I keep hearing this, but man was it not my experience. I may have just been unlucky, or maybe it was just our specific resort, but the food we ate on the resort was extremely disappointing. The best meal I ate whole week was a random lunch I ate in a disposable plate (the cochinita pibil was out of this world) before leaving Tulum. Meanwhile most food in Cuba was perfectly fine. On average not the best I ate in my life, but nothing terrible.

It's interesting, I have very wide and flat feet, but support shoes makes my foot slimmer and shorter to the point my Brooks Adrenaline GTS are a full size down from my Vans and at least half a size down from most regular shoes.

Interesting... I've yet to see a team that didn't have regular touch bases not having the polar opposite issue, being communication happening in isolated silos and resolvable issues taking too long to bubble up. YMMV, I guess.

Some things that are apparently classics that generally, outside a handful of titles for some of those, bore me to death: Red Hot Chili Pepper, Tool, Radiohead, Metallica…

KDE6 took a week or so, didn’t it?

No specific answer to every bullet point, but here it is. For reference, the last iPhone I owned before my current iPhone 15 was a 4S, so you can say it had been a while. I still like Android very much, and believe in the importance of there being a thing like AOSP, and I have used Android way more than iOS in my life. I used to be big into rooting/ROMs. IMHO, both stock Android and iOS were incredibly lacking as OSes, but Android at least had rooting and ROMs, and it was much less of a hassle to do it with that than iOS. I still fondly remember my bright red Nexus 5 w/ ParanoidAndroid and a sexy grey/black/red theme. Oh, and Xposed tweaks were neat too.

Biggest reason for switching for me was Android Auto. It’s either complete garbage, or my car’s head unit sucks, but I kept getting random disconnects multiple times per drive. Android Auto just stopped, then reconnected, like if I unplugged and replugged the cable. I tried changing cables for a bunch of different low and high quality brands. I cleaned my USB ports, both on the phone and in the car. I tried a wireless AA adapter dongle. I even changed from a Pixel 5 to a 7 and saw no difference. My nephew had the same issue with his Galaxy Flip in my car. Garage tried to resettle all connectors, etc.

Meanwhile, Carplay worked seamlessly on my wife’s iPhone 11. The last straw was when AA dropped as I was semi-lost downtown in foggy rain. From there, the thought process was basically: is there anything I do on my phone or think I may eventually like to do in this phone’s lifetime, that I can’t easily do with an iPhone? Answer was no. I can sign with Signulous for the odd app I want to sideload like emulators, but like 99% of what I actually need and use is on the App Store. Both stock Android and iOS are, for me, usable enough nowadays. Neither are perfect, but they’re fine as is, and so much less hassle lol.

TL;DR, I don’t really care any less or more about either one of the OS, both their UX is compatible with the things I use a phone for, and CarPlay works better than Android Auto for me.

Some will still want to quit, but the extra steps might have the opposite effect of just not being able to stick to those self-inflicted constraints. I know all too well how it won't happen until you actually want to quit, I've since quit as well, but I know it wouldn't have worked for me, I'd have abandoned this plan in a matter of days, not so compatible with my usual ADHD scatterbrain. Too much organization.

Vapes, going down from 8mg to 0mg over a while, then eventually just having the habit left to drop, was what worked for me. YMMV, of course.

Ah yes, just what I needed. Yet another place showing notifications I'll never look at.

We were both kind of right, actually. The initial 2013 release was Apache 2.0, they moved to BSD+patents by 2014, then relicensed to MIT in 2017

Niagara works fine here.

Blind unwavering nationalism is a cancer. The (North?) American Dream is one of individualism and corporate reliance. It's slowly seeping north of our common border, too.
