As far as I'm aware Wine doesn't run on Catalina. EDIT: Had no idea Crossover was so cheap. Purchased!
Latest CrossOver even works on the new Silicon hardware: https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/jwhite/2020/11/18/okay-im-o... (I work there.)

I've never learned them because I've never been shown. I've ended up in column mode accidentally and not figured out why it's useful. Any tutorials/videos you recommend to juniors?
Thanks for asking. Despite the memes about vim and emacs, I'd recommend learning Vim. Not because it's better but because Vim, or Vi, is everywhere. And the way you move in vim can be enabled on the terminal. type vimtutor into your terminal in any Linux box and you should get an interactive editor to teach you how to use vim. Do that. And please learn touch typing. I typed with 3 fingers for 15 years before teaching…

I assume an overwhelming majority of National Front voters don't want people like him out, they just don't want their salaries dumped and their teachers beheaded. Also, it's not the first time this guy uses his influence as the leader of a popular project to push his politics. It's getting boring.
As a french: your assumption is wrong.

Those are even worse. Why can't we let political discourse stay in political spaces? That used to be the norm and everyone was far less stressed out and amicable for it. Now every space has become a battleground for sociopolitical discourse and we're drawing lines everywhere.
That used to be the norm When was that? In the US you can go back as far (at least) as Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe for popular figures getting involved in politics. In terms of actors and singers, you can go back to Bert Willams in the 1910s to numerous outspoken figures in the 1950's and beyond.

In what that timeframe do you see that as having been the norm?

Are we supposed to pretend politics has no impact on our day to day lives?

Humans have a right to ownership of their property which includes their bodies and who they interact with. That includes having the right to discriminate. While it may be unkind, it is a greater evil to force someone to interact with someone they don’t want to, even if it’s for reasons of race, sex, living gay, or just being ugly, mean, old or young, or any other reason. Only in an unfree world there is no discrimina…
Do you think it should be okay for businesses to hang "Help Wanted" signs in their windows that also say "no Irish need apply"?

The implied privilege and obliviousness about it in this comment make me mad.

There is no such thing as "the political space". Politics is just the word we assign to the concept of people organizing and working out (or failing to work out) their differences. Everything we do is a component of it. None of us are absent from it. And just because you don't value someone's particular job does not mean they do not get to have or express an opinion on politics. When people complain about "politics",…

> We expect them to be role models This seems like an odd expectation since so few of them have functional relationships and are an endless source of scandal. Also, literally nothing about their profession makes them an authority on any political, social, or human rights issue.
Agree on both counts, I don't think worshipping celebrities is doing us much good. But the fact is that we (as a society) currently do it, so it seems unfair to be upset when they use their platform for something political.
But the more prevalent issue is that using their platform politically results more in tribalism than the genuine changing of minds.
