if human civilization manages to survive the Y2K38 apocalypse, it will surely end when we cross the MAX_SAFE_INTEGER horizon on June 5, 2255 at 23:47:34.740991 UTC
me in the year 2254 spending $8,000 on a heavy steel safe to lock up the bottom 3 digits of my microsecond timestamps before the IEEE-754 rounding horizon hits . “just use a BigInt” shut the fuck up. i am guarding the 53-bit mantissa with my life

Imagine how bad Y2k would have been if programmers were useless vibecoding dipshits, and then think about all the time and money and effort currently being spent on useless ponzi scheme vibecoding billionaire pedophile Nazi shit instead of preparing for the imminent Y2k38 problem.

It's funny to think that tech companies almost certainly could have already solved the Y2k38 time problem with a small fraction of the amount of time and money they've burned on scams of one sort or another.
I bet the failed metaverse alone could have paid for fixing it.

It's cool that basically every big tech company simultaneously went from being a huge fucking scam to a huge fucking scam that doesn't work and *also* shoots itself in the foot every chance it gets.

What's cool is there is a Y2k38 problem that has been known about since Y2K, just as serious.
And unlike Y2K, the entire tech industry is busy jacking off scammers and serving spyware to bother doing anything about it.

Y2k was a non-event for everyone the media insisted on scaring with it because an ENORMOUS amount of very unadvertised underplayed work went into make sure it was a non-event.
I know it's different, but still, same principle.
"Everyone just over hyped Y2k"
"OS is what we feared Y2k would be and didn't pan out to be."
Like. Fixing shit allows people to forget how bad it was or could be and it's *infuriating*
"You did the hard work and now we can downplay it" 😑
