Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
Same here … I started off for about four or five years on OpenOffice until it devolved into some weird open/private organization and everyone revolted and it turned into LibreOffice. I held onto OpenOffice for a while and then realized the LibreOffice was more open source system … but you’re right, whenever I look up anything as an Microsoft alternative, OpenOffice is the first to come to mind.
