Onlyoffice is apparently Russian, headquartered in Latvia.

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Latvia is not Russia, unless something recently changed

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

JFC it can be russian owned and russian controlled and russian employed and pay russian taxes while "headquartered" in Latvia.

Latvia is not Russia

Yet.

And if you look on a Russian map, I'm sure it's there already.

[–] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

What? Latvia is a part of NATO.

what does it even mean to be russian then?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You know, almost entirely staffed by Russians (outside of Latvia), the executive suite is Russian, shareholders are Russian, etc.

Like have you guys never heard of companies being "headquartered" in the Cayman Islands?

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sure, now why would that be a factor for choosing a software or not.

You didn't choose the country you were born in anymore than they did.

Seriously?

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yes, very much

if your only argument is the nationality of the people involved, it's a bad one.

If you haven't noticed there's a war going on. This is the weirdest conversation I've had, at best you're playing the fool. I'm out.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yes, and developers are civilians.

And who do they pay taxes to? Russia. JFC why do I bother. Ciao.
