That's 3 strikes: first "AI" chat, then ads and now they are messing with the private messages. I was still using #WhatsApp because of the people who are only there (or even worse messengers, like #Telegram or Line). WA was a lesser evil. But now WhatsApp no longer meets my minimal criteria for a messenger. WhatsApp has to go, even if it means losing contact with a few people.
From now on it's only #Signal, #DeltaChat, #XMPP / #Jabber and #Matrix ^^

Haha, it's one thing to claim that your device is "better, faster, stronger" in your own presentation, it's another thing to use the same methodology to see how it compares with others. Even if it's a half-assed methodology, which is common when the government tries to do something.
Another thing #Apple won't admit is that a "13-inch tablet with performance rivaling laptop computers" is more limited than a "7-inch, low-resolution tablet" because of the idiotic OS their iPads come with =)

Last week, I had to make changes to the Helm chart for almost every service that we run. This rarely happens; usually, changes are made centrally. But this was one of those unpleasant moments. And I noticed that our developers like to use the "fix" version for releases. I saw versions like 0.1.187. I'm sure there weren't 187 bug fixes. Even a useless ML tool could fix a bug in 187 attempts xD
Anyway, I just wanted to share this link: https://semver.org/. Use it when you're not sure what the next version of your release should be.
I'm not a big fan of automatically updating all dependencies when they don't introduce necessary features or address security vulnerabilities. But that's company policy. And when you receive information about a new release with a minor version increase, I don't expect it to take down the staging environment. For some reason, the k8s team do that a lot.
