   @douginamug@mastodon.xyz @tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one Would still make me feel more comfortable were it not the case.Can I ask you why? Russia is considered the worst evil ever known to exist in the western world thanks to USA propaganda, but the USA itself isn't doing much better with their constant warmongering. The EU is trying their best to impose "chat control" (read: complete digital surveillance) on its citizens. There is no "safe" country in this world that is incorruptible.
   
   I find it weird how much weight people put on "the country" some developers were born into, when it comes to software that is free (as in freedom) and self-hostable in whatever jurisdiction you're in.

     @tootbrute @tyil yeah, I get that part about ownership... Would still make me feel more comfortable were it not the case. Looks like Cryptpad are using onlyoffice code for their editors.

     And it also seems like Collabora has a desktop version now...
