I don’t have access to my music torrent site anymore due to the first one shutting down (W.CD) and then going idle on the other one for years. Don’t feel like re-downloading everything either since I lost all my music in a hard drive crash. Could probably recover it from my Cowon X7 but don’t know where the cable is for that anymore.

I find this to be an option with Movies/TV Shows but a struggle with Music. At least once my kids were older and listening to stuff. They were constantly asking for stuff to be downloaded, my mom and wife were asking for stuff, my brother, etc. Had a subsonic server set up and just got tired of actively managing it. Spotify isn’t great but it works and it saves a headache. I just wish there was better options because I don’t like the Spotify app. YouTube Music is even worse, especially since it subscribes to everything on YouTube too so all my subscriptions got jacked up.

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.

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.

At least it seems like some of the reddit app developers (like Boost) are making apps for Lemmy so hopefully the influx of developers losing their livelihood on reddit will be able to get some of that back over here.
