It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I've never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

Testing in prod is a power move honestly. Rock star-level

Not saying there's any reason to switch, but I believe you can load CSV's into sqlite.

Datasette would be something that I would try for CSV's as well, that seems like an interesting piece of technology I haven't had reason to use yet.

Finally there's always Jupiter Notebook and any respectable DataFrame-solution.

Not to knock spreadsheet-solutions too much - I certainly see their value and use them frequently - but if I had to do something that warranted writing VBA, I'd probably reach for a tool I could combine with some form of VCS like Git at least.

Basically guaranteed to be a clear text offender

• Video games: lifelong tech interest + it was what the other people in school were doing? I found that I like to compete as well
• Podcasts: monotonous tasks always really annoyed me as I was mentally understimulated. Listening to podcasts solved that particular issue, and now I can wash dishes and clean for days at a time
• Walking: I was overweight and wanted to change that, and I had trouble getting into running due to me finding it mind-numbingly boring. Just walking and walking a lot was very helpful in this regard. Combined with the aforementioned podcasts it was a winning combination
• Biking: I don't own a car by choice, being able to get around more than just fine with transit where I live. During the pandemic while I was working from home, this became a challenge as I didn't want to risk infection when going to buy food or other things. As such, I dusted off an old bicycle, and started using it to get around my local area. I quickly noticed that it was great fun to bike, despite having just a bog-standard terrible bike. I then changed jobs and wanted to go to the office more, and figured one day that I would try to combine my new-found interest in biking with my desire to be at the office by commuting by bike. It was a bit hard to justify time-wise as it was generally faster to go by transit, which motivated me to go faster every day to try to beat the transit alternative. As such, every day became two small races, and I fell in love. Cycling is way more fun than running and I have never been healthier than I am today, I believe.

Kotlin-style async is pretty neat, ngl.

I'm sure they make enough money to not care. Being in the part of the company that brings in the dough is generally a pretty good position to be in as well.

I seriously doubt it. At most this is probably an A/B-test or some content-specific restrictions.

Not necessary, apps can register to open links from specific domains.

The only caveat is that if they don't also own the domain - like Google owns both youtube.com and the YouTube Android app - you have to manually go to the settings for the app in System Settings and enable them, under 'Open by default'.

Podcasts often dynamically generate ads at the point of download, making the SponsorBlock-approach unviable: since the media is expected to be variable-length you can't store media positions that map to advertisement segments.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I'd be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

A service I use at work had an outage, but it made little difference to me.
