That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying Collaboras implementation is fundamentally unfit for use.

I used to host a CODE server.

It ran like shit, because it works by rendering the viewport on the remote system, not the client. Instead you essentially send every input to the server, wait for it to render the change, and then send that back to the client. Collabora is like using office software through vnc. Except all the time.

The responsiveness is atrocious. Especially if you try to use it over a less than ideal connection.

But it's just fucking text data. It shouldn't require the same infrastructure as remote gaming to be usable. It should be able to handle multiple seconds of latency, and just sync back up without the user ever noticing.

But it can't. Because it RENDERS on the server. Which means the tiniest hiccup in the connection between server and user causes noticable issues.

Generally I'd agree, but I'm suspicious about this one because the original announcement doesn't have that kind of wording.

It's FOSS seems to have added marketing speak when reporting on the announcement, and the phrase "It's not X, it's Y" is a very common affectation with the current models

of course the marketing speak release note is going to sound like AI marketing speak

Weird. Because I'm not talking about the release note; I'm talking about It's FOSS' commentary on the release note. I read LibreOffice's 26.8 blog post, and as someone who's written a release blog before, it looks like a human wrote it. You'd think it wouldn't if "of course it's going to sound like AI marketing speak".

Did you read what I wrote that you think I'm talking about the marketing note for LibreOffice 26.8?

Because the particular cadence and style looks like ChatGPT output. It follows a particular pattern of "it's not x; it's y". In this case, the

This isn't an oversight; it's a promise.

doesn't even make sense from a literary standpoint. It's perfectly formatted with the semicolon (which few humans understand how to use) and the boldface that excludes the full stop, but it just doesn't mean anything at all. It just follows the style template.

The next sentence ("... if your work can't leave the building ... the only way to prove that later ... is if the software never gave it anywhere to go") also doesn't make any sense. No person writes like that. Like what? It sure sounds reassuring but really, what am I supposed to understand from this? That LibreOffice is an offline app? Yes but who the fuck would explain it that way?

We know this is likely ChatGPT in particular because of how it uses emojis: opening sections, terminating conclusions, but never interspersed into a paragraph (which is something a certain segment of humans tend to do).
