I think that you're not looking for love but for perfection. That might be the problem, you can't find perfection.

Did your phone connected to his wifi? If so, that's very likely the reason for this.

Too bad you need external tools anda lot of boilerplate that you must remember to enforce to achieve this, because it's an after thought and not a language feature. And there's 7-8 different annotations to mark nullability, all sl

- Inoreader, with few sources such as BBC that don't focus on sensationalism - Lichess I dropped all the social media except for Twitter, just because I use it really rarely (less than once per day)

> Changes in WhatsApp’s privacy policy had directed users to use Telegram. This is quite ironic. Telegram managed to sell itself as a more private Whatsapp while in reality it is WAY worse in this area. Amazing and sad.

As an Italian, I say that the top reason is not schooling or scarce attitude, it's humiliating salaries. You work hours and hours and get peanuts for your efforts. While your employer buys the 5th Porsche. I come from one of the riches

> I've put in countless hours of work every day (70-90 hrs), being on-call almost 24/7, sometimes for straight 7 days for months despite only getting paid on a salary basis on 40 hr work weeks; being a loner helps with working

My opinion is that the demand for small phones will be satisfied by foldable phones. I see that option more viable and effective.

well, that's a Pyrrhic victory. Still a victory, true.

True and agreeable, but I think more and more people are realizing and fighting this. It's a bit like with climate change. We're not going to like what we need to do to stop it, but we must do it.

I totally agree. Overall the quality just dropped dramatically and what made Netflix great is disappearing.

IMHO it's mostly about high prices in exchange of mediocre content. With all the competition, the quantity of available shows is now higher but the average quality is lower. Personally I often think to drop Netflix as well, there'
