My point is that most people don’t even really know that’s how a VM works. They just think of a VM as a fresh sandbox where they can install and run stuff without deleting somebody else’s files or programs.
- wrs 7y agoI'm hearing a repeated theme in your comments that people don't know much about how anything works, and that's supposedly OK. That's actually not OK. :)

Until we can Matrix beam info into our skulljack, humans will spend a notrivial amount of time having to make do with using things while not fully understanding how they work. Unless one is 31337-rockstar-ninja-IQ150-programmer, the uptake of new skills is painful and takes time. The pedagogical process is important. It's totally OK to not know how anything works as long as you acknowledge that and are willing to learn.
- wrs 7y agoI totally agree. That wasn’t the sentiment I was responding to, which sounded more like “nobody knows how that works, and they don’t really need to, so why are you wasting their time explaining how it actually works?”
