That cell was the only formula -- all other cells were static amounts with no more than two places. Huh? 2/2

I just spent 30m chasing a penny in #LibreOffice Calc while updating a cash flow forecast. One of the cells was a simple formula (99% of an amount, formatted as currency). The displayed result was $11.74. But a subsequent formula that summed that cell with some others apparently came to a different conclusion, reducing the amount by 0.01, causing my sum to differ from the bank statement by a penny even though all of the individual transaction amounts matched. 1/2

I think this was probably a smart strategic decision to shut down given present circumstances but FFS: https://www.npr.org/2026/01/06/nx-s1-5668292/the-corporation-for-public-broadcasting-votes-to-end-operations

I worry that, like with other kinds of public infrastructure, we won't ever find the resolve to restore it, much less be bold with new similar initiatives.

Renewed my @conservancy sustainership. I wish I could do more, but I can at least do that. I'm looking forward to more Outreachy internships, more OpenWRT One type devices, more copyleft advocacy, and more FOSSY in 2026!

Donations to @fdroidorg enabled a massive improvement in infrastructure -- app updates are now built and pushed out much more frequently (up to twice daily right now??)! A great example of how your financial contributions lead directly to meaningful improvements benefitting every user.
