I use all of these but I still have to use Google Voice and Maps because they are just superior to everything else imo. And sometimes gmail because certain website logins are locked to my old Gmail’s.
I always find it amusing how everyone makes these statements for Russian/Chinese software but never look at the government interest in Facebook, Google etc
… no shit bud, we’re litterally discussing alternatives to these platforms here. We know my dude. That’s why we’re finding alternatives.
Russia has one hell of alot more ability to do this to random pieces of tech in their control than the US by the way, same with china. That’s public and written into their laws. Not as much in the US.
Though, yes, finding a company outside of the 5 eyes is a good idea, we are not the “everyone” you’re talking about. Fuck man, we’re on lemmy for gods sake
Nope. I have met the team from OnlyOffice. Really good people. Always helpful and always friendly. And nothing is beneath them when it gets to support.
task.org seems to be an oldschool under-construction page, do you mean tasks.org? Also is there a reason you specifically recommend OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice or Collabora Office?
Yes it’s tasks.org. I misspelled it. Also, I use only office in conjunction with collabora. I self host the only office server straight from my PC. I always get open office and only office mixed up.
Maybe something changed recently, but it’s not like keep from what I remember. Keep has easy to use lists, embedded images, card layout. I do love the simplicity of markdown though.
You’re welcome. And yes Magic Earth is what I use. Maybe you skipped by it in my list. But sometimes I go back to Maps when I’m somewhere unknown and don’t want to get lost in the sauce lol
gotcha, I did skip to the bottom and see the bit about still using g00gly maps. been on graphene os for about 18-19 months now and Magic Earth keeps getting better and better.

Not open office, use libre office.
Actually I use only office (not open office) with collabora apps on my android and iphone. I always get the two names mixed up.
Not Libra Office, Only Office. After all we are replacing Google, so we need integrated collab (without an RDP hack).
OnlyOffice is run by Russians.
Is everyone in Russia responsible for the actions of their government?
No, but totalitarian governments tend to get into everything, and a popular piece of software is something they will be interested in.

Nextcloud has a notes feature now that is pretty much comparable to keep. Has its own app too

I since converted to joplin, love it.
