I don't think there is any way to heal tinnitus. The best you can do is get habituated to it, that is get used to it. The only way is as you have found is to concentrate or do something else.

No it is because people don:t write documentation any more. New languages tend to be open source and the ethos is read the source. Which I think is wrong.

Not really now. If you use Windows or macOS then you can open all your time using the OS suppliers tools or tools bought from third parties. In macOS you can use UNIX but it is the FreeBSD world so no GNU or Linux there. In windows if you w

I am confused by your comments. I read them as asking why Calibre does not provide a renderer as the main thing but provides other things that people don't need. My comments are that calibre is designed for the things you say people do

Several reasons. It is a cross platform application in python using QT so is not really for mobile it even possible. What you state as things it does not need are the things that it was designed to do - reading ebooks came along quite late

Pedantically this is correct still. You are not using UNIX unless you paid for a mac or iPhone (or higher cost machines like IBM AIX et.) Linux is not a UNIX - it is not certified. Noone has paid for it to be certified.

Not really - if you were using python heavily you would not be using Apple python but installed from python.org or Anaconda or a package manager to control what version is in use Also Apple did give an OS release or two warning I think.

yes they are private but that allows them to ban parts of the public and actions of the public e.g. banning people, throwing peopl out for misbehaviour - and that latter could inclde taking photos if the owner wanted.
