There is a famous one here in Germany that everyone gets wrong.
The original line being sung: “Es tobt der Hass da vor meinem Fenster”, meaning “Hatred is raging in front of my window”.
What everyone hears: “Es tobt der Hamster vor meinem Fenster”, meaning “The hamster is raging in front of my window”.
Dream on…
Motorola has continuously been moving headphone jack down to ever lower spec devices.
Has been the reason I bought a used G84 half a year ago, as this has been the last Motorola with at least somewhat decent specs to support those. (On top of it, it runs LineageOS really well!).
But the GrapheneOS phone will be a high-end-device, so you can probably forget about it…
What kind of page are you talking about?
If you mean a simple no-fuss webpage for some topic, I used Neocities for that in the past:

I’m not convinced the fucking has declined. :-)
I guess it is more that by now it is decoupled from family planning, which combined with more rational considerations (tied to higher education levels) lead to reduced family sizes.
Housing prices in the last few years have exploded in Germany, but the reduced birthrate preceded that rather recent effect.
When looking at the statistics, main reason is less that parents decide completely against children, but more that they have less children. So the average nowadays is just 1.35 children per woman compared to 2.5 children in the 60s.
Main driving factor here seems to be more self determination of women and a more rational approach to family planning overall, tied to increased levels of education.
In many municipalities child care is even completely free of charge.
(Only for low-income families where I live.)
From society’s standpoint it is also a good idea to let pedagogues mentor young kids and give them social interaction with same age peers. Also best way for foreign kids to learn the German language and customs, reduces possible later social problems.

We currently pay something in the range of 250€ a month for after school care of our 2 kids, including lunch; full kindergarten care for both was around 500€ before in Germany.
Funny thing though: birthrates here are dropping even worse than in the US…
When listening to a Michael Patrick Kelly song outside of a running car for the first time, it turned out it wasn’t a nerdy song about “Beautiful maths”, but just another boring love song called “Beautiful madness”:-)
