the only problem with onlyoffice is that it's electron.

No, they're negative.

Chromium embedded framework, not electron. Similar concept, though.

~~Ehh, I'm fairly sure it's not. It certainly wasn't in the past. When do you believe that changed?~~

Never mind, you were talking about OO, not LO, my bad.

Onlyoffice is apparently Russian, "headquartered" in Latvia.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

what does it even mean to be russian then?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You know, almost entirely staffed by Russians (outside of Latvia), the executive suite is Russian, shareholders are Russian, etc.

Like have you guys never heard of companies being "headquartered" in the Cayman Islands?

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Sure, now why would that be a factor for choosing a software or not.

You didn't choose the country you were born in anymore than they did.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

yes, very much

if your only argument is the nationality of the people involved, it's a bad one.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If you haven't noticed there's a war going on. This is the weirdest conversation I've had, at best you're playing the fool. I'm out.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

yes, and developers are civilians.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

And who do they pay taxes to? Russia. JFC why do I bother. Ciao.

So Libre Office is free?

If it does what regular office suit does i would happily pay 300 dollars for it to have it as mine and not be fucked with

[-] redshift@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 months ago

Free forever, and works great.

Is this your first exposure to FOSS? If so, you are in for a treat. There’s a whole world of free, open source software out there for you to enjoy.

Yeah, it’s 100% free.

[-] excral@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

Free and open source, but if you're willing to pay, you could donate to the project.

I need to try onlyoffice again. The last time I tried, was the original beta, and it was faulty (being a first release beta, and all)

[-] Sparky 4 points 3 months ago

Oh onlyoffice works great! It's spreadsheet function is far less buggy than excel and it's smooth and snappy.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 5 points 3 months ago

Sweet! I've been using MS at work (required) and Libre at home (because screw MS). I'll give Only another go!
