As a chemist when I read such a title I already know it’s one of those organic chemistry rule of thumb rules. All of them are named and most of them old and from text books. Such rules are useful rules for drawing stick figures of molecules. They are not the same as actual rules of physics for example.

But it’s always cool when someone finds out how to make molecular structures we thought wouldn’t work.

They also do not descriminate against evidence based on reliability.

A TV? I don’t have that.

Mobile add-ons. Nice!

Polar bears love it.

Only if the website is part of the product. Like if to use the product I have to login on the website or am forced to regularly use it or whatever. Then if it is advertised as 100% open source I’d probably be like ‘is it though?’.

True but it helps get the concept across so much.

I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.

What makes YouTube social media for me is the following

• everyone can post content, in the forms of video everyone else can comment, rate and follow
• algorithm based browsing of video content and comment sorting
• images, text posts and polls can be posted to followers
• shorts is basically TikTok, so if that is social media so are shorts

YouTube isn’t social media? I always counted it as such.

Excuse me, you can’t simply have a nuanced and fact based opinion on the internet.

KDE is one of the few I always have in my list. No matter the OS I use, I always end up using KDE and highly prefer it over anything else I’ve tried. So it’s my way to contribute to not hate the time spent at my computer in the near future.

There is a downfall of big tech? Aside from Musk putting Twitter into the dumpster I haven’t noticed anything like that.

If you create a new account probably. My account is many years old but with little activity. Maybe it doesn’t get bit scanned anymore.

It’s family so I guess I’m shit out of luck here. Everyone else I managed to get to communicate through signal or at least email. But those 3 are a bit special.

They can certainly try. But so far breaking those boundaries hasn’t moved the boundaries as far as I know.

I don’t even get the question. Yeah I use Facebook with a fake name and no data on the account accept a spam mail address to write occasional messages with 3 people. If I couldn’t use ad block on facebook it’d be too annoying to use for me even for that.

I don’t think any other site can do what YouTube is doing, because YouTube is almost impossible to replace and find an alternative to. If Facebook pulls this I’m out for good. The only reason I’m on there still is the 3 people who refuse to use anything else that I still care about.

Oh for sure. And then there sometimes are lawsuits and settlements and things have to be paid back. But overall it’s rarely a problem for the companies and a major hassle for everyone else involved.
