Probably. As an American, I have to agree with you -- it's been the case for many years (WAY before Trump) that within 50 miles of our border, your rights go to wherever last year's snow went.
It's too bad so few people can say "My country, if right to be supported, if wrong to be corrected."
I have a Dell 2208 monitor with 4 USB-2 ports. If I bought three of these switches, would I be able to share keyboard/mouse/monitor between two machines?
My monitor does not have HDMI, just VGA.
Best part about open source -- Mercurial is still around, I use it for my home servers, and it's being maintained. I can use git, but Mercurial's workflow just makes more sense to me.

Your core skills are fine. Unfortunately, appreciation for those skills has already been blasted into orbit by the AI-BS bubble.
This tech has made it easier for second-handers to pass off inadequate work as the equal of your work. They're too lazy to exert the effort to read/think/write, and being second-handers, they're fine with the APPEARANCE of reading, thinking, and writing.
This has been going on for millenia, and the only fix I've seen is to call it out every time it rears its head.
I've read at least 8 articles this week about LLMs having massive hallucinations/brain-farts when writing testbeds for code. Unfortunately, the author didn't see the problems until he tried adding a test; then he had a huge WTF moment.
The fact that the LLM you mention gave good answers is probably more a reflection of YOUR documentation than any particular "brilliance" on the LLM's part.
If I treated reading like a chore, it would start to feel like a chore.
I'm not being graded. If I start a book and I don't care about the subject or the characters after 50-100 pages or so, it goes in my Goodwill pile. The only decent exception to that for me is Stieg Larsson -- his "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" books take their time getting started without being boring.
> I don't think I've ever seen a school essay back then that wasn't obviously written by a parent.
That's when you discuss the essay with the kid, and if he can't understand something that presumably he wrote, immediate consequences. First time == suspension, second time == removal from that class.
