Your friend sounds like an snobbish ass. Just because something is offline doesn't mean it's not mediocre. There are many, many valid criticisms of social media. But when your friend mentions something they enjoy you don't seem very nice when you tell them that what they enjoy sucks. Don't yuck someone else's yum.

I am so torn on this. On one hand, social media in the hands of the large corps is super toxic and bad for almost everyone. On the other hand it allows kids to connect with others like them, particularly marginalized groups. And what I feel is the real reason behind this ban is to simply end anonymity on social media, which is obviously bad. So I guess I agree with the idea in principle, although it falls too short because they should restrict social media for everyone and the path they take is shit.

I started with Linux on a 2.0 kernel, in 1995 or 96. I only had one computer and there were no smartphones. There was no option besides rawdogging Linux. You pampered youngsters don't know how good you have it!

This is exactly what I expect, so I never got tripped up by this. But yes, it's worth pointing out that this will expand the executable flag on files that are already executable and set it on folders too. But not set it on files that aren't executable at all.
