--- Comment #4 from Kush Srivastava <[email protected]> --- Disclaimer: I am an assoc. member for the FSF, and genuinely believe in libre software. I am also new to understanding more on how Libreoffice works, but I have been a long time user (since 2015, at least), and use it on all my platforms (Alpine, Windows, and Mac). I am also new to contributing here. I second this bug, and the opinion that Apple Intelligence features should be implemented (which really just require Libreoffice to implement view windows that can be detected by the system). I do not know how feasible this is with Libreoffice, given that it uses it's own rendering engine, but having the feature available will be very beneficial to the vast majority of people wanting to use Libre software suites on Mac. On top of the comments mentioned above: * All writing tools on Apple Intelligence are on-device, and private. You get an option for when you want to send data to Apple's servers, but even then, this is the best server implementation I have seen. Refer to (https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/), where it can be seen that data is private, removed, and the servers themselves have zero privileged access or a shell. Also the server architecture and code is open to all for research purposes. (https://security.apple.com/blog/pcc-security-research/) * Writing tools do not explicitly need to be "implemented" in Libreoffice. As long as we're using a native way of rendering text, or making sure the system can detect text in our rendering engine. Clearly, there are steps taken from Apple to actually showcase that data is not stored/mined, users explicitly send data to the server if needed (and only for complex tasks like image generation), and writing tools are 100% locally run and stored, with their back-end open for scrutiny...I would love to see why this may not be viable. Especially, if it is something regarding how LibreOffice renders the UI, or how it runs on the Mac. I also believe that if we were to go down this route, a good option would be to have this be an opt in feature, instead of opt out. Open to hearing new thoughts on this matter. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
