We used to have even a modicum of technical smarts, but now we’ve sunk to being a cluster of techno-illiterates. Our boundless greed and staggering idiocy have turned what little brilliance we once had into a jumbled mess of unnecessary gadgets, pointless rights, and endless versions. We’ve become so pathetically dumb and self-destructive that our bloated heap of technological nonsense—whether proprietary or open-source—is the perfect monument to our collective failure, making any return to true progress utterly impossible without a complete governmental  revolution. -Khumaer Bayas via LLM Peace of my mind as Khumaer Bayas–  One Planet! One focus! NO abrogation patches to accommodate the proprietary technologies. One Focus again and versioning as a liability so that the initials are respected in terms of technology at a wider spectrum. You want to version , you pay through your nose! Why ? Increased focus.

The first film had him as stereotypical of a villain as they come, before he eventually met a grisly fate by the movie’s end. While it took a little over a decade for the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, to be released, it still managed to defy expectations and be…
