In 1995, I had an AIM screen name, an ICQ UIN, a Jabber thing, which we began consolidating in Pidgin, and my girlfriend was experimenting with Cu-SeeMe and some kind of “microblog” twit thing.

The Mughals are known to me in two ways: even as a child, I heard the moniker “mogul” as a wealthy person who specializes in some industry or service. Most prominent is “Media Mogul” such as Ted Turner. A pundit on television or writing a newspaper article would often apply it.
Secondly, cuisine. At least one seminal Indian cookbook I owned had a section devoted to Mughal dishes and explaining how the Empire influenced the culture insofar as what people were permitted to eat, and what foods/ingredients were made available. The Muslim Mughal diet contrasts with the Hindu dishes, and the seafood of the coasts and Goa presents another dimension.
Should “QR Code” be capitalized?
Yes. “QR Code” must always be capitalized: both letters in “QR” and the “C” in “Code.” The registered trademark symbol (®) should follow the term in published materials. Using lowercase, adding an “s,” or other variations does not exempt you from the trademark.
That trademark seems unlikely to survive reality. This sort of societal disregard is a specific argument to invalidate — knot a desirable outcome when suing a bunch of theoretical mathematicians.
YouTube already hosts significant factories of programmatically generated music; just look for Creators with the 3-hour or 10-hour or livestreams. For YouTube Creators, and also for Photos editors (that's everyone with an unrestricted Workspaces account), they provide a menu of background music that is "royalty-free" and so you can attach it to a montage or your own videos, to avoid awkward silences, or set the mood to vaguely sorta what you were hoping for.
So it's an evolutionary step in my view, rather than a revolution.
While the collection is now termed by modern scholars as "Book 2 of the Iliad", there was no such thing as a "book" as we know it, in those times; there were codices and scrolls and manuscripts, etc., and everyone's favorite: the palimpsest!
"Book" has been used to translate the Latin word "liber", which is the word used by the Ancient Romans for the parts of a bigger document, each of which would have been written on a different scroll.
Latin "liber" was used to translate the Greek words "biblion" or "byblos", which are thus the oldest source of the word "book". "Byblos" originally meant papyrus in Greek, but later it was also used for the parts of a big document. A later form of this word, which was more specialized with the meaning of "material for writing" or "book", is "biblion" (a diminutive), having the plural "ta biblia" = "the books", which is the source of English "bible".

I didn’t really use IRC, but everyone else did.
