Can't they just pretend that they don't exist anymore without changing anything?
Interestingly that site got DDOS'd.
GPL may be true for end user facing applications but it's terrible for libraries where the primary user is the developer.
In this scenario our society would be split into two groups if we pay pensions for eternity:
Those who lived long enough to receive their pension. Their body turns 30 again thanks to breakthroughs in science. And those who never age beyond 30 and so they never get their pension.
The first group effectively gets "basic income" and they probably own houses/apartments so their living costs are quite low. You can either let everyone have pensions or get rid of pensions.
Nobody is going to pay for your pension forever. Do you really want to spend your entire life working?
Every application you run has at least one thread or how did you think the main function is run? You won't be able to run multiple applications without multi-tasking.
>how did it really change things for GUIs.
GUI applications are usually single threaded. This means if you run anything blocking in that thread the entire application will freeze. The GUI thread can still continue if you run your blocking task in a worker thread.
The OS sheduler will take care of your threads even if you have only a single core to make sure everything remains responsive. (yes they were clearly talking about websites for mobile devices /sarcasm)
The only advantage of parallelism compared to concurrency is more performance.
