It isn’t. Yes there’s lots of bad stuff, but there’s also lots of good stuff too

Android absolutely is ready for the desktop - its cousin is called ChromeOS which is running on zillions of Chromebooks. And ChromeOS is a version of Linux

Not being able to maintain a task is one of the most standard symptoms of adhd

Nah I’m sure that’s not gonna change, it’s effortless marketing lock-in for apple

Did it happen during the test drive before buying?

Try doing "what if"s. Meaning just come up with a question about a scenario, like “what if the sun suddenly disappeared?” The scenario doesn’t have to be good or make any sense, it’s just a question - “What if?”
