Isn’t 365 a combo subscription for word plus a bunch of other stuff? I can’t imagine many of those people are paying exclusively to use word

I’m not a great example since I’m a lemmy user, Linux user, and a million other things that makes me weird as a computer user. But I do have to exist in the modern world and file paperwork and shit just like everyone else, and I honestly don’t think I’ve had to interact with a docx file in at least 6 or 7 years. It’s all PDFs and web forms. Work is all Google Docs and confluence and that type of shit. It’s probably been 10 years since the last time I even opened an MS word client proper, once I left academia.
Anyway, I agree with you. Word seems deader than a door nail in terms of any text editing zeitgeist

Sony has been the publisher for a zillion games via SEI. They also own a bunch of actual game development studios.
They literally own Naughty Dog (The Last of Us, Uncharted, all the way back to Crash Bandicoot), Arrowhead Studios (Helldivers), Guerilla Games (Horizon) and now also Bungie (Destiny, Halo). That’s just a few of the big studios they own. Complete list here: www.gamesradar.com/playstation-studios-sony/

Some of the third party steam machines from 2015 actually had some distribution to Walmart stores. I saw it in the flesh!

Seriously. People wonder why politics in America has become a game of Jerry Springer style antics. Then you see people eat up garbage political “content” like this.
If you’re gonna spend your time focusing on politics, at least try to avoid wasting your regurgitating their circus PR events.

Yeah I don’t think people realize that the biggest advantage of owning is to lock yourself into a stable housing cost. Even before it’s paid off, you lock in a more or less stable monthly housing bill. Maintenance sucks, big ticket repairs suck. But you’re always going to need somewhere to live.
I bought a place ten years ago, and if I was renting the same house today it would be about double the mortgage. Sure, I highly doubt that doubling will happen again in another ten years. But I doubt even more that we will ever see the prices back at 2015 level.
