LibreOffice ceases the development of 32-bit builds for Linux

Posted on

The Document Foundation announced the cessation of the formation of 32-bit binary builds of LibreOffice for Linux. The change will take effect starting with version 6.3, which is expected on August 7. The reason cited is the low demand for such builds, which does not justify the resources spent on their compilation, testing, maintenance, and distribution. The majority of Linux users install LibreOffice from distributions, rather than […]

Homer or the first in history Open Source. Part 1

Posted on

It seems that Homer with his epics is something distant, archaic, difficult to read, and naïve. But that's not true. We are all permeated by Homer and the ancient Greek culture from which all of Europe emerged: our language is rich with words and quotes from ancient Greek literature. Just consider expressions like 'Homeric laughter,' 'the battle of the gods,' 'Achilles' heel,' 'the apple of discord,' and our native: […]
