And since TDF hired a developer for Base it’s time to investigate this module. We collected a couple of questions that address not only actual users of LibreOffice Base but also people who use other tools or no database at all.

But a groundbreaking new analysis finds these devices also routinely spoof themselves as mobile phones clicking ads on AI-generated websites as part of sprawling operation that seeks to defraud online merchants and advertising networks. https:// krebsonsecurity.com/2026/07/re ad-this-before-you-buy",

  "text": "The whole Hugging Face/Openai thing just reeks of scam. It's a publicity stunt, it helps keep them in the media, trying to scare people into being wowed by their horrible next word picker. folks are assuming that it must of happened... because they said so? If it happened, it would be fucking CFAA felony. And there's no way to know if it's totally cleaned up on HF's side, *that's not how compromises of infrastructure work*",

THAT’S WHY THEY ARE DESTROYING THE BOOKS. but let me go one step further… 🧵",
