Hackers in the 1990s:
We will write code so powerful that no government will be able to stop it! They can't outlaw code if it's printed in a book!
Hackers in 2026:
Some fascists in some parts of the world are making moves towards maybe threatening us, though nobody knows how their laws are supposed to work, let alone how to comply with their conflicting requirements. Anyway let's bend over backwards to comply in advance and lock threads so we don't have to be held accountable for our cowardice.
