It is NOT there for at least 40% of android users.

So for me that's a non-story.
While I agree that access to contacts should be read-only, and write access should be a special permission, for me it appears to be not a problem. While I have a few other apps installed, most didn't ask for contacts permission (i.e. all games), and from those that did ask, I denied in some cases where it didn't make much sense (why should twitter access my contacts? to find my friends on twitter? I don't need that.)
I actually like the way iOS handling the permissions. The privacy overview in the settings is very easy to understand and maintain. Permissions are only asked once when access to them is actually required in that moment (like when you tap on "take photo" in some app). Permission is not asked for while the app is launching (aside of push notifications and location).
So on iOS usually what happens is this:
- I install some app, lets say WhatsApp
- I launch it, it asks for push notifications and contacts permission
- i use the app
- if i dont share my location, i'll never get asked for the permission to GPS
- if i use "send photo" - it will ask for access to photos, but not to the camera
- sometimes, months or years after usage, it will ask me for a permission, i.e. microphone, because I have never used that feature before and only now want to use it
- etc.XYplorer (https://www.xyplorer.com)
It's not free, but worth every penny. I have looked for a free replacement for years and always ignored it, which was a mistake.
XYplorer is very well maintained, 0% CPU cost, 1% RAM cost, highly-configurable, has very nice features. Someone really put some thoughts into the UI and UX. I really like the Ghost filter. Ctrl+P is great. Oh and it remembers all opened tree views after restart, so your workspace is exactly the same after a reboot.
90% of android phones not having any recent updates - big deal. [0]

it appears to exist only for Android phones.
It's nothing but a joke that you'd have to switch to a "lite" version that is built explicitly for India [because of bad infrastructure] just to make it work in a country with much better infrastructure.
It's like buying a low-end car built for Indian market, because your regular car doesn't fit on the narrow roads in the US, the fuel consumption is too high, it leaks oil constantly and there is no service because nobody cares.
I don't think 11.2.5 exists
I am using Slack since more than 3 years too. I have tried their web-app, desktop client, iOS app, everything. The iOS app is pretty good and gets constant love. Both the web app and desktop client are pretty much equal in performance: laggish and slow. My laptop has only 8 GB RAM and a 3-4 years old CPU. The next Lenovo I'll be getting is available with max. 16 GB RAM.
I have switched to the web app in my Chrome since ~2 years, because after all, the desktop client does eat more RAM, since it will have 2-3 extra processes, whereas running as a Chrome tab, those processes already exist anyway (i.e. GPU process).
To have the Slack tab always open as a single dedicated window, without the toolbar and tab bar etc. I use this as a bookmark:
javascript:(function(){window.open('https://your-company.slack.com', 'Slack', 'scrollbars=no');;})();
Coming all the way from ICQ, IRC, Miranda etc. Telegram is the best chat client I have ever been using. The iOS app is great and about the same quality as the WhatsApp app (which is maybe slightly better), but since most of the time I'm infront of a real keyboard, I'd rather use the desktop client, which is just really snappy. The product design comes close to Apple products. All the drag&drop features, selecting of multiple messages/pictures, search, hotkeys ... Someone really did an effort and thought about all these small details. You can't imagine how easy it is to show all sent photos, easily browse through all of them with hotkeys and they show up instantly, or show all sent URLs, and so on. It is so good, that many times, I'd rather get up from the sofa and sit down at my desk to type a 2-3 sentence message to someone, than using my iPhone (WhatsApp or Telegram or iMessage). Oh and it has bots! I actually did one! Announcing delays and stuff for public transport in my town, using a server with php that is doing all the web crawling. I'd never even think about doing that in Slack.
there is a few similar posts here, but I always thought that the only known person who ever survived a fatal passenger aircraft crash, dropping out at high altitude, was this person:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliane_Koepcke
She was the only survivor of 92 passengers and crew in the 24 December 1971 crash of LANSA Flight 508 in the Peruvian rainforest. When the airliner broke up in mid-air, she survived after plummeting about 3 km (~10,000 feet) while still strapped to her seat, before crashing through the rain forest canopy and coming to rest on the forest floor.
Her injuries did allow her to walk for 10 days, until she was found. So you could say, it was mostly light injuries.
It is nowhere mentioned that she had a missing spleen btw.
