That is true. I prefer an experience that's more fiddly and annoying overall, but that can be customised to fit my preferred usage if necessary. I would not be happy on an iPhone, stuck with what they have chosen. I like to install my

What's wrong with working around barriers? I find Tasker useful for fixing things I don't like about my phone that are otherwise beyond my ability to fix. For example... 1. By default my phone remembers the last media volume level

The US has a lot of infrastructure that was built around the same time period. That is why so much of it is reaching its end-of-life around the same time. The replacement phase for all of this infrastructure has not necessarily been planned

It's reasonable to provide a single implementation of an interface, if the goal is to facilitate dependency injection for that component. The problem I find with Spring is that it is designed for dependency injection at all levels of i

If I've correctly understood what you mean, I've wanted this for some time now. A way to preserve history while adding a single, linear integration of changes.
