They're the single largest name in virtualization. Almost half of all companies using virtualization are using VMware. And that's a lot of companies. Companies who have to pay licenses to use it. That's a lot of worth.

Did you check out Lutris for mod managers? I know Vortex is on there and is supposed to work with all steam games.

A little detective work got me to this Linux specific mod manager that targets BG3 and CP2077 - https://github.com/CHollingworth/Lampray

Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

It made sense. There were also university CS departments doing the same thing. The Cell processor in the PS3 was pretty damn powerful for the price at the time.

Are \ exploiting ? The answer is always, 100% of the time yes. If you're not ultra rich or a corporation, than someone is exploiting you. Doesn't matter whether you're from the poorest nation in the world or the richest, if you're not in that exclusive club, you're being ground down for your constituent parts by it.

Is this corporation exploiting

That's all you need to ask. And the answer will always be yes.

Poorer countries
This part is superfluous. Hell, they'll exploit rich countries, too.

in order to maximize profits?

Most of the time this is yes, but not always. Sometimes they exploit people just because they can or it's just the way they've always done things. Those are the really disturbing ones. Exploiting for profit we can all understand even if we find it revolting, but we have a problem understanding when it happens because no one ever said anything or "it's just always how we did it" or some other such reason.

Conservatives: Lazy welfare queens and druggies! They just don't want to work! They chose to be this way! They should all be arrested and/or executed.

Progressives: throws money vaguely in that direction without direction Look we're helping! We're doing all we can.

Leftists: This is the fault of the capitalist system run by an ownership class!

Those of us who've been homeless or near homeless and those genuinely dedicated to helping the homeless: We need a comprehensive approach that takes all the challenges that cause homelessness into account and addresses them as a whole and in a meaningful way to create a long term sustainable solution.

Conservatives, Progressives, and Leftists to us: Shut the fuck up! What do you know about any of this? We'll figure it out! Now shut the fuck up!

We absolutely will not be shipping containers of food to Mars.

We absolutely will be. You have no concept of the amount of energy and resources needed to feed a single human being on Earth for one meal, let alone a whole colony on another world without a breathable atmosphere and possibly toxic dirt for an indeterminate time. Farming under the best of conditions is extremely energy consuming, then there's the need to either import hardware from Earth that is specially made for Mars or go old fashion and do a lot of it by hand. There is no where else in the solar system where you can just throw seeds at the ground in large enough quantities and feed whole cities. I do homesteading, my dad tried to be totally self sufficient foodwise when I was a teen. Guess what? Turns out that's really, really hard to do. And that's under the ideal conditions of Earth.

That's where they get you.
