They are both viable options that have different advantages.
VBox has a nice friendly GUI.
KVM is fast & efficient.

The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests

The Police Squad TV show failed because nobody was used to paying attention to TV.

+1000 for 12 Angry Men. A fantastic drama for a group to watch together.

Spook = ghost (aka a soul unhoused a living body)

Sounds like you are looking for a mentor, “life coach”, or even a therapist. Life coaches are unregulated and ill defined. The kind you would want are not likely to be looking for such a young client. Is there an older family member you can talk to (not parent or sibling)?

Talking through things can bring clarity, even if the person you are talking to has no advice.

Google is an advertising company. Their goal is to maximize profit from advertising. Avoiding government regulation is part of that goal. By imposing “good enough” self-regulation they hope keep governments from stepping in. Their solution is definitely better than the currently dying 3rd party cookie free-for-all.

Mozilla is right to question whether “targeted” ads are a good idea at all. I personally find it easier to ignore non-targeted ads, myself. But, if Mozilla decides not to cooperate & holds out for the Platonic ideal tech, they may cause ad dependent web sites to block Firefox completely. That would not be good for any of us.

Chitown for Chicago.

I’ve aways assumed “normie” was an insult. But I might be over sensitive to such things, becaise “cis” also sounds like an insult to me.

I am paid to perform other duties as assigned.

It’s not at all weird if that tbe Batman you grew up with. I think all these “dark” and “serious” Batmans are silly.

Don’t feed the trolls.

I’m pretty sure everyone here understands both sides of the argument, but just don’t concider it important enough to change their vocabulary.

I’ve been running Linux as my primary OS since the late 90s and have never run into this problem.

Don’t feed the trolls.

Thanks. I’ve always wonder what you ate.

I actually like Hawaiian pizza, I just hate to call it “pizza”. It should have a totally different name.

I’m pretty sure most people share this opinion.

In the early 90s at the dawn of my programing/sysadmin career. I showed up to my first week of work at “Initech” in dress pants, shirt, and tie. The senior gray beard UNIX sysadmin wore wholey jeans and ratty t-shirts. I don’t recall whether he sat me down and told me, or I figured it out on my own that to be taken seriously in a technical field you must dress down. Brilliant people look disheveled (see Albert Einstein, Steve Wozniak, et al). I ditched the stupid tie & began dressing more comfortably.

Anthropologists call this antagonistic aculturation. Us IT geeks intentionally set our selves apart from the business drones & we had to exercise our privilege of dressing comfortabley while working ungodly hours to solve impossible problems.

Now I’m the gray beard and I’ve mentoed the brighter of the pimple faced youths I’ve hired in the ancient customs of our tribe. Looking back, It seems that IT’s greatest influence on business has not been the increased efficiency of the paperless office, but the casual attire that most office workers now enjoy.

You’re welcome, world.

I’m happy with my somewhat overpriced XPS15, but I had to get it with Widows. I wiped that nvme & installed Kubuntu right away.
