Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
If I ever recommended openoffice it was just because I confused the names of the two products.
My dad uses LibreOffice for years, still call it OpenOffice 😂.
I… I was today years old.
I honestly thought LibreOffice was some rebranded name. It’s been a while since I’ve used any of them.
So many programs use those prefixes in Linux so it just gets confusing
