Unasked & unanswered: over what range of myopia will these be effective? Minus 5, -7, -13? Can they handle astigmatism, either automatically or from an initial prescription? They need to send a high-myope reporter in to ask questions.
>The solution is a non-national global reserve, calculated on a basket of national currencies. This was Keynes argument at Bretton Woods, but the US would not have it then, and does not want it now.
But what does the US want now? It's government's actions are making it more difficult for other countries to trust it for the global reserve currency. If it really wanted manufacturing to return to it's shores, there's other ways to accomplish that without rewiring the global economy: carrots, not sticks.
"admitting" could also be in the sense of "disclosing". I wouldn't expect anyone, even an elected leader, to immediately disclose a health issue that requires some amount of understanding and decision-making.
There's a segment of the population that thinks he knew while he was running for president but didn't disclose or "admit" the issue to the public. Given that this is an aggressively metastatic cancer, and Biden's campaign ended nearly 10 months ago, I think that's implausible to the point of being ludicrous.
I started using OpenOffice a couple decades ago when I got tired of pirating the market leader. Not wanting to start any religious wars, but I still haven't made the leap to Libre.
It's extremely risky to keep using OpenOffice. Apache has marked its security status as "Amber" with "three issues in OpenOffice over 365 days old and a number of other open issues not fully triaged."
It's also worrying that The Apache Foundation continues to promote and distribute OpenOffice despite unfixed security issues and zero updates to the software. So many people in the FOSS world have called on them to finally retire it, put it in the Attic and keep up a good reputation for FOSS - but they won't do it. It still gets hundreds of thousands of downloads despite being unfixed.
BTW, anyone concerned can email apache at apache dot org and ask why they're still distributing OpenOffice despite vulnerabilities. A few people on Mastodon have done that but gotten no answers yet. The more pressure there is to put it in the Attic, the sooner this awful situation will end...
I'd recommend switching, OpenOffice is basically abandonware. There's been security issues that were reported over a year ago that have gone unaddressed. If you look at OpenOffice's git repo (https://github.com/apache/openoffice), the vast majority of the commits are from two people who solely focus on manually fiddling with the code formatting and fixing typos in the comments.
It's so impressively underhandedly sneaky how Microsoft named their ODF-competitor format “Office Open” just as the OO.o hype peaked with OO.o 2.0 having ODF as its native format, when MSOffice finally had a viable and popular competitor for like the first time ever lol
I don't want to start any wars either, but I think people should make informed choices.
By choosing OpenOffice, you should be aware that you are at an increased risk for attacks. One of the consistent problems with OpenOffice over the past years has been that they have often not published security fixes for many months, sometimes critical ones, for vulnerabilities that were publicly known.
(Due to the shared codebase, obviously, many security issues affect both LO/OO, yet, with the difference that LO usually fixes them in a timely manner.)
My HP 1320m Laser Printer is still printing after 20 years. No streaks or blotches. It has issues when drawing paper from the lower tray, but still printing and duplexing fine. No proper drivers for newer OSX versions, but the generic driver is working fine. I usually use 600dpi, but it's fine with 1200dpi (and so am I).
Available to devices "with iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4." Apple, yet again: you must, MUST upgrade, whether you want to or not. Apple will rearrange buttons for no discernible reason and change behaviors without giving any setting to adjust them.
Have you come into the scenario where a doctor's office is trying to find your medical records? Or a hospital? Or an emergency room, trying to fetch them from an office in another town or country? Better to have a good attitude than not, but the phrase "it's all fun and games till someone loses an eye" comes to mind.
And, somehow, the smell of my mom's fresh-baked bread ties in with my adult sense of the odor of alcohol to say--yeah, there was some alcohol there, even if a small amount.
I see discussion that the OP was about headshots for a different frame of reference, but passport/visa photos are an interesting comparable. Every country has their own standard (dimensions, framing, glasses/no glasses, smiling/not, etc). Although they might not vary too much, it used to be easier for an international traveler to go to a "passport photo" shop (as I did, years ago), but now, as you point out, it's a problem that can be solved with a computer.
