I'm with you especially since what I use Reddit/Twitter for the most is sports highlight clips/discussion during games. Those communities just aren't here. I love chatting with other Orioles/Panthers/Penguins fans in the game threads on Reddit during the game since none of my friends are fans of those teams other than my brother being a Penguins fan too.

Luckily a lot of the Twitter follows I had which were mainly for College Football are on Bluesky so I can use that more but missing out on the rest here. Once Boost for Reddit stops working (still works if you mod a sub) I won't be using Reddit anymore though. The official app is that bad.

What do you mean you can't drink ice coffee without a straw?

The problem is that there isn't a great replacement for it now. The same with reddit. I'm on here and I'm on Bluesky. The main uses I have for both Reddit and Twitter/X is sports news and discourse. Reddit for the discourse and Twitter for the news. There aren't the communities here to have that. I want to talk Orioles baseball but the Orioles community here literally has zero comments other than bot comments updating scoring updates/pitching changes during the game threads. I'm trying to do my part and comment/post stuff to them but without any actual responses or conversation it feels like yelling into the wind.

It's fine if you never leave Calc. If you're trying to use Calc at home and Excel at work, it's absolutely awful. Key bindings aren't the same. Basic things like auto completing formulas is different. It's terrible to flip between the two.

I'm not usually doing any filtering of information. I'm doing calculation based analysis on tax returns for commercial loan underwriting.

I need spreadsheets for work in commercial loan underwriting. We don't have a commercial underwriting system yet so all our templates are excel based. I waited to move to Linux solely because of Excel when working from home. During COVID though my work finally gave everyone laptops so I didn't need to do work on my personal rig anymore.

Excel. There's just basic stuff with LibreOffice and OnlyOffice that work like crap. Like why in LibreOffice when I type =sum then hit tab does it think I'm done with the formula instead of adding the ( and letting me put in the first input. It's awful.

Just saying "it was a joke" doesn't make it a good joke. Have no idea what you even meant by it.

How close are we to Boost for Lemmy? I'm trying Sync and hate it. I miss boost and will buy it day one.

The OP complaining about their mobile provider not having free tethering. Like brother, you knew that when you signed up for the service (or you should have if it was an important thing you needed). It's not meant to replace a home internet connection. If you need a sizeable amount of hotspot, don't skimp on your mobile plan.

Like I can understand being annoyed that you have to pay more for it but it shouldn't be a surprise that you don't have access to it. Learn what you're paying for before you sign up for it. If your internet goes out and you need to rely on it, it shouldn't come as a surprise that you don't have it.

Don't assume companies are going to do what's best for you. They won't. They will try to screw you over. So, understand what services you're paying for and if they don't meet your requirements, find something else. I'm not defending the companies but you should know what you're paying for.

Oh yeah, for sure. I was just throwing out some other ones to check out if they had a different preference on DE or just wanted to check out something different from GNOME. Just adding on to the options!

That's not Google pushing that message. That's your mobile service provider.

I don't know. I have never tried to use my hotspot for YouTube videos. If my internet goes out, the only thing I'd use the hotspot for would be working from home if that was needed. There's other things to do in this world that don't require internet. At that point you bitch at Comcast and get them to fix your shit and get credited for the lost time.

Bitching about the mobile provider that you knew the terms of the service when you signed up is misguided when the issue is that your home internet provider is not living up to their end of the agreement by not providing you with the service for which you're paying. If you don't know what is included in your own phone plan, that's a you problem. Find a new provider.

With Google Fi you get 5GB of free mobile hotspot.

Could also look at Linux Mint (Cinnamon/MATE/XFCE) or Feren OS (KDE).

I would check out AlternativeTo. You can search for programs you use (and filter by OS).

There's barely anything here for what I mainly use reddit for. I use reddit mostly for sports conversation. The sports communities here are dead. There's game threads for baseball games that have zero comments aside from the game day bots posting pitching changes and scoring updates.

Lol downvoted for the truth? -- Seriously, yesterday's game thread for the Orioles. 9 comments. 8 are bot announcements on pitching changes and 1 is the orioles hitting a 2 run home run.

I have worked for the last 6.5 years at a faith based credit union ($400MM in size) despite being an atheist. All of our meetings start with a prayer. They have been good up until recently where we've done more and more investment real estate lending and that doesn't sit well with me with our housing crisis in the US. Have a 3rd interview with a regional bank ($14Bn in size) to move to more C&I and CRE loans instead of single family homes. I know they are still involved in it but I'm not going to be the one writing loans on investment properties. They also do a lot of affordable housing lending and community reinvestment in distressed areas.

That's a shame.

You can make Ubuntu based distros without including snaps. E.g. Linux Mint removes them as well as Rhino Linux. Canonical has made some questionable decisions but one thing Ubuntu does well is drivers and hardware support.
