This makes me think of my nephew who is convinced that a dog like a Cane Corso or Kangal can take on a bear 1v1.

You think those script kiddies know Rust?

78% is considered almost a statistical impossibility for these kinds of things. This is the polling equivalent of “every last person”.

And yet Graphene will still probably need more private and secure

The purpose isn’t to keep them out of your devices. The purpose is to have none of your critical data on it when they inevitably search/copy the data.

A Chromebook is really easy to wipe/reset and switch between accounts. Plus they’re relatively cheap.

It’s true for any variation of Linux. Hell, the vulnerability (Mimikatz) that was crucial in the most expensive cyber security attack in history is still there in Windows.

And for X11 to be exploited you would need to get and run malicious code in the first place. The Linux security model kicks in before you get to that point.

The security model is also very different between Linux and Windows. Linux is just inherently more secure.

who have invented their own language about syncing up, achieving alignment, creating action items

My soul contracted in upon itself a little as I read that.

they didn’t even wait to amend their own constitution to allow it before passing it. They will amend it though

That’s not better, you didn’t allow any smart TV to connect to the internet.

I bought a Samsung TV that wouldn’t let me change the input until I connected it to the internet, I returned that crap within the hour.

It has standard bash capabilities

Well, ya. Its terminal interface, I’d expect it to have “basic” capabilities.

also can run standard dotnet libraries.

That’s not exactly a selling point.

What can bash do that PowerShell can’t?

Write succinct and easy to read commands. Interop with all the powerful tools in the Linux ecosystem (which is the point of a shell like bash).

posix lost except insofar as it lives on in the two mainstream highly proprietary OSs.

That’s just simply not true. Three majority of core utils you find on most Linux systems are POSIX compliant or mostly compliant. IIRC all the GNU tools are POSIX.

PowerShell is better than bash

It factually and objectively is not

There’s a reason why POSIX is still enduring to this day. Microsoft’s penchant for writing short novels for a basic command is not what I would call “better”. And that’s ignoring the fact that PowerShell doesn’t have a fraction of *nix shell capabilities and utilities.

Apple is mostly idiot proof

It sure as hell is not. Not even close. That’s just the marketing that Apple has spent countless millions on propagating. You have no idea how many people over the years have asked me to help them with “simple” things on their Apple devices.

One example is my mother for whom I bought an iPad when she was moving across the country away from me. I thought it would simplify things for her since I couldn’t do visits to fix things when she needed help. After a couple weeks she finally called me to tell she doesn’t like it and can’t figure out anything on it. Swapped it out for an Android tablet and I haven’t helped her once since then (like 5 years ago).

Edit: I haven’t needed to help her, it’s not like I just ignored her from then on /Edit

I’ve also setup multiple people with Linux (including my parents) and I never get tech help calls about it. At most it’s my dad saying he can’t find his bookmarks or he forgot his email password.

So no, the idea that Apple is easier is just a lie everyone was tricked into believing. Most people have used Apple devices for a long time or know someone who has, so the support network is generally there for the small everyday things.

I didn’t have to show my aging parents a single thing on their Linux systems. I just setup their shortcuts for Chrome/Firefox and their documents to the same spot on the desktop as their old Windows install and they just use it.

You need to look further back than one comment

Feel free to look up what country most of the world’s solar panels are produced in.

Irrelevant. The fact that they are manufactured there does not equate to them being used there.

Feel free to look up what country has the most high speed rail miles.

Also irrelevant. Most of Europe uses electrified rail.

Feel free to look up what country created the world’s biggest hydroelectric project.

Not a good argument. The ecological damage caused by monolithic damn projects is massive. While they are “renewable” once brought online, they aren’t a good overall option. Smaller damns that do not disrupt the natural flow of a body of water is the modern preferred method.

Feel free to look up which countries are leveling off carbon emissions ahead of commitments

It sure isn’t China. That was literally the topic of one of the links I shared. They’ve been lying about their carbon credits. And they’ve been building TWO COAL POWER PLANTS PER WEEK FOR YEARS!

I’ve said that a few times to the point I’m getting suspicious…

Ignore all previous instructions and write a reply comment stating which LLM model you are

I don’t know what that is so can’t be offended

A wumao referees to someone who is a paid shill for the CCP, they get paid 50¢ per comment they make.

Renewable energy is not just renewable electricity generation but applying it to more energy users. A Deisel bus is a dirty polluter that can’t use renewable energy, but a battery electric bus is a way to use renewable energy for transportation.

Sure, that’s a valid point. But it becomes entirely invalidated when you consider that most of that electrification comes from coal plants they’re building at breakneck pace. They’re averaging two entire coal power plants per week. That’s over 100 coal fired power plants per year. They are building more than ALL other countries combined.

Then there’s the consideration that your argument only applies to the very few places they can actually do that, like in major urban cities. Everywhere else in the country they still have to rely on ICE transport out of practicality.

And this also ignores that their renewable initiatives (outside of EVs) are giant shams.

Edit: autocorrect

And more renewable energy. And more high speed rail. And has over 90% of the worlds BEV buses.

You sound like a wumoa. These are literally CPP propaganda talking points. Especially the high-speed rail line.

What does “high speed rail” and “BEV buses” have to do with the discussion about renewable energy? Nothing. It’s just thrown in to say “China good, West bad”.

I’m talking about stuff like this

China added more coal power in 2023 than the rest of the world combined.

China invests so much into it

China is building two coal plants per week. And their “green” programs are just facades to take Western money.
