      That’s nothing to do with viability.

        It has everything to do with viability. Something is not a viable alternative if no one can be convinced to use it.

          They can be convinced. They just haven’t been. That’s not the same thing. Not viable means not capable.

            No, not really.

            Viable: “the ability to live, grow, and develop” or “the ability to function adequately” or “the ability to succeed or be sustained”

              Take your pic of any of those, it’s still not that.

                “sustained” is relevant.

                I’m guessing if “literally” is your best adverb, then you may not be practiced in supporting normies trying to cope with seemingly capricious tech changes.

                  “sustained” is relevant.

                  User adoption does not make it sustainable. Many of them are nothing more than protocols. Code. It lives forever even if there are zero users.

                  I’m guessing if “literally” is your best adverb

                  I think you have me confused with another poster but thanks for the personal insult.

        Ok, I understand your frustration. I’ve already mentioned in another comment that I used the wrong word. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. In the future I will use the correct terminology as to not frustrate you or portray a message in the incorrect form. I hope that I have caused you no inconvenience and wish for your forgiveness. Please do not hold these actions against me, as I do not intend to make such embarrassing and hurtful mistakes in the future.

          Wow. Uhhhh that was an unnecessarily long and possibly sarcastic apology but I forgive you regardless.

            I want to sincerely thank you for your forgiveness—it means more to me than words can express. Your ability to extend grace and understanding has truly humbled me, and I’m incredibly grateful for the second chance you’ve given me. Asking for forgiveness was not easy, but I now realize just how vital it is for healing and growth. It’s a reminder of the strength it takes to acknowledge our mistakes and the kindness that forgiveness brings, not just to the one being forgiven, but to the one doing the forgiving as well. Your compassion has taught me a lot, and I will carry that lesson with me moving forward.
