2/ 🤑 Instead of buying & then owning our software, Big Tech is pushing us into subscriptions with increasingly expensive layers of integrations, AI features & applications that many users never asked for but have to pay.
Microsoft & Google frequently use their market position to bundle products together: Windows & Edge browser, Android & all other Google products, Microsoft 365 & Teams, Google Search & Gemini AI...the list goes on!

3/ ⛓️💥 You can break free from the sneaky business tactics & keep control of your files & your infrastructure too: 💻 #LibreOffice is a fully-featured free, open-source office suite for documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You download & run on your local device and it just works. 💻 #CollaboraOfficeOnline is the browser-based online version of LibreOffice with collaborative office tools that can be self-hosted & integrated into platforms such as Nextcloud.
