  • Does anyone have any go-to resources to help with scripting LibreOffice Calc? I do not need to convert Excel/VBA scripts for use with LibreOffice; I am fine writing things from scratch. But learning VBA at work was incredibly easy because I could just do a generic Internet search for what I want to do, and there would be a dozen different help posts and articles with detailed explanations and exact code to solve the problem with VBA. But on the LibreOffice Calc side, I cannot find much useful information, for either BASIC or Python.




  • And nope, not named after the Farscape character…

    Pronounced like “Erin”, it’s a name that we feel is more befitting of the project. Pulling from multiple etymologies, it’s a name that better describes the project now versus the project that started as Serpent OS.

    “Aer” is rather obvious, Latin in origin. The phonetic “Erin” is a nod to the Irish roots of the project, and of course a home. There are a number of reasons for the name, which will form part of the initial documentation on the new website.

    Our intent is to have a name that is more inviting, and more descriptive of the project’s goals and aspirations. We’re not anti-establishment or anti-corporation - if anything, we’re a statement that without the fiscal handcuffs, we can produce a technically sound and user-friendly operating system.

    What does AerynOS mean and how do I pronounce it?

    AerynOS is a stylised spelling of “Erin”, alluding to the project’s Irish roots. It is pronounced exactly the same as “Erin” - “AIR-in” OS. It’s also a play on “aer” and the phonetic “air” sound, indicative of our desire to produce an open, trusted and high-performance operating system.

    It’s pronounced as “AIR-in” OS.




  • Hmm, I think this is an Mbin vs Lemmy issue. There are two differences in the URL:

    1. The broken URL has %2C instead of ,. This part does not make a difference, because that resolves to a comma anyway
    2. The broken URL has = at the very end for some reason. This is what breaks it. Remove that character, and the URL works fine

    The weird thing here is that the broken URL only ever shows up on Mbin. Below are a few different links to the comment in which you shared the broken URL. If you view the comment on your Mbin instance, it is indeed broken. But if you view it on this community’s Lemmy instance or my home instance, your same comment actually has the working URL. Something about how the post/comment were federated must have messed things up.
