What do you think the odds are this platform was put together with react?

Edit: have a better informed opinion after reading this ariticle. Support every instance that doesn’t federate with them, shun those that do.

I remember Microsoft's dismantling (knee capping) of libre office, and enjoyed the read on XXMP. How quickly people forget the past or think they are different to withstand monopolies cutthroat strategies.

What do you think of LibreOffice today? I use it because I don’t want to install Microsoft crap if I don’t have to.

I work primarily on Ubuntu, last I tried .xslx and .docx it was a buggy mess of macros and various features not working/porting over. Which is exactly what the article articulated, embrace, expand, destroy.

Ah, yeah, there’s some stuff that doesn’t work which can be a little frustrating sometimes.

It seems to be getting better but probably not enough for advanced users yet.

It’s annoying Microsoft succeeded.

That was an excellent read, and exactly what I've been thinking regarding Meta joining.
