Well, most of western Europe stayed on CET after World War II. Initially the Nazis forced this upon The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and occupied France in May 1940, including DST. Double summer time! As The Netherlands was on Amsterdam time before the war, it went from +00:20 to 02:00 in one go. Spain followed as a gesture of political solidarity. DST remained year round until 1942.

After the war DST was abolished again, and then reintroduced in 1977 because of the energy crisis.

There has been talk about having permanent (double) summer time again, but the problem is that in winter, sunrise would be around 10 am.

Besides what MattJ100 wrote above, by itself this is also not true. You can tell Android to not optimize Conversations and allow it to run in the background. It will work just fine with a (usually idle) TCP connection. But for the typical user, having to instruct them to do this is cumbersome, and integrating with Firebase is easier. It does come with its own concerns w.r.t. privacy, both for the payload as well as metadata exchanged.

Because wages are non-Gaussian, standard deviation doesn't mean anything in this context.

Hence the suggestion for PagerDuty. It handles all this, because responders set their notification methods (phone, SMS, e-mail, and app) in their profiles, so that when in trouble nobody has to ask those questions and just add a person as a responder to the incident.

Why every time? Isn't this a user config that overrides whatever default there is?

Except that Luna in Slavic and Latin just share the same ancestor in PIE.

As far as I know, Facebook Messenger's XMPP support was only exposed to clients (c2s), not to other XMPP servers (s2s). Microsoft's Lync (now known as Skype for Business) supported XMPP federation until 2019. WhatsApp's client protocol was originally based on XMPP. I'm reasonably sure that both AIM and Yahoo had XMPP server-to-server support ready around 2008, but can offer no proof.

If services are indeed doing, or moving to, end-to-end encrypted media, there's nothing the server can do here.

Yup, and the old bridge will keep working locally, still has an open API, and there was an upgrade program when v2 was introduced, with a 33% discount. Four or so years ago.

Google Search used to have such a feature. I used it to blacklist w3schools. Of course, the feature is no longer there.

How so? That page says Marseille Soap is made from vegetable oils, whereas the recipe in the article uses animal fat.
