I’m kidding here, but the similarities are odd. The weather is always between 70F and 85F all year round. The biggest threat to you on the island are apples.

If everyone moved to open source non-profit solutions, the tech industry would lose billions
I’m a FOSS (free and open source software) contributor and enthusiast.

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat
I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look.
