you can say this about literally every tech company these days.
very true; capitalists will always capital.
Which is why we support Open Source like Firefox, Thunderbird, GIMP, NextCloud, LibreOffice and a whole lot more. :-)
Any good VPNs big dawg?
I don't need VPN... Sorry mate.
With euro office coming up, there was some musing that libre office has Russian roots, does that change the equation any?
It's Euro-Office that might have Russians roots. Do get the facts straight. ;-)
LibreOffice is the only real free and open, open source office suite out there.
From what I understood: ONLYOFFICE is a fork of Libre Office by a russian company. NextCloud was using ONLYOFFICE for its built-in cloud office suite replacement. Then they forked it with others to have greater control on the software with no communication whatsever to the company developing ONLYOFFICE without respecting their questionnable trademark restriction within ONLYOFFICE licence which I am still unsure if it was compatible with GPL licence Libre Office is using.
I'd cut nextcloud from that list
As long as it is open source, then there's not much to worry about. ;-)
Why?
