While not a major breakthrough in terms of computing power, it's crazy to see that CPU can have more cache than desktop PC had hard drive space in the late 90s.

Not only organisations, but everyone really. The eldery are already massively targeted by scammers. Now, on top of that, scammers can find a child or grandchild voice sample on some social media and use that to ask for money over the phone. Or even via video call with deep fakes. And they can do that at scale.

It looks like they are shifting their focus on lower level desktop features. And they expect flatpack to be the main way to get LibreOffice on RHEL down the line.

That makes sense IMO. Linux desktop is currently lagging behind for anything related to visual arts (design, 2D/3D arts, photo/video editing, ...) because of the lack of HDR support. And this despite the great tools available on Linux (Blender, Krita).

So if they stop supporting the LibreOffice RPM, knowing there are alternatives, to focus on such features, then why not.

I liked the one about music. If you've read a few partition, you'll quickly realize music writing is more guidelines than actual rules. There are different ways to represent the same sequence of notes, and the choice made by the compositor conveys meaning. It's more akin to a short story than a math formula really. And so, you cannot represent music programmatically without allowing some free-form input somewhere.
