I argue that the real credit goes to Winamp. Napster was effectively just a slightly easier front end than an irc fserve, it was really the mp3 playback with playlists and maybe even milkdrop visualization that led to a critical mass for mp3 adoption and sharing. That later led to Napster and, ultimately, bit torrent.

But also, yeah, fuck Metallica.

I guess id be ok with an installable debian package for an end user controlled llama package with gui avatar interface overlay. Local learning data set storage plus ability to use API calls to injest info from other cloud based llm ai systems when the local dataset doesnt have a reliable answer.

Bitcoin is exceptionally traceable, this seems more about preventing banks and financial firms from hiding solvency issues from SEC and the public's analysis by off sheeting crypto holdings.

Wolfenstein 3-D definitely gets the credit, but Doom took it SO much further and was the first game that really brought out our gaming-kid excitement through fear and suspense even despite, in retrospect, it really just being a puzzle game with exploding demons (and when you get into the history and documentaries, it's wild what they actually wanted to do in the engine, but the consumer level performance limits at the time cut into a much more in depth experience).

Anybody that played the Aliens Total Conversion on the original Doom engine (best Aliens themed shooter oriented FPS) knows just how awesome things can turn out.

Yall Queda and the Gravy Seals just aren't that strategically competent with their slice of plain white bread class of domestic terrorism, not without some foreign intelligence command and control running them.

Wonder how much of that goes towards his monthly payments for lawsuits he's lost.

They have protective custody for certain inmates that require protection, for example, Epstein.
