I love this idea, but I really wish it were Warcraft II voices.
The warcraft 2 demo had Easter eggs. One voice sample was "in the retail version I'm much funnier".

Cool idea but not very helpful if you're playing Warcraft III while waiting for claude code to be done.
If we get one based on warcraft 2 you can then play warcraft 3 safely.
"Job Done!"
"Work Complete!"
"Are you still touching me?"

I would like WOPR's voice from Wargames.
Apparently John Wood read the lines in reverse order to make the enunciation weird. If you train a model, feed the lines you want in reverse word order, then split on silence and reverse them again, you should come close.

I agree with you and I find the term "creating content" awful, even though I'm forced to use it because it's something people immediately understand.
"Content creator"... what happened to artist, playwright, painter, hobbyist, etc? It makes it seem as if they were making stuff for a corporation to sell.
Imagine Davinci putting ads for the Medici money lending services into his paintings. That's where we're at now.

Not quite filesystem navigation, but SGI IRIX's Performance CoPilot software had an IrixGL (OpenGL's precursor) UI for monitoring things like memory state, CPU/storage loads, etc.
The PCP is absolutely nowhere _near_ the graphical wizardry of the state of this app, and the overlay of executing code atop a given directory structure is quite beautiful (practicality be damned), but I can see the inspiration.
I do wonder if, on a modern Linux system with SELinix, this model (code accessing a directory) is actually closer to viable? SELinux's contexts/labels for subjects overlaying with the same for objects can, I imagine, be visualized. The normal access patterns would be way too overwhelming, I think - but exceptions/policy violations? :ponder:
PCP is still in active development. It's very cool, but probably made obsolete by otel and others. I used it on servers and services regularly until a few years ago. Very lightweight, robust and powerful.
Encrypt the BL key with the user's password? I mean there are a lot of technical solutions besides "we're gonna keep the BL keys in the clear and readily available for anyone".
This is a bit tricky as it couples the user's password with the disk encryption key. If a user changes the password they would then need to change the encryption key, or remember the previous (possibly compromised) password. A better option is to force the user to record a complex hash, but that's never going to be user friendly when it comes to the average computer user.
Basically, we need better education about the issue, but as this is the case with almost every contentious issue in the world right now, I can't imagine this particular issue will bubble to the top of the awareness heap.

"well ackchyually"
As a rule, I don't down-vote, so I'll reply instead. You're being obnoxious. Please stop it.

No it's actually like asking what cars have to do with debt. You can have a car without going into debt just like how you can have a credit card without debt.
Since you have such high moral standards I hope you don't invest in any index funds because lots of companies in those would probably not live up to your standards
I don't invest in index funds, and yes, many companies don't live up to any reasonable moral standard.

It has been legal for sellers to ask buyers to pay more if they use a credit card for 15 years now.
There is no "moral" quandary. Sellers that have the same price for credit and non credit payment methods are simply betting that people using credit will be more willing to pay higher prices overall and still buy from them compared to their competitors' with lower prices who charge more for credit cards.
Every year, fewer and fewer of my expenses are paid with a credit card because more and more sellers are not betting on this. My kids' gymnastics class/tutoring/daycare charges 3% or more for credit cards. My home wired ISP and mobile network provider charges 5% more for credit cards. My property tax, insurance, water/sewer utility, all charge 3% or more. Even Target charges 5% for credit cards. Basically all tradespeople that come to fix things on my house charge extra and ask for Zelle/Venmo electronic cash payments instead.
So in all these cases, I do not use a credit card to pay. But the point is, it is up to the seller to decide what price they want to charge for credit and non credit, so there is no "moral" quandary for buyers. No one's hand is being forced.
Edit: to respond to comment below due to hitting posting limit, the extra charge does not go to the card issuer, the seller collects the higher price. If I choose to pay with a non credit card payment as a result of the extra charge for credit cards, then the credit card issuer gets nothing.
Whether or not credit card interest rates and terms are usurious or otherwise morally problematic is not a credit card user's moral responsibility. When I use a credit card, I do not ask or enable or incentivize someone else to be taken advantage of.
The extra charges you are describing are a "cherry on the top" for the card issuers. They could easily survive without those charges (in many countries they do). They also act as a convenient diversion. If you think that's the way they make money you will avoid looking into the other ways they make money. Namely, exhorbitant interest rates on defaulted loans by those who were "sold" credit cards with no practical means of ever servicing the debt.
I realize 'midtagonist' is a standard sloppy internet neologism, but technically it should be 'midagonist', or maybe 'mesagonist' to keep it fully Greek.
(And yes, I'm delightful at parties.)
I appreciate the pedantism, and I'm sure I would happily spend hours at parties discussing similar inanities with you :-)
