Important note OnlyOffice is basically Russian Software. The Company is majority Russian owned. So fuck them

I had to look that up, found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice#Organization:

> Based in Latvia, OnlyOffice owner Ascensio System SIA was a subsidiary of Russian-based New Communication Technologies. Due to EU economic sanctions targeting Russia, European organizations that used the commercial version of OnlyOffice were prohibited from doing so.

Wow. The EU got banned from Microsoft Office because of investigating America's genocide, and it banned itself from OnlyOffice because of Russia's genocide. No wonder they clamor for an EU office product.

One day I'd like to see people write the same regarding USA software companies.

Not defending Russia but pointing out the hypocrisy.

I mean I am European so I do try to remove my reliance on the US step by step but the US used to be an Ally so there is obviously a lot of Software still in use. Just changed my Audiobooks to selfhosted for example. Next goal replacing discord. Idk how well thats gonna go.
