Anything that kicks big tech's teeth in is good.

Why do european tech companies need to call their products the same name as already established american products. Don't they google the names before they make the decision?

Visio is an outdated spreadsheet name, in English.

Visio is the new video conferencing software, in French.

France leads the world, it is up to everyone else to worry about conflict with France, not the other way around. /s

Who tells them that "Visio" is already a trademark?

Trump is amazing. He literally destroys anything he touches and still get rewarded for it. Just wow.

Edit: Destroys casinos and hotels. Gets rewarded a tv show. Destroy multiple brands. Get rewarded the presidency. Destroys so many American lives. Gets rewarded the presidency a second time. Destroys the United States and it's ties with it's allies. Gets rewarded with untold billions.

He is as fucking narcisist, he doesn't care not to ruin anything.

Good on them, but I Wonder why they can't just build on top of something open source like Nextcloud.

It already has the majority of the Office-365 suite

Because the French government is hell bent on saving money, but they don't care about anyone's privacy at all. I wouldn't be surprised if they are building a privacy nightmare system here. Having said that, at least they are removing Microslop, and anything that could potentially hurt Microslop in any way, shape or form, is a good thing.

i mean, a lot ia still in handwriten notebooks, the french and other similar countries should just skip IT and jump eight into the future and stay on paper, no?

I don't know on what it's based on, but it's open source and audited.

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 11 points 8 hours ago

It's based on LiveKit.

The French use "Visio" kinda like a generic term to talk about a video call (short for visio-conférence), I find that much better already than that W nonsense.

The gendarmerie has had its own Linux distribution for a while now but that's about it.
