There is no digital sovereignty without ODF

Any other choice is a choice of dependence on a single vendor

Digital sovereignty begins with the document format. Everything else – server location, hosting jurisdiction, procurement clauses – is downstream of this single decision. If the format is standard and open, the user controls the document. If the format is proprietary the vendor controls it, even when the file sits on the user’s own hard drive.

@libreoffice I do love LibreOffice but I hate onething about it i.e. The ability to finely control or move Frame with Table inside it - it's terrible.

@mortal_engine @libreoffice the eternal fallacy of trying to use a text processor for #layout. That's just not what it is for. If you want to fine tune your layout, export it and work it over with something like #Inkscape. Optimally, you have a unified layout mask for pages with or without graphics, tables etc. and create a consistently layouted document.

Maybe I should just use Layout Programs instead of a Text Processor.
