I haven’t looked at it in detail, but the Matrix comparison is likely just a relatable catch phrase to get the average Joe pick up the book.

In my opinion, there are too many constants and predefined variables for it to not be premade at least in some shape or form. For starters, the most obvious place to look is the periodic table. Elements would have to pre-date the beginning of the universe.

Then there’s gravity, light, and potentially the universal concept of natural selection. The most interesting of which is gravity, since it’s the glue which holds everything together.

Just my two cents, but I think it’s okay to suggest both. Everyone is capable of doing their own research and deciding for themselves what they like and don’t like. I’ve never heard of SearXNG, but it looks really cool. May spin one up for myself.

In my experience, no. Reddit does not suspend based on IPs.

It’s not luck. You probably went with Halsin over Minthara. :)

I fly FPV quads.

But I paid for WinRAR.
