Do not take me wrong, I appreciate and thanks anyone who contribute to FLOSS, but all low/no code approaches I see turn out to be garbage. IMVHO the reality is that people need to be trained and became capable of fishing alone instead

Well... Data are useful if we can collect and process them automatically, a display means you can read instantaneously (essentially useless 99% of the time) but not store and analyze. Some instantaneous data are useful, for instance before

I tend to live a small swap volume (1-4Gb) on my systems where RAM is much, much bigger, 32-64Gb mean, more because of habits than some reasoned technicality. Normally is 100% unused 99+% of the time.

At a basic level because we almost never have to deal with pure tabular data without anything else. A spreadsheet was designed to deal with pure data, even without a note. Than since in the real world we need notes, titles, small bits of te

A small note "If a local number starts with a single 0, strip the 0 and prepend the country code" is FALSE for at least Italian numbers. For instance Turin, Milan, Rome and Genoa landline prefixes are 011, 02, 06, and 010. Any lan

The office or not is not about the office but about the surroundings. The city in modern time is just an intensive farm of humans, where people do not own much and in future will not own anything, the WEF/2030 prediction from the 2016.

That's why we MUST impose FLOSS by popular acclaim and came back to desktop computing and home servers. That's why modern connected cars are designed to be a national security threat as well as many other macro-bugs.
