And beaching, bro,
impressive, since the first thing we do is compare to ourselves as some sort of We're #1! thing.
I always found this story of a 100 year old harpoon being found in the back of a modern whale to be a pretty wild reality check:
The problem is that we're like a bunch of frogs dumped in a
pot with the heat turned on high.
"If you put a frog in boiling water, it won't jump out. It will die."

The story from 1869 only worked because he removed the frogs' brains.
now you know! and a bit of a sad commentary about where we are.
What, specifically, are these "large scale changes" you claim we're already seeing?
um, the arctic ice cap is almost gone. that's one pretty fucking obvious thing with huge global albedo budget implications.
Here's him doing it on the campaign trail in '88:
a bit off-topic, but it's worth noting that Senator Franken has a long history as leader on the forefront of new communications and broadcast technology.
some of his reports from his earlier journalism days are very informative, one might even say daring:

The GPL's failure mode is BSD, which still makes the world a better place, just less so.
There are worse things in life and this is not much of a criticism against the GPL. You could justifiably call it a strength.
But everybody could look at OpenSSL source for years and see the potential for Heartbleed and it never got caught until [...]
you were saying?
It is also worth mentioning that "Linus's Law" was not coined by RMS, and that RMS's defintion of "bad code" is probably much different, and more nuanced, than yours or mine. That's taking into account that he's likely several orders of magnitude the code-programmer than most here will ever hope to be.
This link pretty much wraps it up:
What would be interesting would be to bring the spirit of these old systems into the modern age rather than just replicate them wholesale. Boot into a system which allows you immediate programming (preferably with a modern OO syntax) and access to video, sound and peripherals. If there's anything that has suffered over the past three decades, it's easy access to I/O.
hmmm, if only there was something like that already under our noses.
Instead of searching for that app it is perhaps a better use of your time to study the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and the energy required at common cell phone frequencies to generate ionizing radiation. And then comparing it with the power your cell phone transmits at.

Or just buy a wired headset and leave your phone in your bag, then be happy in simply not worrying about it.

few of today's phones perhaps. but the development of phones is
not exactly at a standstill, when QR-oops gets released with some
future kernel what will the phone technology support then?
to quote Doc Brown, you have to think four dimensionally.
That it was not written in a vacuum and it is shown that the authors thought a lot about the existing common law and how what they wrote would relate to it, only gives more weight to the simple and precise words they put down on, er, hemp. They knew exactly what they were saying and said it as plainly as they could.
I guess it was inevitable that not leaving any room for lawyers to weasel out of it would eventually be used as a "look how strict it is! they can't have been serious! ignore what it says!" opposite-day fantasy.
oblig. look up the ironic history of yelling "fire" in a movie theater, an idea first used in a court case trying to illegally silence political protesters in the early years of WWI.
