Let's pretend that picrel is a genuine program and it works exactly as advertised (providing a software interface to time travel, likely taking advantage of some fictional "accelerator" card). Who would be allowed to use it, how much would it cost, and what would the implications be?

Courts.

nobody would be allowed to use it
implications would be total destruction of the universe

Imagine the horrors that happened at 1.0 that made all those improvements necessary

The timeline the user was in before using the program would stay untouched. He'd just slip into a different timeline that he's fucking up.

1.2 didn't account for the movement of earth through space.

LOL. I remember the days when I was delusional enough to think I could build and program a time machine. Thanks, Chronovisor. Anyway, this isn't a problem of software ethics. It doesn't matter if the time machine is controlled with knobs and dials or embedded Windows. The entire tech would render life meaningless. Why bother with anything when you can just piss off to another timeline as soon as you face the slightest inconvenience?
>>108456262
What cat?

what about a "wayforwardmachine" like waybackmachine but it lets you see the web's future on a designated page. Forgot about the realism - just think about how fun that would be from 2026 to 2046. But the browser might not be able to hold future formats. Though maybe not much will change
