My experience sitting in on 112 dispatchers as part of my EMS training was different. Multiple times per shift a caller would just start the conversation with something like “This is no emergency, I'm an employee of Vodafone/T-Mobile/etc and have to test 112”. Only network operators calling this way though, no phone manufacturers.
I don‘t know whether it is net good or bad for the individual, but it’s definitely bad for modern climate and environment compared to more plant-based diets.
Been years in the making… And has enough lead time to still buy popcorn for watching how the big ones will get out of their way to comply in the most malicious way possible.
I don't know all of your mentioned apps that well, but the ones I know just hide the markdown and provide shortcuts and buttons to insert it. I for one almost never use the shortcuts or syntax insertion buttons in Bear, instead writing like I would in notepad.exe and enjoying the clean looks. I guess one could call that kind of hybrid between WYSIWYG and plain text…
Well, count me in the third group: I make use of hierarchical storage, consistent naming conventions, and other organizational tricks to give me a rough idea of where any file might be. I also fail miserably at it (apart from dev/programming stuff, which all is in `~/dev/<project name>`) and rely heavily on search to find anything again.
As search is fast enough nowadays with indexing, I'd rather have it search the whole disk every time than the directory I'm in just to realize I've put it someplace else.
The difference is that serving Access Denied Leads to the users of these malicious browsers just getting more ads over time, as the filter lists can’t be updated anymore. Serving a special list containing popular sites would result in the users almost instantly not being able anymore to access these popular sites, resulting in requests to the developers to fix their shitty browser or switching altogether.
I learned it combining the Book and Rustlings. There's a table in the exercises directory mapping the exercises to the chapters of the book, so I'd every day do the exercises for yesterdays chapter first before todays chapter to have some sort of spaced repetition.

Should just be a payment terminal instead of an app. Beyond that, there's App Clips for one time use, and accessibility is worse on the web than on the iPhone (can't speak for Android). For printing and sharing, might be right, but it's broken on websites often enough, too. There are lots of developers (or their management) not caring about UX at all on both sides..
Here in Germany, “Sparkassen” and “Volksbanken”, which together have >50% market share, both don't support Google Pay, instead providing their own (according to acquaintances using them, not that good) payment apps. They both support Apple Pay, though.
In short, the process is something like this: 1) Chrome implements a new feature they think is useful 2) Google uses their people in the standard committees to push it into the standards 3a) it's actually useful: other Browsers implement it or 3b) it's basically useful to Google: they'll continue blaming other browsers to not implement standards, “This website works only in Chrome” incoming
What is this open ecosystem worth if it's not as good as the closed one we have now? The choice always was there as one can buy Android (and install some Open(TM)Rom) or any niche OS.
Hm, why does my mom call me every few months for help with her Windows laptop, then? She never needed help with her phone, since she tossed the Android one for my old iPhone (ok, actually once, but that was a faulty charging cable)..
Safari has better UI and less battery use on my Mac. On the iPhone and iPad it just has better UI, hard to compare battery use without engine alternative.
I want that crap.
Part of why I like Apple products is because they tend to have more apps made natively and well fitting into the ecosystem. I don't want web apps which use double the energy, don't look and feel like they were designed for iPhone/Mac. And I use Safari because it does everything it has to (display information) while using the least energy for it. I've yet to see any really good web app, no matter the browser or device.
