   I mean, consider there are a swathe of things I've made for self-development, that aren't released to others since they're incomplete, less usable for others not sharing the same brain, not great quality, etc. It would weigh

   Just to clarify, is the scope of social media being referred to here particular, typical apps (eg: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), or any app/service that has interactive social and media elements (eg: Discord, Reddit)?

   Reminds me of the malicious site for MultiPar, which the (since deprecated) official forums said linked to altered binaries, yet due to the convincing domain name fooled even various regular users linking to it on forums like Reddit.

    Ergonomically the position that Mac keyboards position the Command key (their Ctrl equivalent) I feel is better, which is to the immediate left of the spacebar. With the Caps Lock position one has to use the pinky to hold it down and the in
