Yes it is… but it actually allows for collab features that LibreOffice doesn’t have.

Been using them for 15 years; the bottles get a few dents in them, but I’ve even been able to hammer most of those out.
Haven’t used a plastic water bottle since the early 90s.
Same reason people join crime syndicates.
OK, so since Apple is integrating the Phone app into macOS and already has the other apps there… will someone using an older phone be able to use these tools on their computer? Seems like it should be technically possible, and you can download way more language models on a computer.
I wonder why they chose LibreOffice instead of Collabora?
The one I use is part of a hardware UTM, but I also use Lockdown VPN on iOS, and https://pi-hole.net/ in a container on my LAN, and then VPN all my devices to my home network when I’m not at home.
Depends on the browser/OS.
My go-to for general browsing is Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript, which I also use in Edge; I have a few browsers that are still using uMatrix, and I have a proxy filter that strips calls to .js URLs by default except for specifically allowed URLs.
the company knowingly avoided at least $8,800 in program fees….
Well, if it saved more than $19,000 last time around, it definitely came out ahead.
$28,300 — is this on top of the $19,000, or is this only an additional $9,300? Because if it’s the second, by not complying over the past year, it’s really only cost them $500 - which is likely less than all the additional costs of changing over their entire inventory handling workflow during that time. And if they’re still refusing to pay… that’s an easily absorbable cost, leaving them mostly with the problem of bad publicity.
This is why using a local web proxy is a good idea; it can standardize those responses (or randomize them) no matter what you’re actually using.
Personally, I keep JavaScript disabled by default specifically because of this, and turn on those features per-site. So if a website has a script that requires the accelerometer for what it does, that script gets to use it. Other sites keep asking for it? I suppress the requests on that site and if it fails to operate (throws one of those ad blocker or “you have JS disabled errors), I just stop going to the site.
I’ve found that with everything disabled by default, browsing the web is generally a pleasant experience… until it isn’t.
This of course requires using a JS management extension. What I’d really like to see is a browser that defaults to everything disabled, and if a site requests something, have the browser ask for permission to turn on the feature for that particular script, showing the URL for the script and describing what the code does that needs the permission. This seems like an obvious use for locally run AI models.
What about a macOS containerization framework?

“Hey, wait a minute! My shoes used to have my feet in them! Why are they full of drugs when coming out of the scanner???”
You’d think when they asked him for his ID and he showed them his badge and ID card, they’d realize they got the wrong person.
What this illustrates is that ICE does a horrible job of checking people’s identity. It took validation by multiple state officers to get him released.
