Extremophiles: "Are we a joke to you?"

Nah

Just make good enough solar panels that can run machines to turn your faeces into Tasty Wheat and all your excreted gases into useful ones and you can get rid of all the animals and insects you want.
Oh and you will need to cover the top of your structures on Earth with them and constantly maintain them against environmental wear and also make sure you have enough energy required for continuous micro-terraforming required to keep the place habitable for humans after the following ecological collapse.

So I can do programming and find and fix bugs.
How do I go on to advertise myself to them as a security researcher and get that hefty hourly fees?

Problem is, I am not very good at ~~fooling people~~ marketing.

But what does that have to do with acupuncture?

Because you forgot to tell them that you already have the dependencies at home?

I guess that's right.

Just that what I meant by "burning down a library" was the loss of information that would occur as a result.
Referring to historical events of burning down libraries, of which I can recall 2 of. One being the Library of Alexandria and the other being Nalanda Mahavihara.

In the modern day, where stuff is digitised and mass printed, burning books is not really going to cost loss of said information (much less, scanning it, which would cause nothing except potential loss of revenue to the publisher).
On the other hand, if you fill the internet with a bunch of false information, such that someone just looking something up, will see the false information way before the actual thing, that would have a similar (even worse) effect on the civilisation.

Considering that enough pro's are doing the same, perhaps you didn't really do it wrong?

Found the guy who passed the test with

printf ("    *\n   **\n  ***\n ****\n*****\n);

It's the thing you run when your Parallel Processing Card is not doing anything and you go - "might as well"

I finally have the ability to disable Middle Click to Paste, thanks to Wayland.
And I can have that settings per-pointing device, thanks to KDE.

And although I now have to worry about looking for a Keypress Displaying OSD, at least I need not worry about something like Discord, logging all my passwords (although I just stopped using discord to fix that).

I just connect my laptop's headphone output to my PC's Line-In using an AUX male-male connector.
