An in-depth analysis that explains how this console works internally

If there's XMPP involved in that pattern then I question your recollection of events that happened. If anything this is going to be more like e-mail where commercial service providers might want to set up some obstacles to avoid spam but also hurt little guys in the process. We'll see how that goes with EU DSA laws though.
I tried to use AutoSleep and it's just too janky and annoying to use though. Being able to trigger alarm early based on sleep cycle stage was a game changer though.

MUDs, Usenet, and open source all play a part in 50 years of IF history.

Nintendo business model, like any other, is a product of trade-offs. They sell hardware without subsidies. That hardware is outdated so it's vulnerable to emulation and piracy which is why they are so intent on fighting it. Since they don't need to make up for selling hardware at loss and don't get into expensive development they have to compete on quality and fun. They seem to be doing very well on that front - you're so sour about about how Nintendo is making it hard to get their old games but that's because those games are still worth playing.
As to Pokémon, it's not a very good example. Pokémon Company is 32% owned by Nintendo which could be argued is the reason that their games are so bad. Nintendo very rarely does sequels that don't offer anything of considerable novelty. They'd probably be openly pissed at Pokémon Company for damaging Nintendo brand if it didn't rake in so much money.
While it annoys us, they have always primarily served Japanese market and those guys seem to be enjoying limited drops and stuff like that. We need better laws on game preservation because public companies exist to maximize value and can't be expected to do charity.
It's hard to dispute that Nintendo is the only big player with a healthy business model. Their games are mostly fun, original and free of in-app purchases. They keep churning those games out at the time when everyone else is in a slump. Their litigious behavior is shameful but in other areas they are that idyllic model.
Having own client API doesn't affect ActivityPub compatibility.
Turning all communities into auxiliary c/piracy circlejerk is proving detrimental to experience of everyone else though. I usually ignore posts that don't interest me and downvote offtopic stuff only.
This place loses its function when people vote on posts based on whether they like companies mentioned rather than content value or newsworthiness.

They'll probably pull the rug one way or another. Maybe they won't because users could then move from Threads to a Mastodon instance that supports their favorite app and still keep in touch with all the people they follow.

If you're reliant on third party add-ons you don't have a choice. Bloomberg and Eikon are two examples that didn't have a good Python API back then. Even after I started to use Python more sometimes I had to script opening up Excel itself, forcing formula refresh and exporting that.
You also need to consider that average Joe at a big financial corporation knows Excel so he uses that for everything. People that know Python are more expensive.
There are environments where Excel is used as glue that does faux-ETL for very unpredictable data which is so small in volume you don't even consider a database. Also, database would mean MS Access which is just icky so it was used only when necessary.
I think at certain point you're kind of expected to switch to INDEX & MATCH. I did plenty of Excel macros for work back in the day and at similar point I just switched to doing things in Python.

Microsoft Excel is arguably the world’s most important piece of business software. Can it also be a sport?

That seems adequately priced for the piece of art it is. Also too expensive for me :D
Oh wow, that's amazing. That second link is like a whole art gallery. How much are those?
I don't know what it is but it's pretty and I want it.
Apple recreating Google Inbox would be an ultimate power move.
There's no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn't overwhelm moderators.
So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.
That's why I keep saying it's pointless to defederate corpos. They'll just scrape everything before you notice.
