       If Sony and Microsoft keep on buying up studios I may end up going full Nintendo fanboy because they don't really do acquisitions and have actually said in recent years that they won't be joining the Sony and Microsoft led acquisition glut.I have so much more respect for a company that can put out good hardware with quality first party games without buying up studios. Long term relationship building over short termism. #VideoGames

       I’ll never understand why FOSS people keep pushing #Libreoffice over #OnlyOffice. I used OnlyOffice a lot when I was on #Linux and it is hands down the best office suite available on Linux with the best Office format compatibility (and that matters no matter how badly you want open formats to reign)https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/01/onlyoffice-7-3-released

       The big problem with lofty goals like getting streaming to take over is internet infrastructure. In most of the world it just isn't up to snuff and will take billions in investment and in certain parts massive reform to increase competition (looking at you America). That is not going to happen in a decade, if ever.
