At this point somebody should really create a /c/Aipocalypse community or something to collect stuff like this.

pandoc.org is probably what you are looking for, but you might have to create a custom reader/writer or find one on the internet.

Cryptography ⊋ Blockchain

A blockchain is cryptography, but not all cryptography is a blockchain.

Well I guess that depends very much on what you mean by being on life support. Like financially speaking? Oh yeah, they are more or less entirely dependent on Google. Regarding user numbers? Sure, Statcounter says 3.3% currently. Technologically speaking? Not really, quite the opposite actually. Besides Apples WebKit and Googles fork of it called Blink there is but one game in browser engine town, and its name is Gecko.

Now? Want?!

then kill them with a sharp pointy rock

In persistence hunting, at least the kind that humans practice, the prey mostly dies through indirect effects like exhaustion or heat stroke. You just keep tracking until you find a dead deer lying around basically, brought down simply by constantly having to flee your incessant pursuit again and again.

I heard the devs are planning a major nerf with the upcoming climate disaster patch by lowering the population and cooperation stats way down.

I sometimes forget that this picture exists, and then I happen upon it in places like here and it just smacks me in the face how perfectly it encapsulates the total and utter loss of decorum in politics. I mean it was never perfect obviously, but in past times there was a somewhat reasonable expectation of politicians being civil and them losing their office if they were publicly caught out not to be. It was rare, but it happened. Yet here you have the supposedly "most powerful man in the world" just dropping every pretence and hustling for some company in a flagrant abuse of his office. It's so brazenly corrupt. And the worst thing is this was just another Tuesday for Trump, mild shit-storm, on to the next fucked up thing he did. Society never even had time to realise what a historic moment this was. It was just dropped on the pile.

The highest GDPR fine was 1.2 billion.

This isn't the GDPR but the DMA. That said, fines there are even steeper, 10% of global revenue for the first offence, 20% for repeated offences.

Just here to leave the daily reminder that API reimplementation may constitute fair use under certain circumstances.

Do you mean not initially designed to support? Because at least for displays and networking (in the sense of being able to send X events over the network) that seems wrong, a network capable display server is basically X's entire purpose? And for keyboards and mice there are extensions now, so x.org as a standard now very much supports those by design. Actually to my knowledge Wayland basically just forked their keyboard standard, the X Keyboard Extension.
