Y2K was real. You weren’t impacted because the IT industry expended massive effort to update every piece of critical software that was written prior to the problem’s recognition.

Superb idea.
We could take a moment and remember the Y2K scam … and the one where when your phone stopped working they told you it was because your hand got sweaty …. Ah Tech they are such trickers

Awful. It's been altered in so many ways beyond "colourisation". The kid has an entirely different face! AI is being used in so many ways to undermine history, information, even reality.

This is a very big deal and speaks to the importance of Blacksky and its associated PDSes.

Suspension of accts from Bluesky has called into question the mission and very existence of Blacksky. "If bsky can still suspend you, what's the point?"
