There is on old video of Gabe saying he doesn't care about privacy.

I think you meant piracy? Of course, I like a certain level of privacy when I commit piracy.

For Linux host and guests, is VMWare better than qemu-kvm? I used to use VirtualBox at home, but switched to virt-manager and qemu-kvm a few years ago. Network bridging was a pain in the ass to set up, but once I got it on the host, it's been more stable than VB was.

We will never truly know how many dimensions the Chess game has.

Who needs a 90-day evaluation? Likely, your computer came with a Windows key. Use it. In Linux, you can extract it from the command line.

sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

This key works fine when installing a VM.

Say it with me, now. As we all know, the infamous saying goes:

A COMPUTER
CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER
MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION

It's really incredible how marketing departments can radiate amnesia like this with such proficiency.

By allowing developers to build structures with inadequate parking

That's an interesting statement. I never would have considered that developers, while estimating the size of a complex's parking lot, would need to add an additional allotment for... lodging? I wonder if there's a formula to calculate this, and what the variables in this formula would be.

Here's a map of the progress made since the project was launched 18 years ago.

Not to worry, I'm sure the new billionaire tax, if approved, will cover any remaining cost.

I have to get into an alternative that is on linux. any suggestions?

VSCode and Kate.

I'm a Windows-hating, Microsoft-loathing, long time Linux user. And... I love VSCode.

I ran VSCodium for a while a couple of years ago, but then PlatformIO stopped working -- the whole MS plugin repos stopped working, so I just gave in.

Well, what are you waiting for? Step on it!

(The idiots may also have been algorithms.)

clearly copyrighted content

Is it, though? The recordings contain a lot of audience cheering, talking and laughter; miscellaneous background noise, and echos of the subject content -- the music. If the recording was made in a park, and a car randomly drove by with the radio turned up while a song was playing, would anyone argue the recording was copyrighted? Obviously, the intent of each of these recordings was to capture the music. But, the recordings were made by a private individual -- they're HIS recordings. I'd argue that if anyone owns a copyright on them, he does.

Thank you for taking the time to read all that! You are right, of course. It is something of an unsolved problem with the design. The question of "exactly what work are these draftees contributing?" is something I'm still working on; it may not literally be core parenting or teaching work, but actually more like e.g. hanging out with your cool uncle on the weekend who helps you learn life lessons. Maybe said uncle isn't exactly teaching or parenting material, but he still has something to contribute to building a child's character, and is assisting the parents just by being around to lighten the load. The Big Brothers Big Sisters charity seems to indicate that this is a sound principle with incredible ROI.

There would also be mandatory training to teach people the skills needed to do this work (critical to figure out what goes in there.) Also I'd like to hope that the system would "even out" over a few generations; if we assume the root cause of dangerous personalities like BPD or NPD is being trapped (or in an echo chamber) with a toxic parent figure, the practice of this "socialized parenting" is essentially guaranteeing kids have alternative support networks that can soak some of those traumas. Efficiency would never reach 100%, of course (does it ever?) and there would always be some difficult people for whom alternative credit would need to be devised, but in any substantial system there's always other work to do—maybe a truly broken person contributes by grading homework or something.

You can just say openly that you're an edgy, racist teenager. It's fine; the first step to self-improvement is admitting that you need help.

It seems the pressing the key actually generates Win+Shift+F23... and also function as a Right Ctrl modifier at the same time? It may or may not function normally if you're outside of Windows.

You sound like a car salesman.
