But python is more of a first class citizen in libreCalc.
You can use Numpy, Pandas, matplotlib, etc… In both excel and librecalc since recently and excel has a hacky runtime inside of it that often has to be restarted if leaving it idle for too long.
You can do 10x what you can do in excel + VBS with python packages. Dataframes alone for data analysis is night and day compared to VBS hacks.
It is certainly not open source, but it is a copy left license.
You could make the exact same argument for literally any open source project where someone forks it.
The “power” of open source is that in theory if the creator went rogue that the public can switch to the fork as the main app used.
I really fail to see if the dataset is open, how the data itself (of course not the web domain or front end) would be any different in a fully open source project. Maybe the transfer to a new app in the last case would be quicker, but that is about it. The dataset is the gold here.
WhatsApp is used for businesses a ton here in the EU. A customer-facing business owner like a cafe/restaurant it is almost required in some places. So much much more than “inconvenient”
Maybe a bit like kids being told they are “smart” and “gifted” turns a lot of them into workaholics with a fear of skill-based failure.and coping mechanisms around that.
Spending it on enriching the insurance company executives’ pockets to deny care to sick people doesn’t count ad healthcare in my opinion.
Nutella can never even be inferred to be a nut butter lol. It is literally >50% sugar and palm oil. Only 13% hazelnuts. In 2017 they reduced the chocolate solids further and added more sugar and more skimmed milk powder. Almost half its calories is from sugar.
The traditional hazelnut butter was 71.5% hazelnut paste and 19.5% chocolate, but nutella doesn’t even have enough cocoa powder to have the label of “chocolate cream” in many countries.
Communicating with external devices via USB or the old D-Sub connectors.
Printers, microcontrollers, instruments, etc… Directly instead of through the OS.
Notably, ESPHome Programmer uses it for flashing ESP32s wired. Other companies like Solo Motor Controllers use it for delivering a user GUI to customers that is always updated but that can switch between versions instantly for production without having to having to deal with window’s broken method of having to manually search and download .exes for every program.
Really? Holy shit I can switch to zen fully at work and at home and uninstall chromium. Webserial was literally the only thing I needed
Price.
That is what they do better.
Many many MANY people would sooner buy something for 5 dollars 20 times then something for $100 once whether financial necessity or not feeling guilty for buying the super expensive thing.
Hey there!
This is a job for Handy. I recently started using it with the Parakeet recommended model. It works very very well. Whisper packaged with Wyoming that I run is pretty much unusable for dutch but Parakeet in Handy seems to work quite well. Direct input of text into whatever program you want. Downloads a small local model and works only on your computer. Push-to-talk or toggle, tons of customizations.
Note that this just speech to text and the models aren’t made for post processing. So it will dictate exactly what you say, umms and everything. If you want cleanup, formatting, etc… Then you have to rely on a much more general model, but the makers are experimenting with an opt-in for that for various external AIs.
26°C inside? That is rough.
Hell, Runkeeper was a thing with a social network before strava and still exists.
It even gives cadence which strava doesn’t do (at least not the free tier), but the Apple cult picked up Strava and it became the runner’s status symbol as Apple devices are yoany people in America/Sweden/etc… and then that spread over the rest of the world.
Personally I have only a hundred notes or so and really only the basic plugins and it still takes up to 10 seconds to load and become usable on my phone.
It is definitely not fast loading up but it is very fast in most other use cases I have seen. At work I use it with getting more towards 1000 notes and it works fine there usually, though there is some windows+ electron weirdness
That commenter was using an example of something very bad that could happen if the fork got handed off to someone else again but worse, not something that actually happened
ICE “detainees” are dying by “suicide” at an “alarming” rate, and AP “investigation” finds.
The whole thing is pretty bad
That is it I think. I don’t consider internet/water/electricity subscriptions as much as utilities.
Can’t really afford anything else right now because my girlfriend as a cafe owner only brings in around 1200€/month or so working >60hr/week and we have a full renovation to pay for.
I want to dedicate like 10-20€/month to FOSS I use once the situation is better.
Oh yeah those E-inks have like a 10 second refresh timem they are meant for static art, images, signage, etc…
That is why for clocks and dashboards, I think RLCDs like the https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-s3-rlcd-4.2.htm which is an older tech, but nowadays much better reflection to be closer to e-paper, 60Hz and none of the epaper downsides, but much higher power use.
For this application, I am hoping reflective LCDs make a comeback or transreflective LCDs. They are much better for typing than e-ink and still easy on the eyes.
Early apple devices were quite decent out in the sun with the glass screen and transreflective LCDs. I remember my old devices were quite usable even with the not great brightness if I angled it to reflect the sun nicely.
Waveshare just released a fully reflective monochrome small one with an integrated ESP32 so I am hoping that catches on in the hobbyist communities and people can start building tech decks with bigger screens that aren’t 800€ and a 1Hz refresh rate.
E-paper is amazing for static text, images (see pimorino screens with E-Ink 6color), labels, and status things, but fast typing and drawing makes them outrageously expensive for hobbyists and even very expensive at large scale like Boox and Remarkable.
It will be robots sent to kill humans, whether by another country or the country on its own citizens.
Robots killing robots is just damage to capital which the elites will make sure is not the path forward.
