You can't answer this kind of question because "after infinity" is meaningless nonsense.

For a while (maybe even still, I haven't kept up with it) you could unlock paid features with a modded client, so they absolutely have a history of client-side verification.

Matrix does have a bot API, but there is not even close to as robust an ecosystem of bots to choose from. Whatever you want is probably possible, but depending on your needs you may have to write it yourself.

...why hold back from saying it though?

I get it. There's social friction in that kind of altercation, but fear of that social friction is a contributing factor for the current state of things.

Sure, you can't walk out on your job to start protesting in the streets because for all practical intents and purposes everyone is a single paycheque away from financial ruin, but Jesus Christ people, you can stand up to the batty woman in your local parish telling you that trans people are grooming children.

Yes, there are social consequences, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere, right? Are you seriously going to tell me that quiet acquiescence is preferable to ostracism from a sexist/racist/homophobic/etc social circle?

There are countless tiny opportunities to stand up and none of them are easy, but we're long past the point where they're necessary.

Unless you really need to optimise for land use. An arbitrarily large solar array in space could transmit to a fairly small collector in the surface.

As for losing power to atmospheric attenuation, high frequency microwaves will pass right through most everything that would scatter visible light. Clouds, dust, etc wouldn't really impede it.

I won't say it's not a silly idea, because it is. It's fun to think about though.

Satanic is not the same as satanistic.

I never cared much for the orange juice, but minute maid frozen lemonade concentrate is amazing. I'm going to miss that one for sure.

For reasons similar to why plain bread doesn't show up in sandwich recommendations.

I offer that it's actually worse, since it requires acting on it and knowing it's wrong.

...what do you think the point of marriage is (or was)?

You know you can have sex with someone without being married. The two concepts aren't actually requisite of each other.

If you're using vague, borderline nonsensical phrases like "install files" when trying to find out how to do things that might go some way towards explaining it.

Old hardware is certainly possible. I salvaged it from my parents who were going to throw it out. It's got an A10-8700P and is limping along with a single 4GB DIMM. The thing doesn't even have a second memory slot.
