The first thing that came to my mind is perhaps October Surprise is something pleasant and giving a feeling of relief after Eternal September

Addictive tobacco has reinvented itself. Vaping, gummies, and probably more.

Answering the question with a counter question

Why do we ask a question whilst already knowing its answer?

Calculated misery by Tim Wu explains a lot of this. Goes on to show how airlines and other industries as well. I think the paper was published in 2014.

Start listening to Dr Michael Greger. You'll thank yourself at 40.

When making your worldviews, difficult as it might be, consider listening to the news from original source. Say, for China related stories, look up Chinese publications, translate them to a couple of other languages you know. Ask yourself what each narrator or writer wants you to think and do after listening to their side of the story. This habit will make traveling a better experience in many ways.

Write a journal everyday. Write a meal and snack journal everyday and include any alcohol, drug as well in it. Review them every now and then. Never miss any vaccine. The journals will come in handy for everything from planning weight loss, effectiveness of any diet or exercise, sicknesses, mental health issues, to helping your doctors help you better. Course correction will get simpler and ever easier.

If you ever think of kids, do consider stopping with one. This boiling, frying planet we have made ourselves need not be inflicted on any more than one little one of yours.

Tangential answer. Consider looking into Prolog, Picat, Mercury languages. You can effectively let the database design be taken care of by the language. In return you get more time to reflect on your knowledge base and ask it all sorts of questions and get a range of possible answers.

Org-roam and its web cousin webnotes both have solved designing the database for note taking purpose using g sqlite as a back end. Good options.

I might have missed if it was in the article. Sorry in advance for that.

Do we have any idea regarding the top 3 or top 5 reasons that drove potential contributors away? Not in terms of hypotheses, asking about actual studies, interviews, surveys, etc

Byobu provides good abstraction on tmux as well as screen. Allows you to choose keybindings from any of the two.

From what I can see on the F-Droid description, Focus connects to iTunes, presumably in addition to the same places Antenna does, for podcast search indexing

A few months ago I blindly copied the hosts file from https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist as I was used to on BSD and Linux systems. It bricked Windows. Turns out that I had to use the installer script for Windows. Realised too late. That was my final goodbye to the Redmond giant.

For running a walled garden with iron grip, Apple allows copying the hosts file. Which I use for things like certification exams and any governmental agency stuffs.
