I think it’s unlikely he’ll be pardoned, at least for quite a long time. Lawmakers are actively concerned about this and will soon ban pardons for insurrection charges.
It’s also a heavy burden to let a political figure die in a cell, but given how things are going, I’m fairly sure he’s going to spend a long time there.
Humans will always be miserable and for the most part, we are just as miserable as we were few years or few decades ago, if not better off. We can(and frankly, should) enjoy nice things from time to time.
I'm pretty sure it's mathematically guaranteed that you have to be bad at compressing something. You can't compress data to less than its entropy, so compressing totally random bytes (where entropy = size) would have a high probability of not compressing at all, if no identifiable patterns appear in the data by sheer coincidence. Establishing then that you have incompressible data, the least bad option would be to signal to the decompressor to reproduce the data verbatim, without any compression. The compressor would increase the size of the data by including that signal somehow. Therefore there is always some input for a compressor that causes it to produce a larger output, even by some miniscule amount.
Why's that? I'm not really sure how DEFLATE works but I can imagine a crappy compression that's like "5 0" means "00000". So if you try to compress "0" you get "1 0" which is longer than the input. In fact, I bet this is true for any well-compressed format. Like zipping a JpegXL image will probably yield something larger. Much larger.. I don't know how you do that.
