Consequence:
Software can only be good, when enough people WANT to work on it and with it along the complete life-cycle. There’s a critical amount of developers/contributors/testers and (feedback providing) users.
Hence a lot of critical consumer stuff is based on popular opensource.
Also, we’re entering an aera where the difference between hardware/firmware/software gets increasingly blurred. So all of this applies to more and more hardware, too.

Don’t have prisoners all have the same preconditions?
With degrowth, in theory at least, growing poorer countries could get richer while degrowing richer countries would lose nothing.
I think solar occlusion is the way to go; you could harvest solar power 24/7 and beam it back via microwave;
That’s magnitudes more expensive than stopping fossils right now. Not to mention the impact on ecosystems worldwide.
Are these “generations” in the room with us right now?
and typically should sound much better than direct analog connection.
What would that improve? Builtin DACs already do a great job unless you are going to sample/process the output again in a studio environment.
input the PC audio into a home audio receiver/amp and use the headphone output from that to drive the headphones?
You not only can but depending on your amp it probably outperforms the average headphone amp in every aspect.
Also decent loudspeakers + cheap amp (+ cheap subwoofer) will likely outperform your average PC-Speakers.

Not sure if I’d trust an OS named like a Bond villain.
Great, now find a project to apply it and collect your participation trophy. :-P
and produce tons of excellent, reviewed but useless code on the way.
Didn’t he prefer theatrical acting & live audience and thus played his TV role like a theater actor would? I vaguely remember reading about it.
Those tend to traditionally exaggerate gesture, mimic and tone so the last row still gets everything even when they’re further away.
I find too verbose comments less annoying than no comments.
Try to describe the bigger picture. Good comments allow understanding the current portion of the code without reading other code.
Also add comments later if you find yourself having to read other code to understand the code you’re currently looking at.
Comments are also a good place to write out abrevations/acronyms.
Never optimize for sourcecode size.
You could do some automated/scripted installation VM-image builder thingy and release that. Would probably also save some manual work for you. (bash script fetching install image & run qemu, autounattend.xml, etc. all nicely released on github.) And it’d be auditable.
that’d be an awesome way to spread malware with some VM evasion.
not sure if any 3rd-party windows install should ever be trusted. no matter what usecase.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_programming might be an interesting read.
check carefully what you signed. If you didn’t sign anything saying otherwise, there’s nothing to prevent you from doing it.
If there’s something, you could still work around it (e.g. remove company secrets).
If the resulting product is provable better, then it’s objectively not the same thing you did for your boss.
After checking all of this, your local FSF might give you free legal advice to get going (keep all notes/correspondence secure for later if anything comes up. It proves you tried to act responsibly).
Sure it’s cancellation fees? This doesn’t seem legal.
I’m no expert either but I never got the idea of a new universe popping up everytime. Do other universes also cause popups of new universes or just ours? That’d escalate quickly :-)
I thought it goes that there’s already infinite universes existing from the big bang on. Otherwise universes would be created without big bang. (The new universe would just pop up and you’d still believe it was created by the big bang but there never was one)
Also I’m not sure if laws of thermodynamics had to span accross universes. Take two theoretical perfect vacuum/radiation sealed boxes you put an energy source into. There’s no way to communicate between boxes. Each box had it’s own entropy and state of energy. Both would obey the laws of physics while being separate “systems”.
That thought experiment wouldn’t work, if new boxes had to pop up if one of the boxes wanted to.
why would alternative universes share a single source of energy? couldn’t each have their own?
articles don’t mention mitigation methods.
