2038 won't be a problem because by that time we will all be starting the early part of starting to die off from Climate Crisis.

So we won't really care about computers anymore.

Think about the time zone packages, too.

Funny you should mention that. I recently read an article about the maintainer for those, Paul Eggert. I forget how I ran into it. It could have been a link here on VVO for all I know.

Google is like the perfect of example of everything wrong with the mindset of "constantly evolving".

Like ten years ago or so, Google was perfect. It was super easy to find anything you wanted. But they have gradually removed features and modified features and tried to push all this "AI" and suggested and similar bull shit that it's become almost completely useless.
