- Comment on What Nextcloud document service setup would you recommend? 4 weeks ago:
Latvia is partly involved, yes, but it’s also part Russian and recently moved to Singapore. You may find the history section on Wikipedia interesting; it also lists the russian part-ownership as reason for many users leaving OnlyOffice (and I’ve seen quite a few posts on that at the time).
As for the open-source part, I stand corrected, thank you
- Comment on What Nextcloud document service setup would you recommend? 4 weeks ago:
From what I can tell, OnlyOffice has the best compatibility and the nicest UI (similar to MS office), same as with the regular applications. NextCloud Office is based on LibreOffice (officially Collabora, which is their name for the web product), so again same as the regular applications you’ll have some compatibility issues. That said, if you don’t need compatibility with existing documents or only documents made with LibreOffice, either is fine.
One concern many have is that OnlyOffice is closed source and russian based, while LibreOffice is open source.

This would likely only hurt the end user. Many use chromium-based browsers, so you’re just driving those away.
You can detect Firefox, so you can do a superficial block in JS, but lemmy is such a simple site that you’d find it hard to find areas where there’s actual differences between the browsers, those usually only come from complex pages like video calling
- Comment on Most file types are just a renamed .zip 7 months ago:
Not quite correct. For html, that is to signal standard compliance, you can leave it away and the browser will still handle it. For the bash one, all (most) shell scripts use .sh, so you need to give a shebang to tell the loader which executable (sh, bash, zsh, csh, …) to use
