It gets easier after a month-ish and you've somewhat adapted, but yeah it's a struggle. I completely fell off when lockdown started years back.

Well for cellphones I was more thinking photography, audio EQ, voice commands, search, navigation, etc. Any problem that isn't easily formalized and handled by traditional coding.
That's gonna be a lot of wet Astrophysicists. Also anyone with a cellphone, really.
Yeah, I read the comment. The thesis of the title isn't supported by the article, which makes for a confusing read.
That's not based on the article is it? The article seems to attribute growth primarily to the war economy.
Not only is it not Linux, but the operating system is closed source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmonyOS. According to the article it's built on top of "OpenHarmony," but that does little to assuage my disappointment.
Yes, in that it uses the Linux Kernel. It's not typically considered a Linux distribution because most everything else in the OS is custom and Google-suffused. In particular Android lacks GNU libraries and tools.
Which is doubly worse because those higher-level libraries are black boxes, and you can’t always fix things that arise inside of them easily.
If by "higher level" you mean something like Java libraries, I'd say the opposite is true - at least if you don't have the source for a Java class it is trivial to decompile and have something immediately readable. Can't say the same for something like a dll originally written in C++.
- old webpages (like from the 2000s) are fast and snappy
- new webpages take much longer to load
Modern webpages are less like a page and more like a full blown application. If you're not careful you'll get an unoptimized mess, which is exacerbated when you put a bunch of ads on top.
That being said I don't have memories of everything being snappy 20 years ago - there were messy scripts and gigantic images that made Geocities and Angelfire sites near unusable back then as well.
I cut out carbs and started hiking but I didn't cut out all of my "vices." Caffeine and the occasional shot of liquor, sex, video games. Way too much YouTube, the most pernicious of all.
Watching the weight go down on the scale also helped form a positive feedback loop.
