@hyc@mastodon.social @ghost_shit@aus.social @timixretroplays@digipres.club I'm in consulting and am forced to use office for real time collaboration and the like because my clients rely on office too.

    @hyc@mastodon.social @ghost_shit@aus.social @timixretroplays@digipres.club my clients are in critical infrastructure so they have other dependencies on these tools too. So it'd require dozens of companies jumping ship to tools not optimised for real time collaboration at scale at once, which would be a disaster. I love FOSS but it is quite literally impossible for some of us to avoid office/other proprietary suites

    @machinesbleedtoo@aus.social @hyc@mastodon.social @ghost_shit@aus.social @timixretroplays@digipres.club Yikes, that is a nasty network lock on effect. And I feel it myself, I strongly avoid having a Google account but have to use one for doc collaboration with fellow cycling advocates. Just like Samba deveopers (pretty much) have to use GitLab.com to submit patches, and most of the rest of the world has to use GitHub. This is going to remain very difficult to avoid :-(
