I bought a phone in "fair" condition from @backmarket UK. The description of this condition is "May have light scratches that are slightly visible but won’t get in the way when the device is on." The phone has a scratch in the on-screen keyboard area that is deep enough to...

catch my nail as I swipe across it. If the screen ever cracks, I assume it will start here.
Dilemma: Does this mean the phone is inferior to the condition it was sold as?
Broken system: There is no way to ask @backmarket UK this question. Their contact form...

...just sends me back to my @backmarket UK order.
I could claim that the phone does not match its description and send it back, but if I'm wrong and this scratch is considered "light" and "won't get in the way" then I assume I will end up out of pocket.
Suggestions?

"Yes, it's late," I said.
"I'll just watch a *few* minutes of #ThePrince by @PhilosophyTube on @WatchNebula to get a feel for it," I said.

I know this isn't necessarily your area of focus but I had a really simple app idea that might save a few people's lives and I wondered whether someone with a larger following (that's you) might boost the signal to get it made. (If it exists already, I didn't find it)
Other uses: I assume there are other reasons to want to incrementally change alarm times over a period of days.

@SanspantsRadio Hiya! Last month, I found out about D&D is for Nerds. Got the podcast on my player but none of the episodes I've looked at have any written detail about the episode, just cut-and-paste generic show notes. Is there an index anywhere?

@mold_time I used the @Join_ZOE covid19 app for the first couple of years of the pandemic. They were getting daily reports from tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Brits as well as many PCR samples that allowed them to build a statistical model of covid19 prevalence in the UK.
