This is a pet peeve of mine, but if you don't know how to use thou, it's better not to use it. The correct form is: thou shalt.

It's not really a dilemma. The US has shown itself unreliable. So, Europe has to step up and become self-sufficient. Most European leaders know this, but it will take time. Also, in the meantime, Europe doesn't want to alienate the US too much.

You are most likely fine using the open source version and none of their paid services.

Personally, I want to avoid any association, so I use LibreOffice.

Yes, they are legitimate and not just fears. OnlyOffice is produced by a Russian team. They opened an office in Latvia, and in 2023 a holding in Singapore, to circumvent Western measures in boycott of Russia, so they can continue to sell their services.

What's also weird is that the Russian version of the software package is named after the first Soviet nuclear ICBM and features imagery of that.

They are not inclusive, though it is what they want you to believe. Feminism is about women--it's in the name. Also, when you read the founding documents of feminism, there is a strong anti-men stance. This is simply not the right lens through which to view men's issues.

And having experienced MensLib on Reddit in the past, there men's issues were always made subservient to women's issues. And the draconian moderation made sure no criticism of feminism was allowed to stand.

To really discuss men's issues, a space is needed that is free from the ideological shackles of feminism.

"I would love to buy your album if you'd put one on Bandcamp!"

[–] zonnewin@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

That is first and foremost a feminist community, so the focus is not on men. That's not what we need.

That there is a God, and he loves you, but he will send anyone to eternal torture who does not believe in him.

Took me way too long to find out that that makes no fucking sense.
