To add to this, I'm also very cognizant that most people, when finding a "How to do XYZ" guide online don't want to read someone's life story and how they were inspired by a trip to Venice and then spend sixteen paragraphs and 2,000 words writing about that trip before getting to the recipe or guide...

This is why we keep our introductions short on all our How Tos - usually just some minimal background and prep before diving in. We save the longer stuff (history of the drink, where it's popular, variations, etc) for AFTER the how to steps.

I mention this, because adding the guide revisions bit adds more content before the actual step by step guide, and I'm not sure about placing it there. I might put it at the end of the guide.

From /u/Udzu on Reddit: The numbers 0-99 sorted alphabetically in English, French, Spanish and German.

(German confirmed to be a scrambling algorithm masquerading as a language.)

wikipedia has so many gems, but this has to be one of the best.

related, English is such a clusterfuck, what a crazy language

but also I'm completely obsessed with heteronyms, they're the best thing ever

@dansup @pixelfed some people will hate any change, some people will hate not enough change. you can't really keep these folk happy. so manage expectations and get on with your roadmap. but as long as the changes, don't get in people's way, make sense, and there is enough communication for most people there will be some grumbling but they will be fine

Our next major release will be #LibreOffice 24.2 (with new "year.month" version scheme), in February. And it has usability improvements, thanks to our community!
