Unfortunately I think this is an uncommon situation with your sample size + mine. I flew two Southwest flights recently and neither of them were able to let 1.1.1.1/WARP through, at least for iOS. They were both different plane models.

Not everybody uses social media the same way and some people need instant exposure to the community to get a better start. It doesn't help that these types of posts just make people feel like they're stupid.

I don't think you can really stop these types of topics from getting popular, because it's the crowd that the Fediverse attracts unfortunately. I tried to refer friends but the Fediverse system is too unnecessary for their needs and I respect that. Unless there's some way to simplify the entire concept, or ways for newcomers to be easily onboarded, I fear all of this is going to fall into the same niche hole as the Linux community.

While Sony is a company that will keep around features from the good old days, like SD Card slot and the Headphone Jack, they also keep around the 2, maybe 3 years of software updates promise and I don’t think that’s acceptable in 2023 especially with a 1400 USD phone they’re about to sell.

Ability to use the screen as a display through the USB port so I can debug a lot of my systems at home without needing to carry a monitor around.
