The Austrian Armed Forces have been preparing for the switch to LibreOffice for a long time. Other LibreOffice users will also benefit from this.

Well it certainly didn’t make sense to run your military infra on US proprietary software.
Similarly in France the “Gendarmerie nationale”, a branch of the French Armed Forces that do the police has been using “GendBuntu” on all their desktop since 2008.
It’s a version of Ubuntu developed specifically for them.
I suppose this is a move to become independent from USAmerican technology. Which makes sense, considering Trump’s unpredictability. But it’s still a good move anyways, independent of Trump, they should do it anyways.
I just switched the other day after Microsoft emailed me reminding me that my subscription ends in a month.
Then I cancelled right away and got $15 back.
After they offered me “AI free office” for like $40 less which I didn’t even want in the first place.
Be interested to know how they migrated Excel accurately. That’s the killer app for Office and what makes migration difficult.
The Austrian armed forces forgot they were supposed to be outside doing army guy shit.
Austria is a neutral country, its military mostly provides disaster relief and humanitarian aid
Then wtf was Hitler’s deal?
it was after ww2 that Austria turned neutral, specifically because of tiny-beard
And you think they don’t need to have internal documents or spreadsheets or presentations and use computers for those?
(They definitely have at least presentations. They showed some of them to me around my 18th birthday when I had to show up at a military base to be examined for military fitness.)
Sometimes your joke lands, sometimes it slaps the street like a turd from the an 8th floor balcony.
Sometimes it’s just not a joke at all
You’re the Trump of humor.
