It's a bit flexible nowadays because a lot of cars will let you leave the a/c on while you walk away with the keys.

Funny fact: google's newest feature is also its best, but it's kinda hidden and might not be available everywhere - it's "web search", which cuts out all the awful bullshit

Can I get some enterprising North Koreans to steal my identity so that I can put their work experience on my CV?

I'm sure all of those programs are great, but in the modern world I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't ever just use VLC.

We're leftists and our site culture is pretty aggressive. Liberals are predisposed not to like us because of the first one, and we're especially prone to arguing with them in the comments of their instances because of the second. This means we're more well known and more disliked than we would be if we stayed in our corner.

This is true of current gen air combat, but I'm speculating about a future where dogfighting once again becomes the only way to achieve air superiority.

Oh I never said it would be humans piloting the sixth gen dogfighters. They're gonna be drones designed to withstand sustained 20G turns to be able to get their guns on target, commanded from something like an AWACS.

Stealth becomes obsolete

Missile defenses get better

BVR combat becomes basically impossible

Everybody always knows where everybody else is

Sixth generation fighters Retvrn to being purpose-built dogfighters/interceptors

This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China's tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.

edited out of the episode and then the user could also download said episode where ads are cut out of the final audio file

This is your problem, because you're redistributing someone else's work with the ads cut out, which isn't sufficiently transformative to qualify for fair use. Sponsorblock is allowed because it doesn't actually interfere with the video stream, it just tells your computer when to skip ahead using YouTube's already-existing playback features - your app should work the same way, integrating into an existing podcast platform and skipping forward based on crowdsourced timestamps, then the only thing you're providing are the timestamps, which don't violate copyright.
