As an Australian engineer, I low key hope the same. However, I'll be sticking with a VPN and google for technical related searches (Bing/DDG can't compete with Google, unfortunately).

I'm also self taught (to an extent). When I was making the transition to tech, I dived into the fundamentals very deeply with a collection of MOOCs (CS50 by Harvard is a great place to start regardless of your current skill level). I a

Not OP but in a similar situation. The main lock-ins for WhatsApp with my friends/family/colleagues are: 1. Group chats. SMS group chat doesn't exist (or it's next to unknown) in Australia. 2. Sharing images and videos.
