Reminds of
It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal
By Henry Kissinger

The first thing that came to my mind is perhaps October Surprise is something pleasant and giving a feeling of relief after Eternal September
Addictive tobacco has reinvented itself. Vaping, gummies, and probably more.
New Shepard (of Blue Origin that dick shaped space flight in which Jeff Bezos took off for his first mission)
Given what happened on the stock market, looks like this is a step towards bracing for the impact that recession might bring. Not that everyone would line up at the shops in the CBD recession or not as it feels like one anyway. Just a cop out to say that we tried by bringing your potential customers in your vicinity. What fun times to look forward to.
Answering the question with a counter question
Why do we ask a question whilst already knowing its answer?
Calculated misery by Tim Wu explains a lot of this. Goes on to show how airlines and other industries as well. I think the paper was published in 2014.
Start listening to Dr Michael Greger. You'll thank yourself at 40.
When making your worldviews, difficult as it might be, consider listening to the news from original source. Say, for China related stories, look up Chinese publications, translate them to a couple of other languages you know. Ask yourself what each narrator or writer wants you to think and do after listening to their side of the story. This habit will make traveling a better experience in many ways.
Write a journal everyday. Write a meal and snack journal everyday and include any alcohol, drug as well in it. Review them every now and then. Never miss any vaccine. The journals will come in handy for everything from planning weight loss, effectiveness of any diet or exercise, sicknesses, mental health issues, to helping your doctors help you better. Course correction will get simpler and ever easier.
If you ever think of kids, do consider stopping with one. This boiling, frying planet we have made ourselves need not be inflicted on any more than one little one of yours.
Tangential answer. Consider looking into Prolog, Picat, Mercury languages. You can effectively let the database design be taken care of by the language. In return you get more time to reflect on your knowledge base and ask it all sorts of questions and get a range of possible answers.
Org-roam and its web cousin webnotes both have solved designing the database for note taking purpose using g sqlite as a back end. Good options.
I might have missed if it was in the article. Sorry in advance for that.
Do we have any idea regarding the top 3 or top 5 reasons that drove potential contributors away? Not in terms of hypotheses, asking about actual studies, interviews, surveys, etc
Byobu provides good abstraction on tmux as well as screen. Allows you to choose keybindings from any of the two.
From what I can see on the F-Droid description, Focus connects to iTunes, presumably in addition to the same places Antenna does, for podcast search indexing
A few months ago I blindly copied the hosts file from https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist as I was used to on BSD and Linux systems. It bricked Windows. Turns out that I had to use the installer script for Windows. Realised too late. That was my final goodbye to the Redmond giant.
For running a walled garden with iron grip, Apple allows copying the hosts file. Which I use for things like certification exams and any governmental agency stuffs.
Gave up after clicking on the next links starting at get started page. I was looking for any example which shows commands with corresponding results. Has anyone here had better luck and could please share a few?
TIA
Bash as it is what I'm most familiar with. Having an eye out on the https://amber-lang.com/ that compiles to bash for future scripting purposes.
Three diets come to the mind. Mediterranean, Atlantic, Mormon diet as it is designed and followed in America. Followers of these diets tend to live healthy and long. What the three diets have in common is, each of them is local and seasonal to a large extent.
Local and seasonal. Eases the transportation load and refrigeration load. Both contribute to what you refer to as good for the planet .
Perhaps letting every region design and foster its own local and seasonal diet is a good idea.
That brings us to the food industry. How may we escape the sales and marketing armies of the food industry? A great challenge indeed.

Probably simple, whilst incredibly difficult. We can begin with removing by-products and side effects and every last synonym of the two from our vocabulary.
Coal and gas energy comes with green house gases which we conveniently called side effects and ignored. Only those side effects have grown exponentially to haunt us.
Nuclear energy comes with the question of nuclear waste.
No idea about what solar panels and wind turbines come with.
Every energy generation endeavour is an all or none, take it or leave it deal. Unless our culture accepts this, incredibly difficult.
Incredibly difficult because every listed business is required by law to grow at all costs and deliver profits and growths to the shareholders. Who has the backbone to put a strict speed limit on profits and growths? How do we police the speeds of business growths? Or how and where do we start?
More incredibly difficult because of sustained campaigns such as individual carbon footprint with backing from some of the deepest pockets.
While on the topic of side effects and by products, another huge elephant in the room is the agriculture industry. I think we can leave it for another discussion.
