Which phone was it? Sony has products in the low, mid and high price range and the cheaper phones naturally are weaker than an iPhone. If you compare the flagship models of the two brands the Xperia is at least on the same level of power as the iPhone.

And as an anecdote: I had an iPhone a few years ago and hated it most of the time (and I say this while using a three year old phone that cost me 200€ at the time)

There are many phones with a headphone jack that have an IP68 rating which invalidates your whole point. If the headphone jack was so compromising then Apple would have needed to remove the charging port as well.

Or if you buy the better ones you can usually replace the cord with a new one, making it work again.

I recently got myself a Teufel Zola on a sale and am really satisfied with it. It has good audio (as far as I can tell), is comfortable and looks nice.

Technically it is self-driving but just in the sense that it doesn't need any external power sources like horses to pull it.

Danke für die netten Worte. Ist wirklich cool, dass du dich einer so stabilen Partei anschließt, ich habe lustigerweise vor, die Piraten in der Europawahl zu wählen, also kann ich dann die sechste Stimme sein, auch wenn wir glaube ich nicht im selben Wahlbezirk wohnen.

Sorry für's blöd sein, aber welche Partei meinst du konkret? Die Piraten?

I can't be arsed to read the ToS again, but is it also forbidden to just share an account between several people?

My brother and I opened up that account six years ago and except for the times I forgot to turn my internet off to not be kicked out of games while my brother plays one we never had problems. It would be really shitty if we got into trouble for this because the account is valued somewhere between 1.500 and 4.300€ and is the most expensive thing I own except for my PC.

If those people are marginalised why not make organisations that help them get into programming?

When you think about stereotypical programmers, you usually picture a white guy somewhere between 30 and 50 years of age (at least in Europe and I presume the USA). Coding used to be a profession that was predominantly made up of women but when it became clear that it would become an important job more and more men became interested in IT so that now there are about eight male programmers out of ten.

Black people have similar issues (and god forbid you are a black woman) in that they often are paid worse for the same jobs than white people and have worse chances to get good secondary education and academic jobs even if they have the same intelligence as white people. Helping people to get into computer sciences that statistically have way lower chances to do so without any fault of their own is a good thing in my opinion.

Larian Studios who made Baldur's Gate 3 could technichally be called an Indie dev despite the big budget and employee count. The company is privately owned by its founder and the games are self published.

It wasn't metadata it was an entirely optional recovery email address that he used for his apple account.

Our old town hall was originally built in the 15th century but it is kind of a ship of Theseus situation as the oldest parts were destroyed in WWII.
