IDK what planet you live at, but I'd trust @libreoffice more than #MicrosoftOffice.

• And yes, I literally migrated some cursed shite from #Windows to #Linux and got it to work with #Libreoffice, so it's mostly a matter of #pain, #frustration and #cost for the decisionmakers.

As a #Sysadmin, I'm used to acting as "#BenevolentDictator" cuz otherwise #TechIlliterates would fuck up (literally) everything!

• Sounds harsh but I'd rather not work in #IT than committing professional malpractice by using #Windows & #Office365 as that combo cannot under any circumstances comply with #GDPR & #BDSG and just because too many folks ignore that [just like they did when GDPR rolled out) doesn't mean this #InconvenientTruth won't go away...

I'd rather invest time and effort to not be shackled to a #GAFAM & #PRISM collaborator than just doing what everyone else does.

@ai6yr That's why I act as "#BenevolentDictator" and preload #Linux exclusively.

• I #DontDoWindows!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGMapZjzIAs

@marc @cmalloc @kontrollierterWahnwitz deshalb bin ich im Zweifelsfalle lieber "#BenevolentDictator" in der #IT, weil erfahrungsgemäß #TechIlliterates nur Zeug gegen die Wand fahren...

The Mastodon team chooses other priorities than #GDPR: https://hachyderm.io/@maugendre/109364637095033135 #benevolentDictator #governance #communitySafety

A few initiatives are available for #MastoAdmins to only "patch" the privacy problem. Here is a reference: https://hachyderm.io/@maugendre/109422699499509243 #MastoAdmin

The way of working structures the #governance. Many "derivatives" have been created out of #Mastodon: each flavour uses two code packs:
the main software strategy is presided by one person (the founder as #benevolentDictator, Eugen Rochko);
a bough software depends on the former.

#Naming: A bough is a big branch of a tree, usually a primary one directly attached to the #trunk.

The governance of #Mastodon has been a heated subject for a long time: here is an excellent article by Ana Valens (dated 2019) on the power plays in Mastodon development: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/mastodon-fediverse-eugen-rochko/ #benevolence #power #alphabetMafia #networkPolitics #devGovernance #longread #peopleNotUsers
