Can I use my Nintendo Switch in 20 years from now?
I am trying to choose between buying a Nintendo Switch or a Nintendo DS. This may not be the perfect community to ask - but I can’t think of any better place. The reason for my question: I don’t want to own obsolete hardware in 10 years. Lately most games seem to depend on a “phone home” feature, which is not really an issue for my pc because it is always connected, but a console is something I want to play always and everywhere. I already did some searching and found that games can be played offline fine (most of them, some exceptions are there like Multiplayer and Mortal Kombat), but: - There is something like the paid Nintendo Online Account. I am not planning on having a paid account. How much of the system depends on the account? - Can I have progression in a game (let’s say: one of the Zelda franchise) and will my Wife and Kids all have their own progression, without having to pay for X accounts? - People who own a Switch, let’s take this to extremes, do you feel like in 20 years from now you can still do the same things on your hardware as you can do now? (No multiplayer is fine) Also, feel free to rant about “paying is not owning”, the state of the gaming industry is horrible.
An awesome #ilovefs day to you! 💓

Can registrations on kbin.social be disabled to stop spammers
kbin.social is being overrun with spammers. Can we disable registrations on this instance so they can't keep creating new accounts? Every day I log on, I have to spend the first 20-30 minutes, reporting and blocking a bunch of new accounts.... #kbinMeta

Notes:
I don't like that most notes apps don't let you access to your files, relying instead in cloud synching. One of the few that gives you full control is https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.gsantner.markor/
It let you chose a folder where to save your notes and can manage many types of files (markdown, txt, todo, csv, etc)
I like saving my notes on my SD card, I created different folders to work as notebooks, so for example, I have a folder named "comments" where I edit my comments before posting, one for lists, one for lyrics of songs I like and I'm thinking about making one for cooking recipes.
Music:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.poupa.vinylmusicplayer/
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.phonograph.plus
and https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ch.blinkenlights.android.vanilla
Are the best for offline experience. I really like vinyl's and phonograph's plus UI, simple, yet powerful. Both supports lyrics, metadata editing and at least vinyl can connect to the internet to grab artist picture and bio which can be displayed offline, I'm not sure if phonograph can since it's main focus is privacy and to work fully offline.
The issue i have with both is that they don't work properly on my Samsung tab, I think is the awful Samsung bloatware that makes them stop, and not make full use of all their features.
Vanilla UI isn't the best looking but it has many features when combined with the extensions. The best Foss metadata fetcher and editor. The problem the app have is that it isn't update frequently, and at the moment it has a problem with the notifications. There's already a PR opened in github, so hopefully this get fixed soon.
Keyboard
I'm currently using 2 keyboard apps https://github.com/Helium314/openboard as my main and https://f-droid.org/en/packages/rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod When I'm tire of the autocorrector changing what I write. I know I can disable it on openboard, but most of the times I actually use it and simple board is just more fluid.
