I think Daniel Stenberg's (of cURL fame) journey with AI reports is going to be repeated for every major project and many will not enjoy being subjected to it.

AppleTV has a Tailscale client that you can use an exit node. That's what I do to VPN back to home when I'm traveling.

I read 2 or 3 books at once. I pick the one that fits my mood or my activity -- for example, I'll listen to a low effort audio book when out for a walk or when at the gym.

People are often surprised - "You're reading three books at once?! How do you keep track?". I normally point out that they're probably watching 5 different TV shows right now and they have no problem with that. It's not really different.

No old programs wouldn't be able to compile anymore with the proposed change

Yeah, I think it's because none of the compilers are obligated to support the standard and things get added that never get implemented.

A good example is the C++11 standard garbage collection! It was explicitly optional but afiak no one implemented it.

I'm not talking about software compiled by the compiler having a higher default.

Warnings becoming errors would be scoped to gcc itself only, and they can fix them as part of the upgrade.

Shouldn't the compilers be on the bleeding edge of the standards? What is the downside of switching to the newest standard when it's properly supported?

It's the type of dog fooding they should be doing! It's one reason why people care so much about self-hosted compilers, it's a demonstration of maturity of the language/compiler.
