Best thing about Libre Office... if it doesn't suit their needs, they can invest in improving it :)

I've seen suggestions that livestock can actually be a key component to carbon sequestration, if done correctly. I think it was mentioned in the documentary Kiss the Ground, narrated by Woody Harrelson, but I may be wrong. I believe the gist was that no-till farming and managed grazing helps to save the topsoil, sequester more carbon dioxide, and make something like cattle farming effectively carbon-negative (ie, they're actually helping to mitigate climate change). I'd recommend watching if you haven't, it shows some compelling examples such as a farmer who's the only one in his area farming this way, and he's also the only one who's having successful harvests while being environmentally conscious.

Also, farmed livestock don't automatically exist in a "living hell". Factory farms, yeah, but a properly-managed ranch should have happy, healthy animals.

Ah yes, the ole "two wrongs DO make a right" argument

Even if true, this comment isn't really conducive of a constructive or interesting conversation.

It's the false positives that make it useless. Even if it's generally very good at detecting AI, the fact that it can and does throw false positives (and pretty frequently) means that nothing it says means anything.

That makes sense, thank you!

Could you elaborate? I may very well just be ignorant on the topic.

I understand that if you write machine code and run it in your operating system, your operating system actually handles its execution (at least, I _think_ I understand that), but in what way does it have little to do with what the CPU is doing?

For instance, couldn't you still run that same code on bare metal?

Again, sorry if I'm misunderstanding something fundamental here, I'm still learning lol

is there any particular reason it couldn't have been done in C? I'm having a little trouble believing these claims

PTSD seems a bit of a stretch in my (perhaps uneducated opinion), but he's definitely been under a pile of stress that he's internalizing more than he should be.

I didn't even know what the whole issue with the "thin blue line" comment was until I read this thread. I was never under the impression "thin blue line" was about corruption or brutality, I think people are conflating "thin blue line" with "blue lives matter", which is an entirely different subject.
