What kind of bull is this?

(Bad reporting or proofreading, 7% of pediatric ingestions)

I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.

KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

AFAIK Libreoffice only uses Java for limited things and isn’t a requirement.

Pretty sure it’s mostly C++

Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why? by ebits21 in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Disagree. Libreoffice is pretty capable for most use cases nowadays.

Compatibility is also pretty good with Microsoft formats despite Microsoft‘s best efforts.

OpenOffice is dead.

I’m just wondering if someone can generate me a hawk-camel hybrid.

My toddler really wants camels to be a type of hawk.
