Is OOXML Artifically Complex? A while ago, the official blog of LibreOffice published a provocative article: “An artificially complex XML schema as a lock-in tool.” Its target is Microsoft’s XML-based file formats — the Office Open XML (OOXML). The article alleges that, although Microsoft put its Office formats through standardization, the spec is engineered to be so complex that it obstructs interoperability with third-party software.

Last week, I wrote about how Joshua Aaron's ICEBlock app, which allows people to anonymously report ICE sightings within a 5-mile radius, is – unfortunately, and despite apparent good intentions – activism theater. This was based on Joshua's talk at HOPE where he made it clear that he isn't taking the advice of local community groups, that ICE sightings aren't verified in any way, and that he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to security and privacy.
