Pendatically speaking, people do get credit for fixing problems that never happened. E.g. if the problems are quantifiable and there's a record, like dropping homicides from 100 per year to 20 per year in a city. Those extra homicides

A phrase like "who hasn't been driven mad by propaganda" doesn't exactly sound like impationately discussing the issue either.

Civilization is also built on cheating and taking advantage of naive trust. This isn’t very different.

Obviously you still run a virtual machine to provide the Linux part. But it's a tiny one, tightly integrated with macOS hypervisor, and the interface is standard OCI-compatible containers/images. It's not Virtualbox style VM.

But banning an entire technology is even better, as the potential for abuse and bad behavior is now scaled 1,000,000 times over.

Yes. It's as if some people can't understand anything becoming a new huge problem unless that problem didn't exist at all before.

Funny how confidently people can mock while knowing nothing about the specific tech discussed and the different targets. I'd google: VirtualBox vs containers.

This however is for Linux containers on macOS, and for those the deployment target are not usually/necessarily arm. (Plus, you could always even have amd64 linux containers on macOS AS, with good performance, via Rosetta2).

The whole point of container machines is their isolation. If we wanted access to all interfaces, we'd just run it locally. We want the container as a closed box, "wasting power doing math", i.e. processing what we actually pa
