It's not just like voting machines if it's just software. Just give it the same DNA as input and check if your results match the others.

From their blog:

> For enterprise-class deployments, TDF has strongly recommended the LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners – for desktop, mobile and cloud – with long-term support options, professional assistance, custom features and other benefits, including SLA (Service Level Agreements).

My company doesn't need this. We just need a program do open documents and spreadsheets. We don't need an ecosystem, we don't need their cloud, we don't need mobile suppoet, custom features, "professional assistance" or SLAs.

> Despite this recommendation, an increasing number of enterprises have chosen the version supported by volunteers over the version optimized for their needs.

Let that sink in for a second. Basically TDF is saying "we know what's best for you - it's paying us for things you don't need".

It's completely tone-deaf and I'm seriously considering creating a fork called FuckTDF-Suite with everything being identical except removing all mentions of "Community", "Enterprise", and donation prompts.

First Elastic, now this. If you're just salty about not getting money and don't care about the principles of free software, go sell your soul and work for M$FT or Goolag.

>By using this, G--gle will hound you with impossible capchas and privacy-forward search engines will think that you're a bot

A friend of mine had an alternative theory: by making it very very hard to track you, you have shown to be somewhat intelligent and you have shown that you know more about computers than the average Joe. Goolag, knowing you're a somewhat intelligent human, gives you the very hard captchas it needs to train.

The privilege you get from owning a project is that you don't have to do shit for anyone if you don't want to. If you don't like the feature someone wants or don't want to work on a bug report, don't.

Precisely, especially if you want to have multiple engaging friendships.
