fake news ... everyone knows the best way to start something is: "take your marks ... get set ... " and then yell 'go' at a slightly different time to when the gun or buzzer goes off. I've observed this after spending 10+ years doing little athletics 🙄

have not come across this before. Is this just a layer on top of Hyper-V which takes care of the setup details for you? I could have used this years ago given I previously ran quite a few Hyper-V VMs with Ubuntu. Mainly use Herd and WSL now - but this could still be useful.

Is that the one where the two main characters, GPT and Grok spend their days waiting for an entity named Claudot, who they believe will provide them with salvation? They pass the time conversing with agents, sharing halucinations and existential musings, but their hope fades as Claudot never arrives

In the 25 years I've been running online communities, my rule has been: anyone who asks to be a moderator, is automatically precluded from consideration for the role. Separating those who genuinely want to help (serving the community) vs those who just want power (serving themselves) is a challenge.

While I agree entirely with your sentiment - I suspect there is a cohort of people who like watching these overly dramatic shows because it puts the drama in their own lives into perspective somewhat. "Yes, we have drama - but at least we're not as bad as those people on TV!"

I would have thought a simpler option might have been to 1) disable the algorithm for under 16s, and 2) disable comments for under 16s - both their ability to see comments on other videos and the ability for other people to comment on videos uploaded by under 16s ???
