What does hatred for others here mean? Is it how much drinking the beverage defies social norms or is it how much alcohol the beverage contains?

Invidious says it's geoblocked. Can you describe what the video is about?

Apple I think relies heavily on the BSD project (I think they might be even using the same kernel?) and Google on Linux. There's also probably a lot of open-source software they use behind the scenes or which aren't as big.

Closed licenses are arguably better for certain left projects

What about licenses that restrict the software from being used in a certain way? I think I've heard of at least one open-source license that disallows the software from being used in the military industry.

Does it? I do not have ADHD AFAIK, but to me it looks a lot less readable, because I at first read it like the sentence ended somewhere around "Big of Me" (because new sentences generally begin with a capital letter), and because it is unclear what they are trying to convey when they capitalize those words: Is it a title? A trademark? Something else?

I think momentum does indeed play a role. I remember when I do things to "get my life back on track" such as cleaning the house, going to the meetings I am supposed to go to, doing some activities I tell myself I should be doing, then the next few days I'm very productive, but then at some point fall back to where I started.

When I deleted my reddit account many years ago, my productivity skyrocketed. It has now dipped considerably

I remember having the same experience, but I don't know if it was just a side-effect of having stood up and decided to do something about procrastination. Nevertheless I think I may again edit my /etc/hosts file and set some sites to 0.0.0.0.

What were stars, the milky way and the moon to you?

Yes, the mass has been increasing: meteors bombarding the earth daily

It can't really be said there is a net-gain in mass (in fact most websites seem to estimate a net loss).

also plants make their food out of pretty much the definition of nothing, massless particles that makes its way up the food chain

I don't know what you mean by «massless particles», but plants do not make food out of "the definition of nothing". Photosynthesis is a chemical process and like any other chemical process due to the law of conservation of mass (disregarding mass-energy equivalence), the mass of the reagents is the same as the mass of the products. The sugars produced during photosynthesis weren't just produced with light as input. Light is the energy source that fuels the reaction in the light dependent of phase of photosynthesis, which has water as input, whose products (besides oxygen molecules which are a "useless" byproduct of the reaction) are used to produce the sugars in the non-light dependent phase which also takes carbon dioxide as input (there are obviously more substances involved in the reaction but they are "reused" between the two phases).

So, the mass of the "food" of the plant is in reality obtained from water and carbon dioxide, not out of "nothingness".

I think they meant it in the other direction: Every single person in the world is the world champion of something, not every activity has a world champion.

the ml in lemmy.ml is supposed to stand for marxist-leninist

That's not true. It was chosen because it was a cheap/free TLD.

(not disagreeing) And due to capitalism, they and the exploited will always exist, and have the power they have. If the billionaires of today didn't exist, some other people would be in their place, and nothing would have changed. Capitalism is the root.
