Before HTMX I used Turbo Hotwired and Unpoly. From my very personal and pragmatic point of view (I am a lone developer : I need to create software solutions that are robust and that simply work without the need to spend months to learn a ne

It depends on your requirements and what features you want to provide to your users. Do you want to provide only an app for mobile devices or also a desktop version? I am working on my own PWA, source code here: https://gitea.spe

And how can we forget the war that MS waged against Linux for many years, and the copyright lawsuits brought by SCO, partly financed by MS? So ... stop for a moment and think about where we could be in terms of software and operating system

For the ones who remember BeOS and its history, from Wikipedia : In 2002, Be Inc. sued Microsoft claiming that Hitachi had been dissuaded from selling PCs loaded with BeOS, and that Compaq had been pressured not to market an Internet applia

Well ... perhaps we need an old bank system, with old values and principles. I have read recently a book about Amadeo Peter Giannini, the founder of Bank of Italy that later became Bank of America. A very inspiring lecture for me. In my opi

FreeOffice exists since many years. It is free for personal use. It is a light and complete office suite. It is a good alternative to LibreOffice, also if not so rich in features.

Yes, I agree that this will be the critical point, but ... it all depends on the critical mass of users. About 20 years ago there was no CAD software for Linux, no IDE for rapid development and now we have tons of incredible tools in all ar

I agree and the fact the governments prefer commercial and costly software instead of adopting open source solutions and hire local companies for support and custom development is very disturbing : they spend the taxpayers money to make ric

There is hope: - 20 years ago it was impossible to buy a PC, especially a laptop, without MS Windows : today there are several suppliers: System76, LaptopWithLinux, TuxedoComputers, to name but a few. - It is only in the last few years (les

Very useful, I bought it years ago and used it on Windows. I've been using only Linux for about 10 years now, but I'd like to use Total Commander on Linux. Double Commander is open source, cross-platform and written with Lazarus

IMHO, there are too many drawbacks to being forced to distribute an app through only one "self-authorised" app store and very few advantages. Pros (ironically): 1. the app store manager is supposed to check the app for malware and

As far as I know it supports SQLite, MariaDB and PostgreSQL. For MariaDB you can implement logical master-master replication between 2 servers (or a Galera cluster if you have 3 or more servers). I have done this for my servers with MariaDB
