It's also a good filter for useful videos vs 'content'.

Is that a landmine strapped to his butt?

Well, then you have to find another name for that kind of software and define it that way. I certainly would support such an effort, i.e. to make software available to everyone at no cost.

There's no need to come up with new terms or change the existing ones. Free software is inherently free in price. And you can't enforce paying for software without the restrictions put in place (e.g. drm). Here's a quote from https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html :

With free software, users don't have to pay the distribution fee in order to use the software. They can copy the program from a friend who has a copy, or with the help of a friend who has network access. Or several users can join together, split the price of one CD-ROM, then each in turn can install the software. A high CD-ROM price is not a major obstacle when the software is free.

Free software can have a price, but paying it is optional.

I meant that free software is inherently can't have a price. Even if you provide source code only to your users, they are free to share that source code for free.

Thus there can't be piracy because piracy of free software is inherently allowed.

And if you try to prevent your users from sharing the source either legally or with drm - you add restrictions to software, making it less free for your users.

The recent situation with RedHat provides good demonstration and example of this.

Biology fact - fish can reproduce externally. Female lays the unfertilised eggs and male fish squeezes milt (spermes) on top.

Yes. It's also a Rube Goldberg machine, where photons travel millions of kilometers from sun to bump into some electrons, electrons then bump into some metal and fast metal pushes air in your room to make it move a little bit faster.

only a small number will sign up for a specific forum

Most people don't have to sign-up, 90% of cases should resolve on just searching the problem. Good chances it was already asked and answered.
Most of the time, forums with few users aren't dead, they're just really slow, whenever you post a question - expect at least 12-hour delay. I've never seen a message on Discord answered 12 hours later - you either get somewhat instant response or it's ghosted forever. Also good luck asking questions if there's heated/rapid discussion in the room, or you have a little time and other responsibilities other than checking discord every couple minutes.

I don't believe it's only chrome's problem. I've noticed that firefox tends to lock all available memory to himself and whenever I need it, bastard just reallocates it into swap, making whole system laggy and slow.

So.... I've got my foxy friend into a Ram jail for being too hungry:
systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=1G --user firefox

God, I love linux!
