There are also Faircamp and Mirlo, if you are looking for even fairer and progressive alternatives.

Reeder is not known for their quality. Or for their truthfulness, for that matter.

A couple years back Reeder has caught red handed with fake cameras (3 "cameras" on the back, but actually only one camera inside) on devices. They have first rejected it, then scrubbed their marketing collateral about it being a three-camera phone.

Most of Turkish cell producers sell shit stuff.

You decide on who you are and anybody telling you who you are can ef right off.

Hey, girl. I am 40, and cis-male. My experience might not be reflective, but I prefer to offer some support instead of just reading this and leaving it alone.

Please know that we all do feel down, we all feel trapped, and beaten, and defeated time to time. I had a very dark period in my 20s, only solved in my early 30s.

Please know that, even if that's not apparent, there are people that do care about you. Try to be around them more often.

Sometimes financial insecurity creates these kind of thoughts, and if that's the case I have no easy advice. But just know that, it is not failure if you decide to put a pause on your PhD, take care of yourself, then come back to it.

Sending love!

Technocracy is a form of government in which the decision-makers are selected based on their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge.

technocracy

I don't think it means what you think it means. The concept you are looking for, probably, is "techno feudalism".

I would read the hell out of this Wikipedia.

racists and fascists rely on “blood quantum” arguments

I have no idea what that is and I am too afraid to ask.

Republic of Congo or Democratic Republic of Congo?

I hear you. Not everything is because of the smart phones and social media. And I agree that awareness is increasing the diagnosis numbers.

I would be sceptical if I didn't know of this random author as well. But look into him, at least check his Wikipedia article. Maybe see his TED talk. Read a couple interviews. Don't accept my recommendation at face value.

There are a lot of people out there trying to make us feel lacking so they can sell something. But I don't think Haidt is one of those people.

I learned a thing or two from his material. Your mileage might vary, obviously.
