But damn what a great way to go!

Seriously though, it's less the fats and more the sugar and simple carbs (flour). Combine them all and it's really Not a Good Thing©.

But I'm still makin' it. With all the butter and lard.

Oh damn. Heading to Amazon...

Cornbread in all it's glorious variations...

Yep, all they gotta do is well, very little.

Gotta wonder why they're saying this now? What's the agenda?

Weight is determined by gravity, which is determined by the mass of the objects.

Regardless of gravity, objects still retain their mass, so you wouldn't be able to move anything that massive.

Moving an object requires force, the amount of force required is related to the object's mass and current velocity (momentum). Even sitting still you'd have to accelerate the mass from zero.

I forget the acceleration formulas, physics was a few decades ago. F=M*A?

I'm sure it would be the same as it currently does.

I still don't get it

The ribbon is one thing, the flat design and obfuscating tools/settings are a far bigger issue.

Flat design may be less distracting to you but that also means it's less clear, because there are fewer obvious demarcation.

I despise flat design, it's downright awful design, and done for looks rather than functionality.

Even saying it's "less distractive" supports this.

Microsoft also did this to obfuscate features, which is pretty apparent when you consider new users used to "discover" features via the menu system. I supported Office for MS in the early days, and this was a huge thing at the time. It was discussed heavily when training on new versions.

It's hell on ram for Android, unfortunately.

Still, looks very promising

Except social media is a bane for kids, even moreso than for adults.

It's a shit show.

Samsung from a phone vendor like Verizon is bloated, but not one from Samsung (well, except the Samsung crap like Bixby).

From their About page:

Project Liberty is stitching together an ecosystem of technologists, academics, policymakers and citizens committed to building a people-powered internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.

I just heard Frank McCourt on a podcast plugging his book "Our Biggest Fight".

It was great to hear someone with a voice talking about the problems we see with user data and social media, especially the problem of the Social Graph (the map of all your social connections, which includes weights and values).

Their solution to this problem was to develop a social networking protocol that enables any compliant app to use (think how email works - a standard protocol, SMTP), but encrypted and user data controlled by the user. They call it DSNP - Decentralized Social Networking Protocol.

I see both sides of their approach, I'm kind of ambivalent, lots of concern here long-term.

They've already acquired MeWe and have converted some users to this protocol. He wants to buy the US side of TikTok (if it becomes available) and convert it to DSNP, which would encrypt about 30 million US accounts.

I'm always cynical about stuff that sounds promising, but I don't have the tech background to really dissect what they're doing. Anyone understand this better?

I have no idea where to even start to combat such things. Healthcare professionals must appease the masses of their peers.

I've seen this first hand in the corporate world, where it's called a 360 review. It's a popularity contest.

While there's value in the idea of such reviews, they're ripe for abuse. It codifies an environment of dishonesty - where people who are good at masking (err, sociopaths anyone) excel.
