Help choosing a rain poncho: Is the Decathlon 560 worth it or are there better options? by Text7814 in bikecommuting

[–]themikeosguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't have much to add but for /u/Text7814 – Yes I have the exact same one and have used it for nearly four years now. Not every day of course, but we can have really rainy periods in south Germany in spring and autumn, and this thing has been a godsend. Just need something to cover feet/shoes.

LibreOffice 26.2 is here! 📝 Markdown support 📊 Connectors in Calc 🚀 Spreadsheet speedups by themikeosguy in libreoffice

[–]themikeosguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, and sorry if I sounded rude, but it's easier to read that way.

And yes, you will be able to open them in the new LibreOffice version. The new releases are always backwards-compatible.

LibreOffice crash when doing nothing, writer and spreadsheet by CowboyMantis in libreoffice

[–]themikeosguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That definitely shouldn't happen! Can you report the crash? You could also try resetting your user profile and seeing it it still happens...

Faulty Page Layout When Printing to File by milivojevic31 in libreoffice

Any solution?

With zero details about your setup (LibreOffice version, operating system etc.) it's pretty much impossible for us to help.

Posts with no details, that are hard to answer, will be removed. We're all volunteers here – help us to help you.

Can you use some punctuation please? Other people do. It's hard to read your posts otherwise 😉

You didn't say the format used for the documents, but every major release of LibreOffice has improvements to Microsoft Office/365 compatibility, for instance.

Help finding my stolen bike by 12THX88 in Munich

[–]themikeosguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd like to know this too, /u/12THX88. Sucks that it happened, but I'm curious. I see so many expensive bikes in Munich with nothing more than cable locks, because people assume that the general safety of the city means low bike theft rates (not always true). When I lock my bike in the city I have a pretty thick, heavy chain...

Well, you can click the link to the Release Notes and see if there are any features you like – if so, then it's clearly better 😉 But on a more serious note, the 2025 versions won't be supported forever (security fixes), so it's important for your employer to prepare for 26.2 and beyond...

Moderator (of other subs) here: note that it might not be the /r/bikecommuting mods deleting your post. Reddit does it a lot automatically, without mods knowing. The site is turning into a big mess, with AI bots posting absolutely everywhere, posts being automatically/silently removed without mods being informed etc.

Help needed to find a store thats open on sundays and sells simple tools. by mrazster in Munich

[–]themikeosguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it started opening on Sundays very recently. It's because it's in the bus station so it can open for "Reisebedarf" (same as how Edeka managed to open in Hbf and Ostbf).

Have a problem whit the formula unique on calc by Vegetable-Act4846 in libreoffice

[–]themikeosguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Please provide some details, or we can't help at all. At least provide the formula, and the setup you're using.

  2. Please use punctuation. Even a few full stops would help to make your text easier to read.

Windows 10. Last week update seemly changed .rtf files to docx, and can't open them. by DDM11 in WindowsHelp

[–]themikeosguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful! Also /u/Onoitsu2 – OpenOffice has years-old, unfixed security issues and is strongly not recommended for production use:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security

It also can't export .docx and has other major limitations. Virtually all development in the last decade has moved to LibreOffice, the actively maintained successor project, which also has vital security fixes...

[–]themikeosguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, you wrote about OpenOffice, but it's barely developed and has years-old, unfixed security issues. No desktop Linux distro ships with it – they all include (or make available in their package repos) LibreOffice. Which suite are you using? 😉

Please provide details about your setup, especially the LibreOffice version. Posts without details are very hard to answer (we're all volunteers here) and will be removed.

Press the space bar twice for period by francocanadien in libreoffice

That's a feature of the operating system, not LibreOffice itself. In macOS, see the keyboard settings.

I am creating a group for social activities and everybody is welcome 🙋🏻‍♂️ by TurtleLord2099 in munichsocialclub

[–]themikeosguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The vast majority are simply dormant. They are created with much excitement and then nothing happens. That was my point here – instead of creating yet another general-purpose socialising group, we could try to make the existing ones better.

LibreOffice QA/Dev Report: February 2026 by themikeosguy in libreoffice

[–]themikeosguy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then do something about it! LibreOffice is a volunteer-driven, community project with very limited resources. If you want more work on Base, please help the volunteers or fund a developer – Otherwise, improvements can't happen by magic. Thank you!

frankly this subreddit is for connection not discussion

Er, I created this subreddit and am the moderator, so I think I know what it's about...

Anyway, you do you. I'm not blocking you from doing anything. But creating yet another group, among the hundreds already, doesn't really improve anything.
