What if my job was to ensure that Kråkan has a job, like the people at arbetsförmedlingen, and his job was to ensure that I have a job.
We would both be doing a good job, and we'd have plenty of time for other things.

Thanks to @ella for telling me how to uninstall ununinstallable Android programs.
After uninstalling YouTube that way, I was allowed to re-add youtube.corn URLs to NewPipe, making them usable again.

we do need a better name for moving away from centralized tech and big corporate commerce. decentralized is a bit of a mouthful for casual use, maybe we could shorten it to... 'decent'

"#RSS, an open format, didn’t give technology companies the control over data and eyeballs that they needed to sell ads, so they did not support it. But the more mundane reason is that centralized silos are just easier to design than common standards."

Request: Is anyone here familiar with AWS and know of any good resources for a newbie to get up to speed with it if they, say, had to parachute into an existing project built on things like API Gateway, Lambdas and DynamoDB Tables?

I admit I was somewhat hoping this "16-million-year-old tardigrade discovered in amber is a 'once in a generation' find" was going to end with, "and the tardigrade was fine." Alas.

When you want to test the speed of propagation of electricity, you use what you have on hand?

"In 1746 Jean-Antoine Nollet wired 200 monks in a mile-long circle and zapped them with a battery of Leyden jars. One can only imagine the reaction of the circuit of clerics, but their simultaneous jerking and no doubt not-terribly pious exclamations demonstrated that electricity moved very quickly indeed."
