Still got my phone from 2020, I really like the phone but the software is creaking, even the custom ROM I moved to is now discontinued and no Lineage available.

I looked at porting something myself but it is ... not trivial to say the least.

Just feels frustrating that the phone still works fine but is gradually losing functionality and I can't update it. Also ngl I really miss having contactless payments. I've tried all the fixes I can find online with no success.

It's a contrived example because you wouldn't ask "what time is it there?" in a world where everywhere uses the same timezone

I was reading it and genuinely thought it meant South Asian Indian at first

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

The joke still works anyway because the life at the bottom of the ocean would be ignorant of that

No, it's not just about DRM, currently the storefronts do not guarantee continued access to the content.

For example, Valve can just close your Steam account at their discretion and you would no longer be able to log in or download any of your games

100% and I'm sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the "Why should I?" lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It's not just for the benefit of society as a whole, "you" as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

100% this, I've been a few times to pubs etc. where they tell you the kitchen closing time separately from the pub closing time but then when you try to order food before that they say they already took last orders because the kitchen staff finish at that time.

Like bro, politely I do not care what time your staff finish their shift, it doesn't affect me. As a customer, I care what time service ends - that's the time that should be included on the opening hours to the public.

Hasn't been called ".NET Core" since 3.1

Although it's essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it's just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/...
