Flipper
But you won't be able to talk to someone on the official servers
I much prefer getting told of that it doesn't match a trait than get 600 characters of which the majority is implementation detail of global allocators und from what exactly the string is derived.
As my prof put it: "Every few years it's announced that analog computing is coming back. But everyone is still using digital computing only"
Wrong translation on my side. Check the updates tab. On more recent versions you've got the "Status", those are the stories people are talking about. Below that are the channels of influencers and other people I don't care about.
At least for me on android there are 4 Tabs. Community's, chats, ~~current~~ updates, calls.
Edit: I checked the translation.
It's in the second tab, where stories are. Stories used to stay open, so you could easily see the ones you already watched. Now they disappear into a watched drawer that is by default closed. They need the space to show you channels, like the one of the owner Sugar mountain or random tiktokers.
There are places delivery with drones makes a lot of sense and is the best way to do it. It depends what the most important metric is.
In an African country they are delivering medicin and bloodbaths with a drone plane to hospitals that need them for emergencys. That way they only need to have one central stock of these supply's that can be quickly dispatched. Driving wouldn't be an option that would take several hours over bad roads. Veritasium did a video about it.
For Amazon deliveries it makes no sense at all.
They were bought last year by epic games. Now they were sold to songtradr, probably because it wasn't profitable enough for EPiC. As part of that more than half the people were let go.
They'll want their money's worth, so prices fo up, or in this case the percentage cut. My bet is also the enshitification is starting soon. For now it's fine, the future, probably not. But that's just my guess.
As for alternatives, I've got none.
You'll hate to hear what is currently happening with Bandcamp.
Considering how the company is leaded with debt, I wouldn't be surprised if a single € would be overpaying currently.
