Well, LibreOffice is more than Writer, its also Sheets and stuff, and I think Sheets is probably the most useful of all LibreOffice applications. That...

Well, LibreOffice is more than LibreOffice Writer, it Calc, Impress, and Draw.
I think LibreOffice Calc is quite nice, because spreadsheets you...

~50% lower size means ~50% more power to decode it, and ~150% more power to encode it?

I am not sure that setting works, maybe it does, I haven't used Weston in a long time.
Either way, an option to have it on left or right side would...

I just wish they replaced the animation with a bottom-up one like on Android and iOS instead of the one that folds diagonally from bottom-left to top...

I think that PHP is really nice, and it has improved hugely over the years and no longer deserves some of its past bad reputation.

With PHP...

Great idea!

GNU nano is very nice and easy to use. Vi is terrible, I have no idea how to use it, and I've used Linux since forever.

Yeah, 11.8 MB after you installed all the runtimes and dependencies. If you had a clean system, then installed that it would pull down the half a gigabyte...

I learnt some Perl back in the 90s reading source code to files published on hackers.com. Experimenting, toying, writing little scripts. It was much nicer,...
