Yeah, I used to have Messenger Lite, but they discontinued that. I should probably consider switching to full Messenger, and not browsing FB at all on my phone.

If WhatsApp got banned, all those groups would simply switch to Telegram or Signal or similar. It would be very easy.

I like all the community groups that I'm part of on it. There isn't really any substitute for that. I dislike pretty much everything else on there though, especially all the stupid videos and stuff it shows.

Heh, honestly I'm kind of touched that you went to that effort. Obviously I was using hyperbole. But I can say for sure that my life as a developer and second-rate sysadmin improved when I adopted as policy that I would never ever writ

I don't understand this bit either, unless "proper" means Bash. Because no one should ever write Bash under any circumstances.
