When buying WordPerfect in 1987 for my desktop PC whose only link to the surrounding world was a 2400 bps modem and a copper telephone wire, I don't remember having any feeling that the Wordperfect Corporation wanted to spy on me, sell my personal information, enshittify the software and fund global fascism.

Maybe there is a market for similar products today as well.

@mrundkvist Libre office? Please tell me that they don't do that, I would hate to see that what I recommend is a spyware.

I've used it quite happily for ~18 years, and so far I've heard no such complaints.

I just wish they would let me select which languages shall be on offer in the spell checker. I switch between Swedish and English several times a day. And every time they show me a complete list of the world's languages.
