I meant to write: That's how we are made / that's the matter we are made of. I don't know the correct way to formulate it, I'll take suggestions.

I think cheating is acceptable in general. That's how we are done, and it does not cause real harm to anyone. In the past you'd considered a cheating partner or divorced parents to be a shame, but that's not the case anymore in many parts of the Western world. There could be cases where cheating is NOT acceptable, for example if you're very religious (of a religion that views cheating negatively), or if there is a risk that the new partner transmits an STD through the cheating partner, to the non-cheating one.

That was long ago. I'm literally that guy today and there are no problems. I edit and send files back to colleagues, customers, managers, CEO. I use to use my separate MS Office laptop and check if my files opened fine, I don't do it anymore. There are no complains, and people don't even know I'm not using same things as them.

I do have a rare issue where LO incorrectly reads the crop settings of pictures from particular DOCX files and I need to set the crop manually before saving. That's about it.

This is about LibreOffice. There's nothing complex about it, or nothing more complex than MS Office. Try it, it just works. The interface is convergent with at least the older versions of MS Office (I don't know the more recent so I can't tell about them).
Compatibility... have you tried LibreOffice? It is MORE compatible with (older) MS Office documents than MS Office itself.

FYI it's in "View" -> "User Interface..."

You CAN'T be surprised Italy has laws. Italy INVENTED law a we know it. The Twelve Tables, promulgated 449 BCE were the first written laws of the western world (earlier code of laws have existed, e.g. the Sumerian Code of Ur-Nammu but they disappeared and had no later influence). Not only Italy defined the concept of "lex" (5th Century BCE as a "de-LEG-ation", 3rd Century BCE as normative content of popular assemblies), Italy also started TEACHING the foundations of law, after the Justinian Code, compiled 528, was rediscovered in Bologna in 1070.

It certainly is possible to devise sarcasm about Italy. Commenting about a supposed lack of laws isn't showing education. Reminds of the humorous incipit of Dom Juan by Moliere, where lackey Sganarel tries to showing education (and fails): "Whatever Aristotle and the whole Body of Philosophers may say, there's nothing comparable to Tobacco" (trad. John Watts, 1739)

This isn't a price tag. This is the cost of running a covert operation to exfiltrate thousand of people in government aircrafts. But it does not mean this huge value was paid to someone in particular. Mostly it's accounting for the cost of their army to fly their own aircraft. Maybe they account for the salary of the soldiers who took part. But those soldiers would have been paid anyway. Maybe they account for the depreciation of the aircraft. But if the aircraft was not really damaged then it's not really a cost.

"TV" isn't in the name. You can rightfully complain about "plasma", but that's not Bigscreen's fault. I think "KDE plasma" was never intended to be used on plasma screen technology (computer screens were LCD not plasmas), it's just a name they chose in 2008 when KDE became an umbrella project and the DE needed a name.

Or maybe they chose to pay for Collabora Online (cloud version of LibreOffice) https://www.collaboraonline.co...

Come on. Superman would be basically a super-policeman. When police manages to capture criminals without harm, there is no a mob yelling "kill him!!!". It might have happened in the past, at least according to stereotypes, but not now, or at least not at the level of an expectation. Superman picking up a criminal to deliver it to the authorities would be no different than a policeman with a perfect bulletproof jacket.
