The helper agent for Mac OS X Lion's Resume feature; TALAgent is the shortened name (in NSNomenclature) for "Transparent Application Lifecycle Agent." It's a small background utility responsible for launching applications that were open when the computer was last shut down, and for quitting certain applications when RAM gets low.
It was assumed that by preventing TALAgent from running, one could keep unwanted applications from re-launching. In fact, it only caused more problems.

Solarpunk is a movement focused on a positive, ecological vision for a future where technology is used for human-centric and ecocentric purposes. It is a literary, artistic and aesthetic sub-genre and is also closely tied to eco-political activism. Solarpunk narratives have a distinctly positive and utopian foundation in contrast to the often dystopian visions found within other "punk" science fiction genres.
Solarpunk is a literary movement, a hashtag, a flag, and a statement of intent about the future we hope to create.
