@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe Well I'd still feel bad for all the LibreOffice and OnlyOffice and Collabora and Co. devs if people just started migrating to a soulless AI clone of Word whose generation was only possible because being trained on the public code of Libre & Co.

@LinqLover@norden.social I'm sure (wise) people will still prefer LibreOffice to those solutions. But maybe this could be the first step towards the Open Source world. I'm sure there are tons of good use cases for those original Microsoft Office products. I just don't like the imposition of them. Some Italian public offices still send "docx" documents that are full of things that aren't compatible with LibreOffice. This makes me mad. You cannot force me to *buy* a closed, proprietary software solution to fill a public form.
