Just curious… why do you think that? We have been using LibreOffice in our company for 20+ years, exchanging files with customers and vendors who use MS Office in all its versions during this time. We never had a problem…

I don’t see how this addresses the issue of browser fingerprinting. All the browsers I’ve used have very distinct fingerprints regardless of whether anonymous/incognito mode is on or off.

A couple of decades ago, I was on a commercial aircraft and sat next to a man who occasionally puffed something into his nostrils. It turned out that he was a researcher at Ft. Detrick, and he explained that keeping your nasal passages moist with saline spray helped to keep out germs. I’ve been using saline sprays ever since!

I grew up in Tasmania, immersed in bush fire smoke during summers. As I travelled through the US and other places, I thought I was going nuts because I kept seeing trees that shouldn’t be there at all. Now I know why…

When you get stands of gum (eucalyptus) trees, you also get fast spreading tree-top fires since the living leaves of gum burn ferociously. Gum trees in urban areas or non-native areas are bad, bad news.
