    My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.

    I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.

    But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.


  • At least in feddit (main German instance) there were a lot of posts offering up financial support, but it was declined because it was not needed.

    I think especially the smaller communities wouldn’t have a problem coming with funds for hosting. Donations for lemmy developers have also increased significantly since the main exodus.

    I get your scepticism, but I think the lemmy community for the most part wants this thing to “succeed” and is willing to chip in a reasonable amount.








  • In the case of Ames, yes there was.

    From Wikipedia

    The CIA also realized that, despite Ames’ annual salary being $60,000, he could afford:

    A $540,000 house in Arlington, Virginia, paid for in cash

    A $50,000 Jaguar luxury car

    Home remodeling and redecoration costs of $99,000

    Monthly phone bills exceeding $6,000, mostly calls by Ames’ wife to her family in Colombia

    Premium credit cards, on which the minimum monthly payment exceeded his monthly salary

    In March 1993, the CIA and FBI began an intensive investigation of Ames that included electronic surveillance, combing through his trash and the installation of a monitor in his car to track his movements. From November 1993 until his arrest, Ames was kept under virtually constant physical surveillance. When, in early 1994, he was scheduled to attend a conference in Moscow, the FBI believed it could wait no longer, and he and his wife were arrested on February 21
