https://github.com/Euro-Office/DesktopEditors/releases
The DesktopEditors github repo appears to have actual releases now, with multiple download options for various Linux distros, plus Windows and MacOS. While some refinement may still be needed, this represents a usable release without requiring manual building.
Eurooffice… Is it just rebranded onlyoffice?
It’s a fork.
Why FascistHub tho?
Because every other option is objectively worse in one way or another.
The only upside to other options is basically just a moral one. And at a point you kinda have to stop giving a damn about morals and just use what works if you don’t want to endlessly waste time and tax payer money.
It just is what it is unfortunately.
Did you really just think and write “just” a moral option?
And at a point you kinda have to stop giving a damn about morals and just use what works
No. That’s how you get fascism.
Idk, after github’s UI rewrite and constant outages codeberg feels like an upgrade.

Do they support actual standards, or are they insisting on implementing a broken version of Microsoft’s format?

I do not understand why they used OnlyOffice as a starting point rather than LibreOffice. I’m guessing because it can be embedded in web shit? I can see why NextCloud pushed for it.

Libreoffice also has a web version that desperately could use the effort going into forking “Russian"Office.

Yeah lol, f*** them for trying to be less dependant on American tech am I right?
ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Less dependent on American tech would be to stop promoting an American format as a first choice.

I believe there’s gonna be some reverse engineering until they’re gonna have parity

That’s a losing game because Microsoft will just break things on their side again.
