Aside from "ai" it was just as possible 5 years ago. There have been algorithmic random music generators around for at least a decade, and click bots have been around since at least the 90s

This isn't a revocation of a perpetual license. This is about broadcom not offering their support services any more. ATT still has the perpetual license to use the software they bought

I looked it up and you're 100% right. Incendiary weapons are allowed as long as it doesn't hit civilians or start a forest fire

I'm pinning my hopes on crude oil prices being much lower after the 10-20 years it would take to sort out the territorial disputes and complete construction of rigs that could pump oil in large volume. Oil will still be very valuable in 10-20 years, but i would guess it'll be much less valuable then, and hopefully the price will be low enough to make it not worth the massive outlay cost

Ear plugs - not just noise cancelling headphones. It's much easier to sleep with ear plugs than with headphones. And headphones can get uncomfortable after many hours. And if you want extra quietness you can use both the earplugs and headphones at the same time

Absolutely, it's not even remotely a question - the ants would win. Totally and completely.

Mastodon isn't a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

I mean, if there's still gonna be command line commands for all the features then there's no reason why a 3rd party couldn't make a gui app for them and recreate the control panels app

It wasn't just a threat, there was a specific plan and prepared weapons
