This thought provoking article is making me rethink my recent assertion that the Epstein files scandal is distracting us from the "real issues".
>>Thereโs an incorrect belief that the Epstein case is somehow separate from the real concerns facing America, a conspiracist concoction untethered to reality. But itโs actually about the policy issue Iโve probably spent more time writing on than any other in my career in journalism: the two-tiered system of justice and accountability in America, and the impunity we afford the nationโs elites.<<

Okay, but can I use it without the VTT at all, or will it just crash again like the last version (I don't have a microphone for this project so I don't want unnecessary AI or VTT modules loaded)? I tried doing a dummy interface method but it didn't work (can you say "hard locked").
I'm still running xfce on my TV box only because I couldn't get bigscreen running without doing a bunch of stuff I don't want to do that only relates to a feature I can't and don't even want to use.
