"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are never transmitted to remote services and no component requires network access to function. The suite includes no advertising, no telemetry, no subscription and no account requirement, unlike some well-known proprietary office suites." #LibreOffice #opensource #odf #openstandards https://www.slwoods.co.uk/?p=17192
