There isn't any alternative for either content creators or consumers so of course people can't just stop using it. But that doesn't mean everyone should just accept anything from them. These kinds of things definitely hurt both the YouTube and Google brands and there definitely are Google products that you can stop using and avoiding to give money to YouTube.

If there's one service where you can check stolen CC info for $1 and another one for $5 you doesn't go with the $5 one for no reason. The $4 extra dollars doesn't matter in itself but that other places are several times cheaper does.

None of those work without both people having the app and so provide a much worse experience over SMS, just why?

In Sweden I can't remember the last time I saw a plan that didn't include unlimited sms and calls. Only thing marketed is data. However if you really search for them I guess it's still possible to buy something else somewhere.

What else is there to use? SMS is the only cross platform protocol that works. MMS is horrible and Apple refuses ro support RCS. Of course SMS apps auto upgrades to RCS if both parties supports it which is in practice only between Androids.

Ctrl + ; should bring up an emoji picker in Linux when you have focused a text field

Sounds like you have a borked dbus or is using the GTK_USE_PORTAL env variable, 20 second timeouts are gtks standard way of dealing with something it doesn't like. Firefox should take < 1 second to start fresh and takes < 3s for me, restoring hundreds of tabs

Just don't? If I need to use Facebook to interact with something I just rather spend my time on almost anything else.

Zigbee is for this usecase instant and definitely faster than any ESP wifi based solution. Your slowness here isn't for reaching HA, it's HA itself and primarily pushover and Alexa. What is it you are trying to do? For anything that should feel instant, getting rid of pushover and Alexa will be crucial.
