Are you referring to a different Connect app? The one on Google Play had an update a few months ago, does not seem abandoned.

I don’t actively use the app, just curious.
A nutritionist will be better able to explain this but I’ll give it a try :)
You’re maybe overthinking the sugar part of the equation. Berries/fruits contain natural sugar that is a part of the fruit itself. Your body processes that differently since that sugar comes integrated with other nutrients (fiber, Vitamin C, antioxidants, etc.). And you typically won’t want to eat say a few buckets of berries in one sitting to equal the same sugar high you get in a processed sugar, all that fiber will feel much heavier and your body is just going to tell you to slow down on its own.
The much worse types of sugars are added sugars e.g. sugars that were processed and now exist separately, then re-added into something else. Take your berry example, process all the sugar out of them so only the sugar exists, then you add those sugars to some other food you wanted to sweeten. Now it’s a sugar without any integrated benefits (no fiber/vitamin C/antioxidants/etc/) - your body won’t process this processed sugar the same way it used to when it existed as part of the fruit… you’re only getting the bad without anything useful. So you can gobble a whole ton more of those added sugars to get your sugar high without your body getting any indicators to hey, slow down, maybe it’s time to stop eating these added sugars.
Same as the other commenter, Pixel 7 + default Android OS. I appreciate the third party ROMs existing but haven’t really bothered going through all that in a few years. Way back I did used to install CyanogenMod but it always felt like a bit of a hassle with random bugs, phone restarts… at some point I bought one of the early Pixels and felt the stock Android worked well enough. My own motivation early on was to avoid the phone bloat/random apps that were pre-installed on non-Google Android phones.
That aside I may take another look at this stuff if it becomes impossible to sideload apps on stock Android OS with Google forcing app developers to verify themselves. And/or check out Linux-based phones.
Typing this out just realized LineageOS started out as a fork of CyanogenMod so I guess that code still exists in some capacity even today.
Never paid for streaming. Usually buy music and download the files to play on my computer or stream them from the computer to my phone or wherever. Mainly have been buying lossless .flac music files from Bandcamp.
Maybe? Does seem a bit much. I already walk about 40 mins to get to work and that’s at the higher end of what most people would walk.
But I would maybe do it if there were other things near that library that I need to go to. Have multiple destinations in mind for a longer walk like that.
EDIT: The library by me is about a 5 minute walk for what it’s worth. Same for groceries & other stuff.
If the business is or was promoting and marketing their business on xitter then it could make sense for them to try the same on a Mastodon instance account.
I’m not sure if it’s really “worth” it for a small business to maintain a presence on Mastodon but I guess it’s an option… remember that small businesses have limited payroll and headcount, it might not make sense to spend time marketing somewhere that has a smaller audience.
Not something I use but did notice that https://www.pandora.com/ still has a free ad-supported tier.
