A remember seeing a national landline operator accepting SMS sent to its numbers, and reading them to the user after converting them to speech. The result was not exactly exciting, but the idea wasn't half bad.

You can use also a local DNS server for your whole home network. If you think it is too much work you can use something ready-made like pi-hole [1]. The nice part is that it will work also for your phone while you're on wifi. [1] http

I would love an option like "do not show anything from this contact unless it is original content, or at most share of an original content". That would remove 90% of the crap from the feed (i.e. the "viral" part).

I will also add that libraries that operates at bytecode level (such as AspectJ) may be incompatible with newer JVM versions. This can be a problem since they are often used by higher level frameworks to do their "magic" (one exam
