Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

Because it's open source and based on the Linux kernel. It's owned by them but you can do what you want with it. You can't with Windows.
So if a game works on the Steam OS, it works on pretty much any distro
I game with Steam on Linux, but I'm not using Steam OS
Also, that means that every effort made by Valve to improve compatibility is beneficial to everyone.
Edit: Also, even if it were closed source, I think it would still be good as it gives us alternatives to Windows. But

10 years should not have to watch porn. The problem is that it is often the only "sex education" they'll have. But it's a terrible example of sexual life.
Sex Ed should be about pleasure, sane sex life, type of relation, etc. As well as the usual risks and disease presented, so teenagers can understand the difference between performance and reality

I'm not sure they could ban it altogether
They can make it difficult, though
The court ruled that emulation is perfectly legal (as long as you have purchased the original)

Generate document from templates and database
Reply in thread
It used to be integromat. You can look it up more easily, haha
I almost succeeded with it, but to integrate multiple entries in one document, it was too complicated.
So, I'm modifying the code I originally made to make API calls to Airtable, and I assemble the doc with docxtpl
I started by creating an API on my already functioning flask app, so everything can be done through Airtable page. But I was worried about opening an API to the world, so I decided to make a local python app that I'll probably compile to .exe
And yes, I can open source, but it's really tailored to me needs

Yes, that why I recommand jinja. as it can be used in OpenXML as well as latex or anything in plain text.
Let's say you want to place a table that corresponds to a certain pattern, you could add it to your file conditionally. In your Word document, you could add that :
{% for job in jobs %}
{% if job.style == 1 %}
{{ job.name }} | {{ job.date}} | ...
{% else %}
- {{ job.name }}
- {{ job.date}}
- ...
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I don't know .NET but you can probably call a Jinja tools
Also for the resume, you might be insterested in Rx Resume

Anon recommends a cast iron pan

Well, I found it to be easier than stainless. I know how to use stainless in theory, but I never managed to use it properly. lol
I realized there's a hipster factor around it but I really find it easy to cook a lot of things without thinking twice. I'm only careful when I clean it.

Using sustainable aviation fuels could reduce emissions by up to 80%, scientists find
Reply in thread
Even if this was true, that wouldn't lead to less emissions but just more flights.
As we can see, every time the efficiency increases, the flight price drops, and the number of flights increases. So, it just allows us to fly more for the same amount of C02.

Yes, it does have the same option that libreoffice. But this solution would not be better than what I have currently

Reply in thread
Thank you !
It's pretty much the solution I already have: I generate a doc with DocxTemplate through a webpage made with Flask.
What I'm looking for is a solution with a user-friendly pipeline that can be easily used by anyone once it's set up
Form > generate new entry in a db
Entry > Select entry from tags > generate documents from template
Airtable is already proposing something similar, which is why I'm currently trying it with zapier, Documint, and other automation solutions
I'm looking for a self host solution but mostly a free and polished one

Nice!
Secretary looks exactly like Docxtemplate, which I used on my homemade webpage. Maybe it's a fork.
It never was really user friendly so I am looking to replace it. That is also the main issue with your self build solution? Or are there other issues as well?
Yes exactly. I need people to be able to use the tools easily and reliably and to be able to add templates themselves.
Also, my main job is not developing tools and I can only do it on my spare time, so the fastest it is to implement the better.
After a week to try, Airtable + Make seems to be the easiest. Airtable also offers to generate documents directly in it, but it lacks options.
My main issue with a lot of tool (except Docxtemplate or similar) is to renders array of data. Most solution replace a {{tag}} with an info, but what I would need is a {{array[i]}} and to be able to generate different paragraphs.

The issue was actually that the container somehow didn't have access to its directory anymore. No idea why or how to correct it.
I just created another config directory and use the backup to set everything
So it's working again, but I have no idea how it got stuck

I would add that it's the inefficiency of software that drives our phones to the bin.
The applications often relies on non optimized libraries, or are an aggregation of more and more of features and options that then requires the latest phone in order to work.
