Luckily the school was rather new so all of the PCs across the entire school were identical, whether they were for a teacher's use, the programming class, or the graphic design and yearbook clubs so I was luckily able to avoid any of those shortcomings.

Cant say my school had anything of the sort (they'd prefer to punish and force you back in line with other students) and while I like the idea, I know that in HS it'd feel too akin to snitching on my classmates to participate in that.

This sounds super similar to a prank I pulled in high school.

At school, it was sort of a cat-and-mouse game between the students and the sysadmin. Kids would find new ways of evading the school blocks (different proxies, someone getting a bypass login, etc so they could access myspace) that the admin would then catch a couple weeks later and close. A lot of these proxies were distributed on the fileserver that was shared between students.

One day, I wrote a small piece of software in my programming class (in VB6!!) that would wait a random length of time, and then open and close the CD tray. I wrote a short batch script that would copy that file to startup and then open the current popular proxy software. I then changed the icon on that script and placed it where people expected to find the proxy software, giving them reason to run my script.

Students then unknowingly disseminated my software all over the school, and the next day (after PCs were rebooted overnight) the software would take effect and randomly open/close the CD trays of computers all over the school.

They ended up tracing it back to me (windows user permissions/ownership, probably) and I was promptly banned from computers at school through the end of the year and for most of the next.

Not yet listed in the CV are my side projects. Most can be found on my site at https://momo.software/portfolio.html, and within the past week I launched a newsreader app on the Google Play Store (awaiting acceptance on iOS App Store) and am currently working with another client to get her event coordination/vacation booking site running.

It is my personal goal to move to the Toronto area. Ideally, I'd be working in the area under a worker's visa, or in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area, either onsite or remote. Otherwise, I am open to positions all over the US and Canada.

Heaven forbid someone make a joke on the internet and not take your frustrations as seriously as you seem to take yourself.

To address your frustration at the analysis stopping there: What do you expect someone who is likely more versed in web dev and their unique distributed systems to do? Do you expect them to have the expertise to decompile an app from a third party, an app popular enough to cause this much traffic? And if they did, would it be worthwhile when their only concern is limiting/lowering that traffic?

Don't feel that way, judging by your response it's clear you never progressed past childhood.

most "professional" streamers will have a separate encoding/streaming PC w/ some sort of capture device (commonly one of those Elgato capture cards). They'll then hook in their main PC or console into the capture card.

Main reasons for this are to eliminate the overhead of reencoding video in OBS w/ multiple layers of images/videos/donationAlerts/etc which can have a negative impact on the game (or other software) they're trying to stream.

The virus has a multi-week incubation period, during which you're infectious despite not yet showing symptoms. Even if you never show symptoms, you can still carry and transmit the virus.

Symptoms (or the lack thereof) are not an indicator of whether or not someone has contracted it.

Maybe they could do as VLC on iPhone does and raise a little web server that you could then "upload" the roms to, which would then save to a location the app has access to.

Alternatively, download from the web or access files in Google Drive?

This is disgusting. The value a worker provides the company does not magically go down just because their expenses go down. If I am providing the same value that another worker is, we should be compensated similarly regardless of where we choose to live.

Anything less is theft

I don't see how 1 is an issue when Alex Jones et al were deliberately spreading hateful misinformation.

Aiming to CYA by booting someone off of a private platform and others following suit is not the same thing as "conspiring to censor" someone

It is when the worst of one set has the means to do much more good than the best of the other set, and yet squanders it in their greed.
