Yes, I noticed that issue on my 2019 MBP with Chrome running HDR content on YouTube on Catalina (before Big Sur). At the same time, Safari was unable to play YouTube videos > 1080P, so it was kind of frustrating. Now, finally with this update, now able to watch 4k HDR YouTube content on my MBP. And use Safari only now on all my devices. Finally!

That's too bad. Yet there has not been an official release yet of LibreOffice which is compatible with Big Sur.
No, none. I sometimes wonder if I use my laptop enough
Yes Im trying out now MAMP 6.1 now, but it is quite expensive against Free Ammps, and basically does the same ting but looks more fancy and require more steps to do same thingTry MAMP in the mean time, that's been working all through the betas.
(Not tried the new version 6, yet)
Edit: MAMP 6.1 seems to work just fine.
Expensive?Yes Im trying out now MAMP 6.1 now, but it is quite expensive against Free Ammps, and basically does the same ting but looks more fancy and require more steps to do same thing

Same here, went through the screen sharing and remote desktop privileges which were set and relaunched VNC but it still shows a tiny black screen.
You have to go LibreOffice 7, which is the latest version. 6.0 is the latest stable version. You can think of 7.0 as a release candidate. However, this could be something different. Upgrade and see what happens.
I can't seem to EDIT, so apologies for the reply:
It works, but you need to Option-Open it since it is not from an Apple-approved developer.
