It's good that LibreOffice exists and it can be a decent replacement for someone writing a simple document every once in a while. I can not take anyone seriously who claims it is anywhere near as good as the MS stuff. Recently I created a presentation in Impress and it was hell on earth. I ran into multiple bugs and handling formatting was just horrid working with the master/template slides (or whatever they are called) was essentially impossible.

Currently working with OnlyOffice which works better by a considerable margin.

    If enough people think that a simple "yay" is funny enough to be upvoted near the top it probably is. If it is not upvoted it is not really a problem. Sure they are low-effort comments but in the age of ChatGPT, you can also write low-effort answers that are much longer. It is the voter's responsibility, not the moderator's, to separate interesting posts from non-interesting ones.

    I'll visit New York City in a few weeks (for a week). What are some things that I should see/experience?

    Doesn't need to be an unknown attraction but maybe not something that is in every top 10 list.

    So far I was advised to go to the Top of The Rock rather than the Empire State (since you can see the latter from the former).

    Blockchains have the property of being append-only, so a blockchain is precisely what makes it impossible to delete transactions. That being said, in a distributed system, once the message leaves trusted servers, it is obviously also impossible to delete it.
