The fact that it's a joke about genAi and that joke is a rehash of existing material is rather on point though.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'

Ever read Transmetropolitan? It has a whole sub-arc on just the absolute lack of concern that a future society would have for this resurrection obligation/burden imposed on them.

What is your favorite version of FTL in science fiction?
I wouldn't say it was my favourite FTL but it has some interesting implications.
The artificial wormholes of The Algebraist by Ian Banks. I can't say too much if you haven't already read it, but it's artificial wormholes that have to be transported sublight.
All the new wormholes are of course lovely and high capacity, but much of the network is still the original tiny little ones first installed. So your military at least uses kilometer long needle ships that can fit through these small points.
Think fitting an aircraft carrier through a Stargate.

Finland: Linux reaches desktop market share of 19.1% in July - up from 5.4% in January
I was going to suggest tech literacy levels as Finland is basically joint top in Europe joint with Netherlands. But while the Netherlands has above average Linux usage it's not close to Finland.

Running a business using linux
When you say it doesn't work in Firefox, does it not work in Firefox or does it say it doesn't work in Firefox? In the later case and sometimes in both, I have found that just changing the user agent string to something chrome based is sufficient to get it working again.

If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?
TV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP.
Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.

Actually caught. That's why it's tip of the iceberg, all the cases that were not caught.

Majority of voters want Brexit to be reversed, says Britain’s leading pollster
My biggest issue with the vote was that Brexit didn't win.
48% votes to remain and 52% percent votes for 6 different and often mutually exclusive relationships. Which was proven as soon as negotiations began and why there should have been a vote on the final deal which would have certainly failed. But instead people voting for a Norway model or a Swiss model all got counted alongside the lunatics that would have physically dragged the UK further into the Atlantic to get away from Europe given the chance.
It wasn't 48% Vs 52%, it was 48% vs 8% and 8% and 8% .......

How to check pc for spyware and can you say there is no spyware or is it probability
It depends on the level of mistrust you're willing to entertain but the short version is; no, you cannot be sure.
Ken Thompson's 1983 talk, Reflections on trusting trust is the classic talk on just why you cannot be sure.
