I've been thinking about this and I'd categorically tell anyone asking about justifying text that would ultimately be copied and pasted, left justify it. Because of the use but also because of the westwardness of things in general.
On a lighter note:
A Zoo visiter walks past the front gate of Jack Hanna's Imperial Animal Venue and approaching the docent at the first water attraction he comes across, gazing with astonishment at the creature wallowing in the shallows below the fence, says to him "That is the strangest reptile I've ever seen" to which the docent points to the shingle hanging above and says "That's the world's meanest orneriest lizard and it's called a Crockagator, hence the sign".
The visitor reads the title of the sign and steps a couple feet closer to read the finer print beneath the bold letters and says out loud "Two-headed beast: one end the mouth of an alligator, on the other end the mouth of crocadile". He kinda scratches his head for a moment and thinks to himself then says to the docent "I see ... two heads, must be very hard to feed and eats a lot to boot. But what makes him so beastly"?
To which the docent replies: "If you had a mouth on one end of you and another mouth on the other end of you, you'd be mighty beastly too.

If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

I recently purchased a low end laptop for testing software. I find that the Windows 11 it came with is pretty snappy.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

win 11 has been good to me, whether laptop or desktop. latest version is very solid so far.
edge is just still an option as far as I am concerned. but decent.

I don't like some of the UI changes in Win11 (I didn't like some of the changes in Win10, either), but other than that it seems pretty solid. It runs nicely even on an i7-2670QM CPU (the oldest I have).
The major issue,, as far as I'm concerned, is TPM - will a future version refuse to run without it? I'm not really worried about it not running on 15-year-old CPUs; that is prehistoric in CPU terms.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

It runs without it just fine. We're installing it on industrial PC's without TPM with no issues.

The trouble is, I'm lacking inspiration, and things like Entity Framework, XML serialization (which is crap, but it's there), and other obvious applications of it have already been done to death, or are produced my microsoft, and in everybody's regular rotation such that a contribution in that arena would be at best futile, and at worst annoying.
I wrote a great lexer generator that uses it. But now what?
I've talked myself out of generating parsers. Short of some sort of AI code synthesis, they are too bloated and restrictive to be very practical in the real world.
I thought about generating component model stuff, like the common component property changed event patterns on classes but the core stuff really involves UI components, and it seems like .NET UI is still all over the place. I want the dust to settle before I commit to something like MAUI.
