If what you're implying is true (that anyone who couldn't otherwise graduate from Harvard could graduate with remedial classes) then literally anyone could potentially graduate from Harvard with remedial classes and everyone has exactly the same potential.

Yeah. Harvard is hard to get in to, it's not hard to graduate from.

"Black" culture in the U.S. is unlike anything I've seen anywhere else in the world (although it is slowly taking hold in the UK as well) and it promotes values that are antithetical to academic success and conscientiousness in general.

You don't know what "Black" culture is. You also don't know what "White" culture is, because "White" culture includes songs that promote wasting money, shooting people, and getting drunk to avoid problems.

I would not be surprised to see a new, entirely evidence-free hypothesis emerging:

Unsurprisingly, you can't recognize that your own hypotheses are evidence-free. Likely because you look for evidence to support your ideas, rather than to test your ideas (which is what a scientist would do).

Now you're just using motivated reasoning, that's a logical fallacy.

That is possible in a minority of cases, where the professional program isn't making use of specialized hardware for acceleration or accessing resources using custom protocols and such.

No, specialized hardware for acceleration is the minority of cases.

Open source is wonderful and a powerful set of ideas from an academic perspective, but like things such as communism what works in the lab doesn't always mesh well with reality.

Open source works in reality. You're using motivated reasoning, stop it.

Feel free to correct me on this, I'd love to play Helldivers 2

People are reporting that it works with Proton/Wine (although some Radeon video cards seem to have trouble with it).

Some older MMOs I guess... Now there's a dying genre. Whatever happened to those anyway?

Final Fantasy online is putting out some good content still.
