Isn’t Only Office European too? My memory tells me it’s from Estonia. It’s Europe!

[–] C4pt41n_Pr0xy@lemmy.world 18 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

No it's not. The main company is Russian and they try way too hard to hide the fact that they are from Russia. They constantly creating new sub companies in Estonia, Cypher, UK and some more and transfer the HQ there while main Company is still in Russia along with CEO that owns it.

Oh, that’s sad. Thanks for informing me (and others) on that part! Considering the war in Ukraine (where I live now), there’s a no way, I’m going to use it then. In this case, I agree. Having a European solution is better than using Russian or even USian.

With quite some controversy of ties to Russia

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah, fuck them. That shit does not make it onto my system.

Ah, my apologies to the people of both countries. It seems I remember them being Baltic States. Well, Latvia is even closer to Central Europe!
