It seems like this could've been a long flight, the dimming of lights was likely to help people to adjust to the time zone of the destination. A meal was likely served around what might be the destination morning time too.

    This is the key missing piece for me too. All of the things I use on my phone are accessible through the five icons on my dock. Whether it's a simple swipe to open another app or swipe to open a folder, none of the "alternatives" have similar functionality.

    I don't want to search for things, I want at most two taps to open the app I want.

    It would be somewhat freeing, I imagine. Though, if you were to go hardcore, quick access to knowledge would be the biggest drawback.

    Ditching the enshittified parts would probably be easier. Can do offline maps (or paper), purge social media, and use credible sites for any information you might need to look up.

    Definitely should be a national suit. Not sure how it will apply given differences in Québec's legal system, but I don't understand how it could not be considered misleading for a store to label the origin of a product differently than what is stated on the product.

    Which part? The southern prairie has 'grid' roads (magenta; literally roads in a grid, every mile E/W, every two N/S), with highways connecting the many towns and cities, settled because of agriculture. Then the northern shield (forest) has roads where they fit best to mainly indigenous communities.
