility with MS Office files on Linux I think, but it’s closed-source so not great either. There’s always running a VM / dual booting if you must use MS Office. Honestly, MS office files have worked fine on LibreOffice, the only big issue I’ve found is that translucent images are a little broken when going from Impress to PowerPoint (all images share the same opacity for some reason?)

Nothing vibe coded is worth a shit.

The clone is perfect though, vibe coded or not: as it doesn’t work it’s obviously a 1:1 copy that’s just accurately mimicking the original…

The future is in containerization anyway. If we all run Qubes OS, we can run each vibecoded project in separate containers. So when they crash and burn, we just restore from snapshots. The future where noone does long division is inefficient!

The only reason we want a clone of ma office is because it’s the standard, not because it’s good…

It’s the difference between knowing how to market and knowing how to actually build shit. Turns out, in our modern society, the former is a far more valuable skill than the latter. Just bullshit your way until you get enough money and resources to actually hire people who know what they’re doing and can build the thing. It sucks

LibreOffice has the ability to use regex in search&replace, MS Office does not. So why should i use a copy of the inferior product?

I thought it was a photoshop clone, not a MS Office clone?

I always think of doing codng by hands but then I am so slow compared to others that it becomes not worth it. What to do about this? Yes i code very slowly if I do it by myself.

A friend just sent me a video of someone explaining that this vine coded PS version exists and it should be 1:1 on par or something. I dont know if that even makes sense, just manually checking and testing every single feature will take more then the time they claim they have spent on it lol

Love me some good libreoffice. I don’t use anything else on my personal machines.
