An open letter to office suite users, just before the Euro-Office announcement - TDF Community Blog
Dear office suite users, In recent days you will have read various articles announcing the arrival of Euro-Office, which is being “marketed” as the first open-source office suite developed in Europe. We feel compelled — reluctantly, since open source should rest on transparency, not deception — to correct this claim. The first open-source office suite developed in Europe was OpenOffice.org in 2001, based on StarOffice’s source code, followed by LibreOffice from 2010. These are two gen…

It is, while completely expectable, still surprising to me that when I talk about software on here and particularly services like Github, all the replies assume I'm doing open source work only or primarily.

Back when I was diagnosed with #diabetes, I've found two apps to help me. Both were proprietary.
The first one came from the glucometer's manufacturer, and it featured the ability to copy its readings over Bluetooth. It also had a pretty useful bolus calculator. However, it was also annoying in a number of ways: it required an account with all the implied data sharing, was premiumware (though using their glucometer implied a free "pro" version), was quite childish in design, didn't respect disabled animations or dark theme.
The second one was an independent Polish app to compute carbs from meals. It wasn't perfect, but it had a rich database of products and quite a few convenient features (like copying meals or calculating carbs based on recipes). Unfortunately, the authors went full way into AI hype, and while I didn't use any of the "AI" features (they were premiumware anyway), the app itself was becoming increasingly crappy.
Eventually, this motivated me to look for a new app. I've settled for #Diaguard. It's just got the basics: meal composition and computing carbs, plus letting me log blood sugar and insulin doses manually. It used to have a bolus calculator before I used it, but it was removed over legal concerns. Still, it's open source, it's nice, it's got no crap and it respects the dark theme. And honestly, given that I've already reached the point of overriding bolus calculator, I've figured out it's enough for me.
In fact, it's so "enough" that I'm not even using it regularly. I mean, if my blood sugar is predictable and my meals are predictable, there's no reason to waste time logging them. The app is there to assist me when I need it, not force me to use it.
I still keep the two other apps installed. The first one in case I had doubts over insulin doses and wanted to use the bolus calculator. The second one over my database of meals; though I had already exported it, so I just need to figure out if the export is complete enough.
