Yeah, I think you’re right.

Weird, I found OO was a better and more modern experience than LO.

OpenOffice is another open source alternative that looks a bit more like Microsoft Office suite, and I think it also supports more file extensions than libreoffice(?)

That is true, two things can be true at once. I sometimes fail to realize that.

The website includes a quote from a Reddit employee:

Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.

I didn’t realize casually browsing a website is “abusive scraping”. Isn’t that the equivalent of claiming that reading a news article online is “abusive scraping”?

I guess so, because that’s what I did. Before I deleted my account, I made sure my profile was 100% purged and it was.

Edit: I used this (GitHub link to Power Delete Suite), it took a while but that’s only because I had many pages of content.

 

I signed up for a couple of Fediverse instances that interested me; Lemmy, Mastodon, and Mbin. The app I use on my phone for Mbin is called “Intersteller”. When I filter by “all” posts on Intersteller, it shows Lemmy posts as well. Are they the same instance? If not, why is it showing Lemmy posts?

That makes sense. Regarding your comment re:

“You could definitely simplify an OS like Linux to be more console oriented

I keep seeing videos on YouTube of people installing Ubuntu on their PS5’s - do you think this will gain traction with Sony and Microsoft and allow consumers to install a Linux distro officially like how Steam has SteamOS?

I also notice that when there is a discussion or video regarding modding a console, it’s to “preserve” its longevity rather than having a practical use.

What would be an open platform for consoles?

I genuinely believe the switch 2 is the best bang for your buck, especially now with the way things are looking with hardware price increases. The performance is very close to PS5 (I’ve heard ranges between PS4 Pro and PS5) whilst having the capability to output to 4K when docked. For $629.96 CAD (or $699.96 CAD for the bundle), you absolutely cannot beat that price.

I’m not glazing Nintendo. Xbox Series S is $449.96 CAD including a controller and 512gb SSD, but you’d be sacrificing a lot of performance (it’s funny when they say it can go “up to 120fps” when I know from experience it absolutely does not). PlayStation 5 is $749.96 CAD for the digital edition. Looking at my options knowing what kind of performance the Switch 2 has, I would rather pay the $629.96 CAD because it has one feature that cannot be beat; it can be played handheld or docked. If you want an Xbox handheld, you’d have to look into handheld PC’s like the ASUS ROG Ally or the Steam deck. If you want a PS5 handheld you’d need a PS5 and a $319.96 CAD PlayStation Portal. For me, the price to performance of the Switch 2, and the features that come with it, is why I prefer the Switch 2.
