I don't think we should be testing this. In any case, most dictators were barely smart enough to keep the right people happy for long enough to hold power.

Disney will simply claim that Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse is a trademark as they have been using it in their properties for the last few years. So I predict that Disney will sue anyone trying to use it so that they can retain ownership.

This will be a repeat of the 2020 election. "We will definitely win and if we don't, it's because the court is unfair".

The question is will his idiot followers storm the courthouse after the verdict?

The core problem is education and bad UX. People are taught how to do specific things (click here, type this word, press this button) without ever being told why. And the bad UX discourages exploration of different ways of doing things. So it never occurs to them that there might be a better way.

Personally, I think it's ok for people to not have a deep understanding of their computer, but if you use one for hours every day, it makes sense that you know how to use it. Just like I don't expect a driver to know how to take apart an engine but they should know how to change a flat or put in coolant.

If you don't want Google to see what you're doing then don't use Google products
