  • Twitter have big interaction because user count is extremely high. For a microblogging platform maybe it requires that it needs lots of users and some “creators” who are followed by thousands of people, unlike communities which anyone can post and everyone joined the community can see.

    I also think upvotes and downvotes plays a role too since mastodon does not have them(only boosts but boost actually shares with your own followers which might be very low)





  • In KDE, YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN slam the mouse and click on below the bar and it still work the way you need. Same goes to close window button on fullscreen. You can slam mouse into top right corner. I can’t live without theese simple features.

    Also you defenitrly need to try floating on kde. When there is some window going to touch the panel, it retracts and stick to the side without floating(same behaviour on window maximize). So you don’t waste any space by turning on floating. Also the smooth animation is cool.

    Edit: Here is what I mean





  • Speaking only in terms of energy:

    Molecules attract (adhesive and cohesive) causing capillary rise. Actually pottential energy due to that force is reduced converted to kinetic energy of motion which then gets converted into the gravitational potential energy mgh.

    Now capillary rise won’t happen endlessly. It stops at a certain point where it cannot pull more water.

    You could evaporate this water so that more water would flow up(also works in trees, but their mechanism of pulling water is more sphisticated). But now, on evaporating, you are applying more energy to it, which molecules held by adhesive and cohesive forces are puller apart, making it gain more potential energy to pull more water from bottom.

    The reason why it rises is to minimise the potential energy and it does not increase energy
