I’m unconvinced that pulling back from space programs will make Earth’s ecosystem thrive.
My point was more or less the opposite: Anyone interested in space exploration should also be interested in keeping Earth well livable, because that is needed for its success.
If we can’t manage to keep Earth’s ecosystem thriving to support us, we certainly won’t be able to create a new self-sustaining ecosystem elsewhere. And without that, there’s no chance of any non-Earth settlement being able to sustain a healthy human society and culture long-term.
Without some serious (currently impossible) terraforming, Mars colonies are limited to deep caves or heavily shielded buildings, no outside to relax, nowhere else to go. Have a look at the list of crimes in Antarctica, a similar situation where people are stuck together, that’s not a good environment for mental health, and it will be worse farther away. A Mars colony (edit: or space station) owned by a private company will be a corporate prison, the inhabitants are 100% dependent on that company - who would voluntarily put their lives into the hands of the whims of some narcissistic hoarder with no empathy or regard for workers?
Modern cheats for multiplayer games don’t modify local files (or attribute values in memory), since the server validates everything anyway. They’re about giving you information that’s available but not shown in the game (like see-through walls, or exact skill ranges), or manipulate input (dodge enemy damage, easy combos). Those cheat can run in kernel mode (or at least evade detection from user mode), so the anti-cheat needs kernel mode to be more effective.
Audiobooks have a simple workaround if you can find a version of the book in text format to download, just index that.
Calibre can create a full text index to search through everything (well, for files that actually contain the text, and it needs a lot of space).
“Free speech” just means “I want to spout garbage without pushback (like fact checking) or consequences.”
https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist is supposed to remove AI slop from the results of various search engines. Wants the uBlacklist browser addon though.
How does that help disempower the fossil fuel mafia?
Since they don’t seem to care about it, start using “tweet” for every social media post to devalue them further.
We haven’t solved the “disposal” question of using fossil fuels, and those turned out (or were known along) to cause much bigger problems.

In other words, lack of accountability leads to bad behaviour. He might be onto something there…
You could try laughing at them instead, but maybe then they start the punching.
And if a self-proclaimed “alpha male” elicits a reaction of fear or anger that confirms their self-image. But being called weird, or laughed at like the clowns they are, undermines their whole act.
They’re such a bunch of weird cockwombles.
Tax them out of existence.
What an insight, he must be a tactical genius.
Move your lightly cupped, relaxed hand behind the fly. Then suddenly accelerate and grab the fly that got startled into flying into your hand by the movement.
What a silly weirdo.
Proud enough to show their faces?
