     @TopKnot The difference is that LibreOffice 24.2 is newer and has all of these extra features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9pMn4cffs – So yes, we recommend it 😊

     What is the difference between 7.6 and 24.8.

     What I'm really asking is, "should I install 24.2 as a user or stay with 7.6." FYI: I like to experiment and mess around with new features I discover in Writer/Calc.

     @libreoffice call me an old fashioned retrogrouch whiner, but when I think of how many hours of time you could have saved putting this figure as an indented text list
     my head hurts

     @failedLyndonLaRouchite Sorry to hear about your headache – but don't worry. It took a couple of minutes to make, not hours 😉

     @AxelStieglbauer Hi! Some people in the community are working on an extension (which is purely optional, of course): https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/41988

     Unpopular / controversial opinion:
     Everybody and their dog is integrating AI features into their software. Are there some ideas for LO in that direction? Like connecting to AIs running locally or on other computers?

     Some meaningful features (IMHO):
     - Summarizing documents.
     - Rewriting marked text (e.g. in easy language).
     - Finding mistakes and suggesting corrections.
     - Help assistant: How do I ... ; In column C, I want to ...
     - Unobtrusive help suggestions (Clippy, but in good.)
