That reminds me, it's about time to renew my VSCode license. If I knew it would be so high maintenance, I never would have paid for the three-year plan.
Instead of speaking about his right to do this or not, I think this conversation should be about the rise in C-suite executive compensation and Jack Welch style business decisions.

I think the coolest thing about this tool that I haven't seen mentioned yet is randomizing homework and tests for students on pen and paper without an expensive web platform. This completely eliminates cheating in a math class. Would some sample AI generated text for problems be nice? Sure. But this is the bulk of the work already done IMO.
"On Dec 11 at 7:30 PST, our main database crashed & corrupted some of the data. This is unplanned & we've been working around the clock to restore it. It's a painstakingly slow process given the scale of data. We unfortunately have no ETA but we're doing everything we can."
I use BTRFS on my laptop and in case anyone is interested in trying it, please be sure you know how to chroot into the system in case it won't start. Arch Linux had a problematic GRUB package pushed to stable a few months ago and it bricked people's computers by booting directly to the BIOS. Whatever you do, make sure to take notes on the configuration (if it is DIY) because there are many difference between BTRFS and EXT4, so you can't use a normal chroot guide to fix your system.
