Amy saying that the moonlanding was faked was pretty misplaced. It should have been said by Dr Banjo, after that someone could have stated that he lives on the planet of the apes.

No thanks. I can just use filesystem and network namespaces in a chroot to do that

They want to scan the content before you could send it. What I read, the proposed solution would work like a keylogger. The sent message is e2e encrypted, but you couldn’t trust the device you send it with.

I just started playing with MW, and was wondering why none of my hits do any damage. And then I found the action points falling rapidly in the corner.

What is the real problem?

A more fitting analogy would be if right now all the LEGO factories would stop producing, and you start building the largest LEGO building imaginable from scratch. You might be able to get all the pieces together at one point, but the Sun would explode first. (added for dramatic effect) The difficulity is getting the pieces from all the places in the world. Even from under the sea.

How does “companies finding better ways to use said resouces more efficiently” not address your problem? Diesel (with all it’s flaws) was a reaction to use oil more efficiently. Hibrid cars were a reaction to pollute less. Electric cars the same. I’m pretty sure atomic cars will be a thing in my lifetime. All these are attempts to use scarce resources more efficiently. Whichever solves the issue the best will be adopted by everyone.

This analogy doesn’t really stand. The reason we haven’t run out of oil and gas as predicted since the '70s because this panic drove energy prices up. The price rise allowed companies to figure our how to dig further, or find other ways to extract valuable resources. The price increase also forced other companies to figure out how these resources could be used more efficiently. We don’t have infinite resources, but we are really creative on how to find alternatives to solve a problem.

I ended up reinventing Rust

It feels great that if something is not present in the upstream repo, I can still usually find it in AUR.
