I do find it interesting that most of the references to greek homosexuality come from one group talking about their rivals. Spartans called the Athenians boy lovers and the Athenians said the same thing about the Spartans. almost as if it was meant as an insult

Israeli outlet Haaretz has published an article titled “Now I Understand Why Israel Is Denying Journalists Access to the Appalling Scene in Gaza” by French historian Jean-Pierre Filiu, who spent a month in Gaza after entering with a busload of French physicians.
#israel has banned journalists from #gaza in order to hide its war crimes, making doctors the de facto western reporters on the ground. And they’re all reporting the same thing about what they are seeing.

La police néerlandaise se déclare officiellement opposée à une nouvelle législation en cours d'adoption qui vise à créer un délit d'aide aux personnes en situation irrégulière et à restreindre le droit d'asile. Sa présidente affirme que la police est là pour venir en aide aux personnes qui en ont besoin, et non pour leur faire la chasse.

Ça fait bizarre quand on lit ça.

Harvard trying to choose the path that punishes people who oppose genocide while at the same time fighting off the Trump admin's attack on academic freedoms is a remarkable effort at squaring two completely adversarial roles.

Here's the commencement speech by Zehra Imam from Harvard Divinity School. The speech Harvard censored.

"Palestine is waiting for you to arrive. And you must be courageous enough to rise to the call because Palestine will keep showing up in your living rooms until you are ready to meet its gaze."

All major US institutions have betrayed the values America pretended to stand for.

Yet while institutions like Harvard act in cowardice, some who attended it, like Zehra Imam, still see the world with moral clarity and act with courage in service of truth & real justice.

FreeOffice isn't open source. It's available as a deb or an RPM, or a basic archive. No Flatpak, Snap or Appimage, though.

FreeOffice does word processing, creating spreadsheets, and presentations. FreeOffice aims to be as compatible with MS Office as can be. FreeOffice gives you a choice between the classic menubar + toolbar combo, and the ribbon interface that MS office uses.

In terms of Office compatibility, I tried a few complex templates, and there seem to be a few issues on word documents, with header images not being in the right place, and elements being moved where they don't belong.

FreeOffice is free of charge to download, but the free version does lack a few features.

You probably all know about Libreoffice. It has a word processor, a spreadsheet module, a presentation app, but also a flowchart /diagram editor that also doubles as a PDF editor, and a database module comparable to Microsoft Access.

It's completely open source, doesn't cost a dime, and is installable in virtually every way you'd ever want: deb, rpm, flatpak, snap, appimage, you name it.

LibreOffice is compatible with the opendocument format, but also with MS office formats. The compatibility with openXML formats, like docx, xlsx or pptx isn't 100% perfect though.

In terms of interface, LibreOffice is super customizable: not only can it pick up your GTK or Qt theme, but you can also change its icons in the settings, and change how the interface looks and feels. By default, it uses the older menubar + toolbar layout, but you can change that into a ribbon interface, a simplified ribbon, a grouped bar, a sidebar, basically you can do whatever you want, and customize each toolbar to add or remove what you want.

There's another open source office suite for Linux, and that's OnlyOffice. It only offers the 3 basic modules: word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. It's free to download and open source, and comes as a deb, an RPM, a flatpak, an appimage, or a snap package, so anyone can get it.

OnlyOffice supports the Microsoft OpenXML document format, as well as the opendocument format that Libreoffice defaults to, and the older proprietary office formats as well. Compatibility seems better than FreeOffice, and LibreOffice, at least with my test templates. It actually seems pretty much identical to how MS office renders the same document.

In terms of interface, Onlyoffice isn't as customizable as LibreOffice: you only get a ribbon interface, and you can't change what's displayed in each toolbar. The ribbon will use a dedicated color for each program, if you use the light theme, so they're still easy to differentiate. Onlyoffice also supports interface scaling, with factors ranging from 100% to 200% with 25% increments.

Now we come to another non open source office suite, WPS Office. You get a word processor, a spreadsheet module, and a presentation module, and you also get a PDF viewer. It offers deb and RPM packages, and it's also available on flathub, and as a snap.

In terms of compatibility, WPS opens older office docs, newer office docs, as well as their own format. Compatibility seems good, at least with openXML formats, although a little bit less perfect than OnlyOffice. It should be good enough for most people.

🚨100s of ppl have already been killed across the US in storms incl deadly tornadoes -many of which were inaccurately forecasted. We're entering peak hurricane season. Meteorologist Vagasky: “The world’s example for weather svcs is being destroyed.”

After severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in TX -TX officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Trump’s gutted #NWS.

Trump's weakened NWS,🚨warnings from May & June:

"Staff vacancies hit Texas weather offices as they brace for a busy hurricane season.

In Houston, 44% of #NWS positions are vacant."

“Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life,” wrote 5 former NWS directors from both Democratic & Republican admins in an open letter on May 2nd."

Thanks to The Times newspaper for this shocking photo of the sickening, deadly terrorism being carried out by the notorious 83yo Reverend Sue Parfitt.

Due to the prompt and courageous response of the Metropolitan Police, Rev Parfitt and her fellow terrorists are now securely detained under his Britanic Majesty's Terrorism Act.
