Linux@lemmy.ml•LibreOffice 24.8.4 releasedEnglish
51·1 year agoNot immediately up-to-date at all times, but I use backports. Looks like they’re only a point release behind still. https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-backports/libreoffice
The only time it gets behind by a full version is if Debian Stable is really long in the tooth and Backports can’t compile something due to a compiler or library being really old or if Backports hasn’t been created yet because Stable is young.

Technology@lemmy.world•How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save moneyEnglish

Linux@lemmy.ml•Issues filling forms in PDFsEnglish
5·2 years agoI’ve been a user of Master PDF for years now. It’s my go-to for PDF markup in Linux. Their yearly renewal can be kinda wonky, but their customer service has been excellent.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your favorite fonts for technical reports?English
2·2 years agoI was going to say use the old timey fixed width typewriter fonts that the US Army Corps uses (PDF page 5 and beyond), but I guess that they’ve switched to Times New Roman.
Maybe use open source fonts like DejaVu and Liberation?




I don’t use my TLR lenses as often, so storing is a concern. SLR lenses are more cylindrical, so they’re easier to store on end so they don’t roll around. TLR lenses are more brick shaped; also, the lens ID info is printed on the top of Mamiya TLR lenses. I’ll probably just fit them in the storage bag however they fit best.
