Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Office EU - Europe's Open-Source Productivity Suite
7·7 months agoAnswering my own question, here is a link to a blog post from The Document Foundation, https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/27/odf-is-the-future-ooxml-is-the-past/. The criticism of The Document Foundation centers around the use of Microsoft OOXML format in OnlyOffice instead of the truly open ODF standard in LibreOffice.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Office EU - Europe's Open-Source Productivity Suite
13·7 months agoThat was my first thought too. Apparently Euro-office is based on OnlyOffice. According to Nextcloud and IONOS “Libre Office is 35 years old and no longer the most innovative and fluid”. For more detail: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Microsoft-alternative-Nextcloud-and-Ionos-develop-open-source-Euro-Office-11228123.html. I would like to hear what The Document Foundation thinks about this.

3·1 year agoI totally agree. On a personal level the least we can do to be helpful by donating e.g to the International Rescue Committee (https://www.rescue.org/) or by letting our voice be heard.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit?English
2·3 years agoSolvespace is a FLOSS light weight 3D CAD alternative. Although it lacks the advanced features of Solidworks works really great for most of my 3d designs.
Thanks for the tip.
Another good use for VPN is to counter dynamic pricing. My wife visited a website some time ago to request the price for a ticket. When she visited the website a second time the price had increased considerably. However when visiting the price with VPN it was the original price again. It saved her a lot of money.

5·3 years agoI’m pessimistic about the chances to stop this. People in the EU are more and more living in an era where privacy is a thing of the past and where every citizen is guilty unless proven otherwise. It has become clear that the EU is not working in the interest of civilians, as they are seen as a potential threat that needs to be monitored. It has become a oligarchy working for the rich.
For the people willing to resist we have p2p, onion services and privacy respecting free software to defend ourselves against these shameless attacks against our privacy.


Thanks for clearing that up. The similarity of the names is very confusing and had me completely fooled.
