I never claimed that 2^20 is the same as 10^6. In fact, I explicitly said that they are different. But if I use M on purpose, it is not a correction to just replace it with Mi, for that same reason.

There is no contradiction. But there is also nothing contradictory or wrong with the unit MB. If I say “this is 100MB”, maybe I just… mean that? No reason to correct me.
No. “Mi” is just a different prefix than “M” and it doesn’t matter what units you attach them to. Why would it? It’s just a multiplication with 2^20 or 10^6, respectively.
The more important thing: anyone can see their posts now. This is rather crucial for a government institution’s feed and not true on Twitter anymore.
The Wizard Book is a classic that basically “builds” programming as a concept.
(it is very technical though. So not sure it’s something you’re looking for)

Depends on what I’m making and which ecosystem it will be a part of. For libraries, I use the MIT license most of the time, although I’m probably going to switch to Apache 2.0 for future stuff. It’s a bit more robust and has a helpful licensing framework.
When I make applications (and if possible), I tend to use (A)GPLv3. GPL sometimes doesn’t work though (for example, for my primary language, Clojure). I like the MPL 2.0 as a weak copyleft alternative.
However, recently, I’ve been reconsidering the whole open source/free software ideology, especially the focus on granting unconditional freedoms. I think the view that engineers shouldn’t care what is done with their work is outdated and irresponsible, and it applies to software devs as well. So I’m keeping an eye on the development of alternative source models such as ethical source or licenses like the Anti-Capitalist License.
The new one is definitely too expensive for me. I have a phone that I’m not really happy with, but I’m keeping it for as long as possible. After that, I’m probably going to look for a used fairphone. I don’t see myself going with another completely unrepairable device.
