@mttaggart

I don't want to be negative but LOO isn't perhaps the best acronym

[christoff@yem.bouncingaroundtheroom.online]

@mttaggart hell yeah, that sounds great!

[rachel@transitory.social]

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange oooh, I hope it is less of a mess than collabora/only office or whatever the heck nextcloud is recommending these days

@rachel @mttaggart Why do I feel like web-hosted stuff always ends up ad-ens****tified or subscription h*ll? LOL. (ignore moe)

[mttaggart@infosec.exchange]

@ai6yr @rachel I mean this is meant to be self-hosted. They specifically call out that they won't be hosting an instance.

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@mttaggart @rachel Aha... wonder what the use case is (I'll go look). Anyway, ignore me! Just saw it in passing.
