@ADHDForReal The strangest thing is that I'm more productive when I don't intend to be if I plan for something to increase my productivity to make myself better some exercise I have the most incredible wall of procrastination built up for some reason BUT spontaneous inspiration is effortless

ASML's EUV scanners will be the last machines on Earth to lose helium. Party balloons will be the first to go. Helium is not manufactured. It is a byproduct of uranium and thorium decaying deep underground over billions of years. Vent it and it escapes to space. Permanently. A third of the global supply went offline when Qatar's Ras Laffan plant was hit on March 2. The rationing has already started. Here's what happens:
Day 1. Party balloons. Distributors cut retail supply immediately.
Day 7. Industrial welding and pressurization. National allocation kicks in. Switch to argon where possible.
Day 14. Routine fab leak detection switches to hydrogen. Ultra-sensitive qualification still needs helium.
Day 21. MRI machines. Older systems that vent helium cannot get refills. Elective scans delayed.
Day 45. Global buffer depletes. Fabs enter conservation mode. Non-critical depositions switch to nitrogen.
Day 60. Backside wafer cooling on older etch tools. Nitrogen conducts heat six times slower. Throughput drops.
Day 90. High-power etch. Advanced memory and logic nodes cannot run without helium-grade cooling. Wafer production drops.
Day 120. ASML's EUV lithography tools. $200 million scanners making the highest-value wafers on Earth. Leading-edge chip production stops.
Day 240. $700 billion in data centers are being built this year. Higher GPU prices, delayed cluster expansions, slower scaling.
Four months from birthday balloons to AI chip shortage.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

@cirnosad Ignore them all. Fork it. Join new team and make it right again.
There is no such a thing as "destroy" linux.

Countless discussions against systemd can now end:
It was a US regime infiltration operation that has destroyed Linux.
