Agora (Greek) is an open place for markets and people to assemble for
various purposes, like a town square.
Agorism
- Social philosophy advocating creating a society with voluntary
exchanges and relations between people via aspects of
counter-economics and nonviolent revolution.
Do-ocracy
- An organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and
tasks for themselves and execute them wherein responsibilities attach
to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/Do-ocracy
FOEPATCHISM
- Fair, Open, Ethical, Peaceful, Accountable, Transparent, Consistent,
Honest, Inclusive Social Management - for collaborators, communities,
families, governments, groups, homes, organizations, social media,
societies, teams, workplaces, etc. "Foe" = enemy; "patch" = correction. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/FOEPATCHISM
Libertas = autonomy, freedom, sovereignty.
Phylaxis
- (medical) The protection against infection.
- (defensive) Guarding against cultural destruction, cyber warfare,
ideological subversion, malicious infiltration, medical tyranny,
political corruption, psychological operations, wealth theft, and
weaponized migration.
Voluntaryism
- Peaceful life without rulers, yet with social rules.
- The common sense idea that all forms of human association should be voluntary...
with the assertion that any act of violence [or coercion] other than self defense,
whether by an individual or organization, is illegitimate and unlawful. - Voluntary interactions - without rulers rather than supporting and suffering
under mafia governments and corporatocracy's monopoly on violence.
This includes what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own wallets,
bedrooms, bodies, businesses, and communities. - http://Projex.Wiki/wiki/Meaningful_liberty#Voluntaryism
My heroes.
Personally I like OnlyOffice. I think we should get behind recommending it to people new to Linux. It's a 99.9% replica of Microsoft office. LibreOffice is closer to 90% similar. But that 10% can be enough to make people not want to get out of windows. But once you drop in a perfect replica there is no excuse.
You are running the same web browser, the basically same office software, steam with proton making nearly all Windows games work and run faster. It's the same thing but it boots 20x faster, windows open and close without hang time, it's not spying on you, and updates don't get in your way.
So while I appreciate everything LibreOffice has done, when you swap it, it's the last piece to say Linux is undeniably better than Windows.
When LibreOffice is assumed to be a part of a noob's first exposure we can't confidently say that because you can't say that LibreOffice is equal or better to Excel. The second we swap it as the default installed application we're going to double the flow of people coming over.
Yeah but the advanced features/functions of Excel only a big business or accountants need. Libreoffice Calc is good enough for the home user and student who don't use advanced features/functions.
