FOSS. I don't pirate at all, it's a security nightmare. If I were to, it'd be heavily sandboxed and definitely not anything important to my day-to-day. It's just not sustainable or ethical, not to mention extremely inconvenient. I just pirate some movies occasionally.

So I also asked what actually situation do you intend to do long form writing where you can't just reach a laptop/tablet. I'm confused on what the use case is here. If you plan on writing for an hour or something, then surely you would've planned ahead and brought something with you. Not to mention phone is seriously going to hamper your wpms.

The buttons are really small, especially with the size of smartphone screens. That's an even bigger problem when you consider the fact your thumb will be fat fingering the buttons, or the side of your thumb will rub up against unintended buttons. Part of why typing in portrait is bearable is the heavy use of autocorrect that basically carries the experience.

You mentioned a tablet in your post which baffles me. Because if you're open to something that large, you can simply just get a foldable keyboard attachment, or get something like a regular 13" laptop which most people opt into. Any situation you want to long form type, you're going to be sitting somewhere for awhile, which at that point just bring a keyboard. It makes no sense not to. Phone texting is usually short bursts.

In what situation do you have the time to type extended amounts of time, but are unable to have a backpack/suitcase/etc that had a laptop/tablet with a keyboard. What is the use case here where you'd have to type long form on mobile?

For me, it's Genshin Impact that keeps my Windows install around. Anti cheat stuff is still bullshit.

Zelda Ocarina of Time or TOTK. Most if the Zelda games really.

Because they host illegal content and don't comply with laws. You can do a simple google search.

They are called bulletproof hosting and are illegal. They get shut down pretty quick for obvious reasons. You won't find any reputable ones for a reason, because they don't want to be hosting illegal content like CP. They also get their IPs blacklisted and automatically marked as spam/suspicious/phishing. It's just a bad idea. You can have private hosting and not anonymous hosting, they are not the same.

Users absolutely make or break the platform, they are the product. But, power users mean fuck all lol. Reddit could remove every single Moderator and chronic uploaders from the site overnight and the quality would go up.

You should never pay for for-profit social media, it's fundamentally backwards. Their service is not the product, your contributions and presence are. They are nothing without you, and require you.

The exception is things like instances on the Fedi where it's not for profit and you're putting up a server to include yourself.

Were people under the impression that deleted comments are actually deleted? The second you post a comment, it's immediately archived indefinitely by Reddit and third party websites. Reddit does not have an option to actually delete stuff, and this is an example that the delete button doesn't actually delete. There's also no way to mass delete your comments when you want to delete your account. In fact it's permabannable for whatever reason. Yes this is a violation of the law and they should absolutely be sued into oblivion for intentionally and actively breaking GDPR, and just being incredibly privacy invasive in general. Not like privacy exists on Reddit though, that's why profiles are public without any option to hide them.

Fuck Reddit. I hope the company goes out of business.

I love my Deck, except my life got busy and all the games I play require mb+k. Thought I'd end of using it a lot more lol.
