nogajun··on Sony's First Computer – The SMC-70 from 1982 [video]
That brings back memories. After releasing the SMC-70, Sony released a model called the SMC-777. In Japan, commercials featuring Seiko Matsuda were frequently broadcast, and it sold reasonably well. However, because it struggled to grow in the consumer PC market, I recall that they entered the MSX market.

nogajun··on 1worldflag: A blue dot on a transparent background
That’s really interesting.

Currently, Japan’s ruling party, the LDP, is considering legislation to criminalize the desecration of the Japan flag. If that law is passed, carrying that flag would constitute a crime of desecrating the Japan flag. Even without such a law, simply carrying that flag would likely prompt the far right to view it as an alteration of the Japan flag and attack you for it.

nogajun··on Naphtha shortages in Japan
As a result of the Takaichi administration directing subsidies exclusively toward gasoline, oil companies have stopped prioritizing naphtha production, leading to a shortage of daily necessities. The fact that Calbee’s snack packaging has turned monochrome is a direct consequence of this. The Takaichi administration attempted to pressure Calbee into reversing this decision.

What is even more alarming is that more than half of the Japanese public supports the Takaichi administration, which is implementing such absurd policies.

nogajun··on LibreOffice and the Art of Overreacting
The issue here isn’t that we’re asking for donations. The massive banner is significantly impairing usability. It’s wrong to ask for donations at the expense of usability.

nogajun··on Python in LibreOffice (LibrePythonista Extension)
This is an extension that embeds Python in LibreOffice Calc like Python in Excel. Once the extension is installed, pandas, matplotlib, numpy, etc. are also installed, allowing tables to be manipulated as pandas data frames.

The difference with Python in Excel is that it works with Python embedded in LibreOffice. It can be used without external access.

nogajun··on ZetaOffice, a new LibreOffice Technology product for web, mobile and desktop
Compared to what IronCalc made in RUST is talking about, ZetaOffice is very miserable.

I think people involved in LibreOffice should realize that LibreOffice is outdated.

nogajun··on The inventor of the automatic rice cooker
Fumiko Minami(三並風美子)'s knowledge and contribution to the development of the rice cooker is greatly appreciated, but she is rarely mentioned in Japan. I think it deserves more attention.
nogajun··on Our Founder – Momofuku Ando
It is a lie that Momofuku Ando invented instant ramen. The history of instant ramen as presented by Nissin must be questioned.

In Taiwan, there was Ke-shi-men (雞絲麵), in which the noodles were fried in oil and then returned to hot water.

Before the introduction of Chicken Ramen, Choju-men (長寿麺) was introduced by Cho Kokubun (張國文) and was widely known.

Momofuku Ando is a businessman who exploits these things, crushes his opponents with lawsuits, and simply advertises that he invented them.

nogajun··on German state moving 30k PCs to LibreOffice
LibreOffice may be useful for German, but not for Asian languages. This is because it was designed without regard to the typographical rules of the Asian-speaking world.

You could say that TDF is "committed to Asian languages". But text is meaningless unless it can be used according to typographic rules, not just to display characters. They do not understand that.

And the problem is that the user interface is stuck in the 2000s. They don't understand that the Ribbon UI has been around for 17 years and generations have changed.

They say, "There's the Tabbed UI," but the Tabbed UI is nothing like the Ribbon UI. They're in denial and they don't want to get out of the 2000s.

nogajun··on "LibreOffice is better at reading old Word files than Word"
Never open old Japanese Word files in LibreOffice. It will destroy the file.

This is because old Japanese Word files are saved in Shift JIS, but LibreOffice opens them in UTF-8.
