I’ve watched the film. There are things that happen during the filming of it, involving the people making the project, that I would indeed classify as big spoilers and knowing them beforehand would lessen the experience.

I think this behavior can be changed in System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Automatically Rearrange Spaces based on most recent use (turn it off)

Wonder if it may have something to do with longer commute times, which is not discussed in the article, i.e. a trip that used to take n minutes a few years ago may now take double due to congestion, leading to more impatient drivers. At least in my city (Miami) all people talk about is how untenable the commute times have become.

> saying that independent thought leads to one being "moderate" in the way that most people think of that word, is straight up wrong
Agreed. Independent thought usually leads to one being moderate when that person is already living a comfortable life.

Meta provides direct API access for publishing content to Facebook pages [0] and, more recently, to Instagram accounts [1]. Any third party company can apply for access and use these apis as long as they comply with Meta's terms of service and data security requirements, which have become stricter in the last few years (for each individual api permission you must submit documentation and evidence of how your app will use the permissions, and must provide a way for Facebook to log in to your app and test the functionality).
LinkedIn provides similar access, as well as Twitter, and other social networks.
There are literally hundreds of companies that provide functionality similar to Buffer and Hootsuite, including scheduling for future publishing which is not forbidden at all. (Source: I run one of these services.)
The confusion may arise because until 2021 it wasn't possible to publish directly to Instagram. Before that only some big players like Hootsuite and Buffer had direct access to the publishing api, and some less than reputable companies used unsanctioned hacks to schedule Instagram content. But in 2021 Instagram opened their publishing api to other third party apps.

Yeah, this makes sense to me.
Imagine in the Dunning-Kruger chart the second plot (perceived ability) was a horizontal line at 70, which is not true but not far off from the real results. Now imagine I told you "did you know that, regardless of their actual score, everyone thought they got a 70?" That's a surprising fact.

Just a note: the colorful frog pictured on the website (https://coqui.ai/) is not a coqui. Coquis are usually brown and tiny.

I found it interesting that you framed "people not wanting to do things by themselves" as the opposite of grit. What if it's just an issue of loneliness? I can see how even the most resilient individuals may want someone to talk / relate to if they feel lonely, and this desire be completely independent from their drive and competitiveness.

Interestingly, there’s a whole underground industry of services that provide this functionality by having banks of automated Android phones (not sure if physical or virtualized) to post on behalf of the user through the mobile Instagram app. Problem is you have to give them your direct Instagram credentials, and you run the risk of Instagram detecting this and banning your account (has happened.)

Direct Instagram publishing through the Graph API is reserved only for certain Facebook premium marketing partners. Facebook did this through a beta program over a year ago then stopped handing access to other organizations. They may offer it in the future bit it's closed for the moment.
