But when someone says they want no chemicals in their food, you know exactly what they mean. This is just being a bit pedantic, I think.

Exactly. Every time I see someone post that "akshully, chronological order is also an algorithm" (which I see a lot), it makes me think of the old "what you are calling Linux is akshully GNU/Linux" thing. Please people, let that go.

Because you know perfectly well that when we talk about "algorithms" we're specifically referring to corporate social media manipulative algorithms designed to increase engagement, NOT a simple sort of posts by date or number of upvotes. mkay?
