I'd argue that it's not even a problem if more food is wasted. If it's a small percentage, it's still going to be a net win for the environment if it dramatically reduces the amount of plastic used for food packaging. Th

I can imagine. In my country the electricity meters only deal with winter time (UTC+2). Most suppliers have different rates for day and night, so in winter night rates start at 12am and in summer they start at 11pm (or is it the other way a

I'm not sure if that's true anymore. Last year I switched to Android and paid for some high quality apps, spending more than I have probably ever on Apple. I've noticed that Android free apps are usually more restrictive and

Revolut, N26 and Monzo all have premium accounts with metal cards which are nothing than a status symbol. The banking industry has been doing this for years though with premium credit cards, so it's nothing new.

It's quite subjective, but my view is Matrix is what XMPP would like if it was written today. The main advantages are it is using JSON instead of XML, and HTTP instead of custom protocols so it can work directly from browsers and with
