Have you seen Four Rooms? It has 4 hotel room scenes by 4 different directors, one being Tarantino. During one scene (NOT directed by Tarantino, but definitely influenced by the sick fuck), two CHILDREN show and play with their feet for like 10 minutes! ๐คฎ

I've had VLC struggle with high-res videos from my phone, particularly if I'm seeking and replaying a bit.
edit: It may have also been high frame rate.
I think it's less, "We're worried people will flock to Firefox," and more, "We could get in a lot of legal trouble for trying to force everyone onto Chrome".
The Autistic Soul of the Internet Has Been at Deathโs Door for Years. Its End May Finally Be Here.
I despise Discord. It's an information black hole. Everything is closed off, unindexible, unscrapable, borderline unsearchable. If someone posts something useful on Discord, good luck finding it after a few months, let alone a few years. Meanwhile, I can find forum posts with useful info from over a decade ago. If Discord the company dies, everything on the platform dies with it. There's no internet archive for Discord.
It has a place as a chat app, but its use goes far beyond that. Some subreddits used it as a Reddit replacement, companies use it for tech support, and entire apps are built around it (eg. MidJourney).
The "Indica = sleepy/couch-locked; Sativa = energy/head high" belief isn't true. The effects are caused by a complex mix of chemicals that isn't fully understood yet, and few producers talk about. Sativa and Indica have very little, if anything, to do with it. It also doesn't help that the vast majority of strains are hybrids, making the terms even more useless. The terms are just slapped on any strain that is perceived as uplifting or relaxing (edit: or have a genetic mix being majority one or the other).
The cannabis industry, legal or otherwise, has always been full of lies and pseudoscience. If it's not the big business capitalists, it was the small time dealer capitalists.
When asking for suggestions, budtenders still ask me if I want Indica or Sativa. I always answer, "it doesn't matter." They should know it doesn't matter and not be pushing decades-old debunked info.
That's .com. I've never even heard of lemmygrad.com until now. I have heard of .ml though.
Somewhat related, but not really: I hear that Gen Z (in general) are worse at tech support issues than the past couple generations. The theory is that Gen Z grew up with tech that, for the most part, "just works". Troubleshooting issues isn't as common, and isn't as necessary of a skill.
This is anecdotal, but I read a story by someone who learned to lucid dream and regretted it. They said they never felt like they slept anymore, because they're lucid all day and night.
