Here in the US, there are a plethora of web dev jobs available once you hit the mid / senior level. I'd say on a high-level that about 80% of them offer pretty good work-life balance. Every web dev job or gig I've had in the last 7 years has been extremely flexible.

Happy to answer any other particular questions you have.

US here. Companies I work for use Teams, Zoom, Outlook, WebEx, RingCentral, GChat for comms.

Personally among friends and family, we use Signal.

Nobody I know uses WhatsApp or even has it installed.

I hope it all burns down.

As far as I know, Subscriber count is specific to your instance and not aggregated.

It's one pixel per user per timeframe, not one pixel per timeframe - if that makes sense.

Outside of that, it's likely timestamped to the milliseconds on the server side, so it'd be pretty rare for two users to hit the exact same pixel at the same time and millisecond (or fractional millisecond). And even if, the server would still process one first, not both at the same time.

For some larger coordinations, there are bots that one can use to achieve swaths of changes very close together.

That's some bullshit right there. Thanks for capturing it.

The system is down.

I kind of assumed, mistakenly, that other countries that aren't the US were a bit more progressive than the US.

But it seems like the issues that we're plagued by exist everywhere?

Fuck. We gotta fight.

Is it possible it is just the wrong jobs?

I've worked some web dev jobs that made me hate life and want to quit. I've since churned through many jobs and finally found gigs that I actually enjoy, that pay well, that give me ample time off and legit work-life balance.

I also live relatively rural, read: paid a nearby ISP to run fiber to my home.

You can export them from Chrome and import them to Firefox.

Same. A lot of internal web apps I've used only work on chromium browsers.

That said, I'd recommend checking out DuckDuckGo browser before Brave.
