(Most of these are pretty normal words to use and you shouldn't make a conscious effort to avoid them because some guy on the internet thinks you're pretentious.)

Trying to self-improve in a method that, regardless of its objective effectiveness, makes you feel satisfied and has no discernable effect on those around you?
Not if I can help it!
What exactly is FFMPEG an alternative to? I keep hearing people mention it, but I've never stopped to look into it until now.
I tend to do some very basic video editing just to put an image with an audio file so I can upload my music to YouTube. This can do what I need it to do? To what degree can this replace a video editor with a full graphical interface?
Edit: Nevermind. I definitely misunderstood what the tool was at a fundamental level. Got it now.
Hot take: the web should not be more human.
And I'm pretty progressive on technological matters. There should still be a clear separation, though.
Supreme beef chalupas.
My saying, as it relates to Taco Bell, is: "It's shit, but it's good shit."
Yeah. I never considered that this wouldn't be normal, though. I kinda always had a "healthier than average" palate throughout my childhood as well as doing physical activities, and maybe the discernment comes from that as you're suggesting.
Is there anyone in particular you've spoken to that doesn't have this sense?
In a few words, I'm reiterating the point that a professional software developer =/= professional cyber security expert. Yes, I know that I should, for example, implement auth; but I'm not writing the auth process. I'm just gonna use a library.
No one's saying to ignore it.
If I own and run a sandwich shop, I don't need to be on the farm picking and processing the wheat to make the flour that goes into my bread. I could do that, but then I'd be a farmer, a miller, and a sandwich maker. All I need to know is that I have good quality flour or bread so that I can make damn good sandwiches.
It's a cool experiment, but:
Over time, the negative feedback from these misfires has trained me to type more slowly and thoughtfully, burdening my mind with uncertainty that impedes my natural typing rhythm and unconscious flow of thoughts onto the computer screen.
I get using the modifiers as a potential accessibility solution. But if you're otherwise able to type on the keyboard just fine, this is easily counterproductive.
In my opinion, any button in terms of graphical UI design simply dispatches an action with no arguments regarding state. There doesn't exist a dichotomy between a "toggle" mechanic and a "standard" button as far as the button itself is concerned.
Whether or not you want to update the visual representation of that button is a separate concern.

Yep. Words are meant to be used. There's usually a pretty clear difference between clear and concise communication and being a thesaurus superstar.
Also, words are fun. There are people that just genuinely like learning about words and their origins.
