The Microsoft-Dilemma - #Europe as a #Software Colony (43min)

This is how the #EU is paying a secret number of Millions to #Microsoft in order to stay less secure, more dependend, less self-empowered, and more corrupt.
And this was known even before the US went totally crazy, risking our future big time.
So let's change and take back control using #FOSS software and open standards for true competition and actually according to our own rules for a change.
My brother needs a spreadsheet program secure enough to use for patient data.
Excel is MS and works like shit on Linux.
LibreCalc has terrible UI (so by brother says).
Google Sheet is Google and is not secure enough.
Suggestions? =)
Does anyone know if there’s already a petition or initiative in #Germany ot the #EU calling on higher education institutions (Universitäten and Fachhochschulen) to switch to #opensource software?
Specifically, I’m looking for efforts to stop the use of #Microsoft (Windows, Outlook, Exchange, MS Office, etc.) in administration and to move away from teaching tools like #Word,#Excel, or #visualstudio.
I'm looking for something similar to this: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/appell-an-die-hochschulrektorenkonferenz-zur-nutzung-sozialer-medien
Hallo #excel|Menschen, was ist das denn? Die Kollegin weiß natürlich nicht was sie getan hat, war damit dann aber komplett lahmgelegt und konnte nichts mehr tun. Mit einmal per win + D minimieren war dann wenigstens wieder der Cursor "frei" und sie konnte speichern.
Beim Speichern hat's dann was von Zirkelbezug gesagt. (Ich war nur am Telefon, habe nichts davon gesehen)
Mam wlasnie komiczna sytuacje - kazda proba wejscia na online'owego #Excel'a powoduje... wywalenie internetu
Grist is the evolution of #spreadsheets.
The grist-core repo is the heart of Grist, including the hosted services offered by Grist Labs, an NYC-based company and Grist's main developer.
The French government organizations ANCT Données et Territoires and DINUM (Direction Interministérielle du Numérique) have also made significant contributions to the codebase.

What's the opposite of using #AI like #Midjourney to crank out plastic shit?

the table thing ties back into into #vestal, the binary patcher for old soundwares (https://codeberg.org/unspeaker/vestal - that one isn't passing its ci yet, baaad code, baaaaaad developer!)
that could sure use some interactivity, at least in development. would keep me focused.
it also ties back into #tek, whose entire thing is reimplementing #ableton's "#excel for music" schtick in a terminal, so, again, tables!
or, more properly, collapsible table-trees... not a new idea, more like a lost technology!

Gartenplanung mit #chatgpt ...sinnvoll oder nicht?
Zumindest die #Excel Tabelle mit der jährlichen Gartenplanung kann man sich ja damit befüllen lassen.
Spoiler: ChatGPT versagt kläglich, #perplexity dagegen ist recht brauchbar.
Bonus: Meine Beetplanung als xlsx zum Download.
