The XKCD All Modern Tech Infrastructure stack but modified.

On top of the modifications in the original post, there is an angry bird (Red) flying towards the tower. It takes the place of the Microsoft blob (but is still labelled "Whatever Microsoft is doing)

The remaining modifications from the original post are:

AWS and Cloudflare hold up the left side of the stack with a medium sized platform.
Unpaid Open Source Developers hold up the right side of the stack on a tiny pillar. DNS forms two tiny pillars on either side of the stack holding up the majority.
Below them the Linux Foundation forms an entire platform holding up the entire stack.
Below that is a tiny thin pillar as the basis of everything, it represents the undersea internet cables, it is being bitten by a shark.
At about the middle of the stack a giant lever is being turned slowly pushing the entire tower over, it's labelled AI.

Detournement of xkcd 2347 (dependency) : a black-and-white comic showing an exaggerated, chaotic tower of stacked rectangular blocks representing software dependencies, labeled “every conversation about dependencies since 2020". One of the rectangular blocks looks very small and unstable, next to it is a smaller recursively nested version of the comic labeled “this fucking comic".
