Except that the Nordic model has been replicated across all the Nordic countries, of which only Norway has vast natural resources.
And even then, Norway, under the policies of the Nordic model, was already quite rich before it discovered oil.
If you see this when your eyes are open then it may be visual snow.

Because all in one distros have mistakes or bugs, for which fixes are only available in the next release 6-12 months later.
Other times, I know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, but due to the vendors shenanigans (Ubuntu) it’s ironically much harder to fix. Adding extra repos via ppas and managing them is harder than just pulling it from AUR.
Having problems due to a vendor’s mistake and being unable to fix them was exactly why I wanted to move away from Windows and macOS. All in one distros kind of fail at addressing that. Arch is basically “fuck it, I’ll compile it myself”
Actually, the term 3rd world is outdated and referred to countries that couldn’t decide whether to align themselves with the US or Russia - oh wait
Immich users flag Google sites as dangerous
Thee following are more little/no dialogue for the purposes of Immersion, rather than subtitled
Tunica is an unapologetically difficult isometric action/puzzle game
Animal Well is a metroidvania with little/no dialogue
Other similar games are Fez, Hyper Light Drifter
Not sure of your specific needs, but I feel that self hosting (i.e. setting up a proper server) is unnecessary. Just pick a local first program and use it with syncthing.
The usual trio (which may be overkill) are Obsidian (admittedly not open source), Trillium, and logseq.
No need for any new extensions. Just add a new uBlock filter for AI slop.
If your online content is audio or video then you can replace the default subtitle track with nonsense. This is because AI scrapers generally only check the default subtitle track to understand audio or video.
The process would be more difficult with text or image content, but you can still apply the same principles.

I don’t think the any interaction definition is too broad at all. Primitive forms of social media such as mailing lists and forum threads form are very similar in functionality to simply following hashtags, or I guess whatever the algorithms suggest.
The distinction using account based versus conversation/thread based is not too helpful, because the majority of users of modern social media don’t really use it to follow accounts, with the majority of their time is spent doomscrolling generic hashtags or algorithm recommendations.
The similarities are easier to see if you think of how people actually used these technologies in their daily lives. Pre Facebook, people would log in and refresh their Usenet, emails, and forums threads to keep in touch with friends and interests. Post Facebook, people would log in and refresh Facebook/Insta instead.
This is basically the central thesis of world famous economist Thomas Piketty.
Inequality inevitably worsens if the rate on capital exceeds the rate on labour. That is, when society rewards simply owning capital and wealth more than working.
Or just spin up some minimum wage nobodies/chatbots to spread misinformation online so their own citizens do the terrorism for you
Big tech still tracks you, even if you don’t own a smartphone, via your friends’ smartphones.
Data such as WiFi, cell, and Bluetooth it is already possible to accurately track people who are privacy conscious by building a “ghost” profile of you.
This is how Facebook or LinkedIn automatically suggest people you’ve met when you sign up, even if you’ve never used their services or have owned a smartphone before.
Privacy consciousness is only as good as the weakest link in an entire social network.
They don’t need phone microphones to get this info, the data they have and profile they build are already as good as microphone data. Even if you are privacy conscious, surveillance tech still builds a profile of you based on data on your friends, family etc.
It’s likely Google already got your brother’s crunchyroll viewing history. The fact that you were both supposedly high would’ve have made it very obvious as an erratic/unusual event. Google then kept this info and used it to ultimately suggest this to your friends, using a “ghost” profile of you. Satellites aren’t exactly something people look up very often.
Don’t let world leaders see this. They’ll sink billions of dollars into this in an effort to prevent boat people from seeking asylum
My pet peeve is people thinking they are being clever by complaining about the supposed incorrect usage of literally as figuratively.
People, including famous authors, have been literally (not hyperbole) using the word as an intensifier, and therefore, figuratively, since 1847, e.g. F Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Dickens, and William Thackeray.

Physical Vs chemical changes.
It was typically taught that physical changes are differentiated from chemical changes because they could be “undone” or that they had “no chemical reaction.” Which was very confusing, because you can’t uncut paper, and dissolving stuff in water clearly results in different chemicals being produced, yet both were examples of physical changes (actually the latter is sometimes taught as a chemical change). Furthermore, most chemical changes are actually reversible.
It has since been recognised that this classification is BS, and most changes actually exist on a continuum.
Side note, the restaurant analogy is exactly why I hate the seemingly American style of service where the waiter asks how the food is halfway through.
I guess that’s a good analogy for how creepy surveillance capitalism is, it’s like a waiter judging and recording your every move and reaction throughout the entire meal.
