Horse and Sparrow Theory.
Raphael Ravenscroft for anyone wondering. His daughter Scarlett Raven is a successful visual artist combining traditional impressionist paintings with augmented reality.
I imagine either the "Oh God-mass God!" Version of the song either is the first version she learned whilst very young or she was taught this "fact" by someone who she trusts unquestioningly. It's very hard to convince people to reasses beliefs they've taken on in that way. Maybe you could give up that dream and work on gently leading her to a compromise of doing a verse of each?
This sort of confusion is why I think we need to always define economic and social political positions separately rather than lump them together.
On the day it happend I watched the videos being shared by the people participating amongst each other. There were tremendously more than 200 people.
This kinda just feels like "what single question would you ask ChatGPT if it was omniscient" so my mind is just getting lost in the arcane and complex structuring and restructuring of the question to get the answer you want rather than one that literally answers the exact question you asked.
Assuming though that you actually do just get the answer to the intent and spirit of your question the only rational one I can think of would have to be some variation of:
"What answer could you give me that would offer me the most peace, contentment and sense of resolution to my life?"
Otherwise I'd spend an eternity (or however long I'd have to consider my question) pondering how to ask that question without getting an accurate and correct response like:
"A really good one."
Because they are judging the water use by final weight and you make cheese by removing the water from milk.
Also like... Cheese is where you take all the valuable stuff out of milk and through away the water that constitutes most of it's mass. Of course it's a poor water to weight ratio because most of the weight of milk is water. But in terms of water usage to available dietary nutrition I can't see it being very different to milk.
While it's not perfect I think emissions per calorie is a better measurement than emissions per kg (even more importantly for making comparisons of water usage.)
All you're arguing is that the web is decentralised, not that any given website within it is.
Perhaps part of the reason they seem... different... to younger generations is related to the fact that there would have been a higher percentage of unwanted pregnancies for their cohort than the ones that followed.
AFAIK it's a system to let Linux software bundle all of it's dependencies up with it so it just works in a self contained way that doesn't care about what else is and isn't installed.
Advantages is that they are more reliable and user friendly than traditional approaches to Linux software installation.
Disadvantages are that they have bigger footprints where you might have the same dependencies I dependently installed for each app rather than as a single installation that they all utilise and that they need to be updated individually (as part of the flatpak.) IE if basically every app uses the same dependency and it turns out to have a huge security hole, under normal Linux software the developer would patch it, you'd update it and the hole would be filled. With Flatpaks you need each individual Flatpak developer to update the version used by their Flatpak and for you to update all those Flatpaks before the hole is plugged. I think I remember they run in some kind of sandbox to mitigate this though.
All you can hope is that some day they are forced to support 3rd party apps because of some anti monopoly lawsuit telling them they have too.
I'm not sure if you are aware already but the reason Epic are announcing a million changes to their business is that the previous business plan was based around them successfully throwing a fortune at suing Apple to force them to support 3rd party apps and they tried and failed.
I think if it were ever going to happen that way, Epic would have succeeded.
That's not to say it won't still happen one day through political means. Seems plausible the EU might force it at some stage.
if this company goes out of business the source code dies with it.
Despite the fact that probably none of us had heard of them until today, it appears that FUTO has tremendously deep pockets so are very unlikely to go out of business any time soon (which Rossman mentioned in the comments of his video with a link to this one (that I haven't yet watched) of his interview with the owner a year ago https://www.youtube.com/live/OJPmbcU-Vzo?si=DovtYTWTC3S1QIY-)
Futo (the organisation developing this app) appears to be a tech billionaire (Eron Wolf) firing his money at the tech industry until it stops being so shit.
This is from the about page on their website:
Our Three Pledges
We will never sell out. All FUTO companies and FUTO-funded projects are expected to remain fiercely independent. They will never exacerbate the monopoly problem by selling out to a monopolist.
We will never abuse our customers. All FUTO companies and FUTO-funded projects are expected to maintain an honest relationship with their customers. Revenue, if it exists, comes from customers paying directly for software and services. “The users are our product” revenue models are strictly prohibited.
We will always be transparently devoted to making delightful software. All FUTO-funded projects are expected to be open-source or develop a plan to eventually become so. No effort will ever be taken to hide from the people what their computers are doing, to limit how they use them, or to modify their behavior through their software.

What they say and what they will do could of course differ but they do go to great pains to paint themselves as fundamentally opposed to be sort of action you are worried about.
It isn't free however they are very clear that they make no effort to make you pay for it. IE the app works whether you pay or not and they aren't planning to change that. It's not free in the same way WinRAR isn't free. Here's the announcement video from Louis Rossman where he talks about that. https://youtu.be/5DePDzfyWkw?si=KuNumtHUrtW_kHSC
Russian government-sponsored media isn't free press is it?
I think you're the guy I saw over there rambling on about an unfair moderation action then someone pulled the moderation log and it was for saying something like "you can turn any Jew into a Nazi by giving them some land."
It looks like Kotick will be leaving after the transition so that's a great start. My dream is that this all somehow leads to the full Overwatch PvE campaign coming back onto the table again (given that their attempts to provide long-term replay ability without doing the work seem to be floundering now, there's a chance right?)
If everyone had this particular issue the world would be very different I think.
