Yep, that's what they would say if it were a dem.

Not a whole lot of difference...
The problem is one of trust; there is none.

If prices generally went down across the board, it would be indicative of ...
This is always what gets said. The real truth is that prices can go up and down for a lot of reasons and this line gets used as an excuse for our attempt-infinite-growth economic mindset.
... shows a small real wage growth, meaning wages growing faster than inflation
This is due to the (temporary) shift of power to the workers during the pandemic. I personally believe this "inflation" we're experiencing now is a direct reprisal for that very small and very late wage increase. Profits are soaring all over, but belts are being tightened for (seemingly unknowable reasons) coming down from C level.
Has in the past, is doing so now, and will continue in the future. I thought everyone was on the same page regarding GOP deceit and their general disingenuousness.
Prices go up, wages stay down; that's how it's supposed to work. Prices going down? My God, imagine things being more affordable!??!! It would break everything if people could afford their necessities. If people didn't struggle for survival, they could start thinking about how things are being done, and how they could be done differently. So the answer is obvious: everything has to be made worse, continuously and iteratively worse over time. That's the plan and it's the best we can do, we are told. Isn't strange how all of these market rules always favor the rich? Why do we have to do this over and over and over? Just for the rich.
I'm in a similar spot, trying to setup a Linux dev vm (in vmWare). I'm my case, the performance is fine but when my host machine goes to sleep the Linux vm locks up tight.
We should bombard them with 20 megatons of gay swatches, make it rain.
It's Christmas, it's Christmas in heaven..
Your views of Microsoft and dotnet are very outdated, as you've been informed. You can develop dotnet code on Linux/Mac, Intel/arm using whatever editor or ide you like. The tooling is comparable to other language (i.e. dotnet add package ..., dotnet build, dotnet test bla bla), it's performant and imo fun.
You should check out the ASP .net core 7 minimal api, it's a great way to run a backend api (no IIS required), or write some code to control gpio on a raspberry pi, you could try out F# in vs code(ium) using the polyglot Jupyter notebook extension, or just use the repl shell...
Anyway, I just wanted to address the 'fun' factor.
