Not until now, thnx, will investigate!

Sailforms Android app!

https://groups.google.com/g/sailforms-users

Use like 12 years for keeping track of lots of personal stuff. It's a generic database / table / forms app that's very powerfull. Buttons, queries, reports, calculated fields etc.

But: the app developer stopped despite a rather enthusiastic community. Now it isn't even on the Play Store anymore and I guess everybody must have an exit strategy.

For example, because its autocorrect in a multi-language setting is pretty bad (autocorrecting wrong language even if its manually switched).

Was wondering....

If I would invest $10 a month .... How many computing power I could get ... For an Adnauseam-As-A-Service server ... And how many ad-budget that would vaporize?

Would it make $100, $1000 or more ad budget worthless?

Just curious what the numbers would be?

Agree, also I never encountered other software so flexible in user interface. Every feature can be placed with panels everywhere to your own liking. The whole app interface is like a canvas. Took me a while to get the hang of it but after that ...

Wished other apps were this flexible.

If you wouldnt mind getting rid of Google search entirely ... settings, search, select Google, remove. I assume there is nothing to pin after that?

Like Felt? https://felt.com/ Not free or anything and although OSM based I dont think their geo-stack is "open".

One of the few times I miss Files-on-demand for Win11. Connect an Office365 library with 500 GB to my laptop with an 128 GB harddrive. Integrates with file explorer, only caches local what you open, after a while you can "free space", meaning deleting local cache version. NextCloud has the same on Win11 because its an OS feature.

Sometimes I wish we could re-allocate half the dev hours poured in to the 10th txt/code editor, music player or terminal app in to this kind of thing.

Did you over engineer? Yes! Also: this is very cool!!

And the "we play nice" respons of IAB: https://iabeurope.eu/iab-europe-tcf-and-noybs-war-on-cookie-banners/

Yes https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/04/noyb-second-cookie-complaints/

4. It's not gdpr compliant in the way shown here or IAB TCF uses it.

Legitimate interest is a sort failsafe which can be used to cover certain exceptions.

• the datacontrollor must have an exceptional situation, so not on a regular basis.
• the balance between personal and business interest must be considered carefully under case by case basis.
• the dataprocessor isn't the one doing the consideration

Automating all this is kind off against all the above.

I was a Windows 2000 fan in the Windows Millenium period.

I'm really annoyed by this, thanks for verifying. Still bound to a employer laptop which uses Win11 in a Microsoft collaboration setting but eager to learn how to turn it off.

Is this for Home edition and Enterprise as well? 🤔

For my family my setup slightly different for reasons in other comments:

• do change browsers away from Chrome or Edge
• do change search engines
• allow cookies
• drop tracking surveillance traffic at the network level with something like pihole or nextdns

Just a remark about "can donate profit anyway" which I understand for corporations doesnt apply to public and semi-public services (ofcourse).

Which often happens to be a target group that is well aware of public values etc and the notion of community-culture among each other. Often other libraries or other schools for example treat each other as collegues etc.

BUT those type of organisations arnt allowed to donate (Giving away taxmoney) AND often cant allocate developer time (because there arent any within those organizations).

Here (NL in EU) we depend on the same FOSS as everyone else, but cant donate. We do must look for other ways to contribute tho.
