No. Pitch is not super important (and almost certainly will iron itself out as the ear improves) and can be a marker of the other issues.

I completely agree with OP that breath management is the number one issue I hear in a beginner.

Sourcehut is fantastic because you can also SSH into the CI machine.

Yes; the student project you were talking about.

It wasn't clear to me it was _your_ project nor who pirated it. I was under the impression it was a well known scandal from your original, unedited comment.

Apologies if my comment sounded hostile; I was just asking for a clarification/more information on it.

Apologies, but it would be good to add links for your anecdotes.

Not all of the readers of your comment have the appropriate context and know what you're talking about. I certainly don't.

Similar - realistically, unless you're stuck at home in a city, you can also plan to stop off somewhere on your way back from some event. If you mostly walk/public transport the overhead of this is very low.

If your events are regular, then you don't need to do the research each time either; and it becomes maybe an extra five or ten minutes.

Re-migration almost always targets children _born_ in the country.

In this thread a speaker of the party is quoted as talking about people who had Swedish passports i.e. citizens.

Would you not see it as ethically bad to split the citizens into "true" citizens who can't have their citizenship stripped and second tier citizens who can?

And if the country only serves the former...

This is an extremely far right stance. It's essentially advocating systemic discrimination against ethnic minorities.

Ask yourself the following questions.

1. Who decides whether you don't belong into Swedish culture?

2. Do the requirements change?

3. How many generations removed before your rights aren't conditional?

Okay - but that doesn't mean I'm not going to weigh up what you say when I'm choosing a business to support; especially if it's not in a professional context.

Interesting, it was indeed design and technology; we weren't given a choice - we did both for a a couple of lessons each (cooking, sewing, woodwork, electronics, metalwork and graphic design).

I guess it must have been dependent on the school then?

It was useful - I'm quite sure I wouldn't have gotten any exposure to those subjects without it.

In the United Kingdom, we learn (maybe past tense, I've no idea if the curriculum has changed) how to use a sewing machine at secondary school.

I know of a few shops (names you've heard of!) who are trying to transition to AI-only coding (i.e where engineers must vibe code...) - despite already having a few production bugs with their current approach.

Not really? If the same value and wealth is being created - the redistribution of it raises the floor as well.

May I ask how long you've been teaching and generally how big the behavioural change and/or timespan has been?

Perhaps I'm mistaken but the project doesn't need a copy of the original ROM at all right?

To be clear; I don't really understand the law around this - my own country is based on case law which means that even if I wanted to open source some of my reverse engineered games (I have a few private partial implementations of some old defunct game engines in-progress), the distinct lack of prior cases means, sadly, it's prudent not to release them at all while the companies are still active.

Interesting; but the GitHub project linked seems to have the original animations from the ROM.
