I finally got to experience this from the inside. I was on the team that interviewed people to back fill my position after I was promoted. We didn't interview 1 external candidate. Promoted someone from below and then hired a new entry level person. We realized our internal hire has less experience, but they were the safe fast option that could get started right away.

Ive done the library management before. For the moment I'm still content with paying for spotify premium. I bet they will raise their prices in the future to make me rethink that, but for now i enjoy not having to manage a huge collection and my spotify recommendations arent terrible yet.

I've been looking since this was first announced forever ago but can't find a comparable alternative. My two main requirements are being able to create folders for apps in the app drawer and being able to assign "swiping up" on my home screen icon for the to open hidden apps or actions. I would love if anyone had a suggestion that included those two features.

Next version will just be a white oval.

Definitely miss the niche communities, but not enough to go back.

We only test backups when they are finally needed

Start them if they aren't here yet. You can always hand them off if you want.

I'm a loser

I would imagine it should be easier to block as long as everything is playing by the same rules.

now you're on another list

Awesome write up. Thanks for all you do.

It seems to me like "maybe", pretty much always means no.
