Guys, Septembers coming.
We need to respect Billie Joe.
For people who don’t know what the song ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’ is about, its about Billie Joe’s father passing.
Next month, respect Billie Joe, and the members of Green Day.
Please pass it on.

you know OpenOffice, right? free substitute for Microsoft Office which is basically just as good, but free.
well, it’s not as good. and is in fact actively dangerous to use.
the security hole: HWP files can be exploited and pwn your PC. obscure minor format, no problem … except that if you get a HWP file with a .DOC extension - say, what appears to be a MS Word file emailed you by anyone - you can get pwned by that.
they’ve known about this since april 2015 and haven’t fixed it. they have distributed over 8 million known-vulnerable copies of AOO since 27 april. (and the 143 million vulnerable before that.)
the fix is, literally, remove one file from the installer. they haven’t got it together to do this in five months.
tell everyone you know. tell your writer friends. tell your family with that old copy. tell anyone you see running OpenOffice. get LibreOffice, it also originated in OpenOffice but is actually developed and they show the slightest sign of caring about their end users. LO 5.0 is really very nice. much faster to use than 4.4 too.
so what’s going on here:
Sun Microsystems (mild yay) ran OpenOffice from 2000 to 2010. it was imperfect, but it was good enough and free and open-source. it accumulated one heck of a famous brand name. (“we need an office program” “how about that openoffice thing”)
Oracle (boo hiss!) bought Sun in early 2010. OpenOffice development stopped as they reassigned developers.
a bunch of non-Sun/Oracle developers went “bugger this” and forked it (‘cos it was open source) in late 2010. thus, LibreOffice, which immediately became stupidly better.
Oracle had a snit and shoved the corpse of OpenOffice at the Apache Foundation in mid-2011 at the behest of IBM, who wanted to do it their way.
Apache OpenOffice had nothing worth the trouble, but got downloads because of the famous “OpenOffice” brand name.
IBM gave up in late 2013. since then, AOO has literally been sixteen ex-Sun devs squatting the name and doing bugger-all with it. their reasons are unclear.
they insist they still have a product, even though what they’ve actually achieved has been to put over eight million downloads that they knew were vulnerable on people’s PCs. possibly your PC.
instead of fixing it, by removing one file from the installer, they post excuses for not doing stuff.
(if this sounds like a fascinating tale, feel free to check the extensively-cited history sections of the OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice articles on wikipedia, which i mostly researched and wrote.)
Apache OpenOffice’s lack of developers since IBM gave up is extensively documented. many have expressed concerns over the BLATANT SECURITY HOLE. in late august a Red Hat developer posted an open letter urging them to just give up the pretense and redirect the end users (that’s you) to LibreOffice. this had wide impact, and quite a pile of others concurred that they need to stop making life actively worse for the end users. the AOO people posted numerous comments making excuses … but they still distribute their known dangerous software and just won’t lift a finger to fix it.
tl;dr: get the hell off OpenOffice, get everyone you know the hell off OpenOffice. get LibreOffice, it is strictly superior in literally every dimension, and they actually give a damn about you the user and fix the security holes.

A yet-unknown gunman shot and killed two WDBJ7 reporters in Moneta, Virginia, Wednesday morning during a live television broadcast.
The reporter, 24-year-old Alison Parker, was interviewing a woman in the Bridgewater Plaza when the gunman came into the camera’s view and fired at least six shots, killing Parker and WDBJ7’s 27-year-old photographer, Adam Ward.

From The Crayon Initiative website:
“The wax from crayons is not biodegradable and will never break down, leaving a waxy sludge in our landfills for centuries to come. The Crayon Initiative supports environmental efforts by diverting crayons from the landfills.”
“Annually, between 45,000 and 75,000 pounds of broken crayons are discarded in landfills throughout the country. By collecting unwanted crayons from restaurants, schools, as well as other locations, and recycling them into new ones, The Crayon Initiative is doing our part to prevent crayons from depositing in the landfill.“
Here’s how you can help out by spreading the word or collecting crayons from schools and restaurants in your town.

If you don’t know my home situation which in turn ties into my financial situation I don’t have a lot of incoming money, and while I have been able to pay off bills most of the time it’s with the help of friends or donations. I’m on a plan with my energy company to help cut the cost down, however due to an error on their website my payment last month was delayed and as a result I’ve been kicked off the energy plan. While I’ve been on the phone with them since I’ve received the notice, nothing has helped and every state financial assistance program I’ve been to in the city is just legitimately out of assets to help people because of a lack of funding.
I’ve been able to get about $150 bucks so far, and I’ve managed to get the energy company to only want $1015 to put me back on the plan and avoid a shut off of my lights and electricity. Honestly I’m at the end of my rope in regards to this, my sisters have moved out after months of living here and not paying on bills and it’s just a mess. I haven’t eaten in a bit to scrape everything I can toward paying this, and if you can help out in anyway you can or just spread the word I’d be really fucking grateful.
My paypal is beiialedge@aol.com, like I said if you can just spread the word I’m more than grateful.
