At some point you're better off switching to a dumb phone for phone calls and a tablet with a data-SIM for everything else.

Godwin's law in effect in comment number two (at the time of writing). I see the sentiment you're trying to portray but maybe try and be a little more verbose so you don't have to name the 20th century atrocities. Something l

I had a lot of trouble remembering keybindings for Vim (and I'm still not very good at coming up with incantations to manipulate text at scale) until I installed Tridactyl for Firefox. Vimium is the Chromium-based equivalent. If you to

Agreed. Pleeeease give us an option to move the notification toast. If I have the system tray open and a toast appears OVER (!?) it, I move to close the toast. That's a click outside the systray, which causes it to close. The notificat
