    They can be convinced. They just haven’t been. That’s not the same thing. Not viable means not capable.

      No, not really.

      Viable: “the ability to live, grow, and develop” or “the ability to function adequately” or “the ability to succeed or be sustained”

          “sustained” is relevant.

          I’m guessing if “literally” is your best adverb, then you may not be practiced in supporting normies trying to cope with seemingly capricious tech changes.

            “sustained” is relevant.

            User adoption does not make it sustainable. Many of them are nothing more than protocols. Code. It lives forever even if there are zero users.

            I think you have me confused with another poster but thanks for the personal insult.
