I completely agree with you, but people should be aware of consumer-owned cooperatives. They are quite big in Europe, I don't know about America.

Are vegetables, fruit and legumes a foreign concept to you?

How about not destroying people's lives and childhoods because of you think change is scary.

It is most definitely a strawman to frame my comment as considering the companies "infinitely altruistic", no matter what lies behind the strawman. It doesn't refute my statistics but rather tries to make me look like I make an extremely silly argument I'm not making, which is the defintion of a strawman argument.

That's one way of strawmanning your way out of a discussion.

You need to first ask yourself if it more important to put blame than to minimize risk.

"Autonomous vehicles could potentially reduce traffic fatalities by up to 90%."

"Autonomous vehicle accidents have been recorded at a slightly lower rate compared with conventional cars, at 4.7 accidents per million miles driven."

I prefer having to logout to see content.

Indeed. Defeatism serves the fossil industry and is probably funded by it.

Rust protects you from segfaulting and trying to access deallocated memory, but doesn't protect you from just deciding to keep everything in memory. That's a design choice. The original developers probably didn't expect such a deluge of users.

VMs are often imperative and can be quite easy and familiar to setup for most people, but can be harder or more time-consuming to reproduce, depending on the type of update or error to be fixed. They have their own kernel and can have window managers and graphical interfaces, and can therefore also be a bit resource heavy.

Containers are declarative and are quite easy to reproduce, but can be harder to setup, as you'll have to work by trial-and-error from the CLI. They also run on your computers kernel and can be extremely slimmed down.

They are both powerful, depends how you want to maintain and interface with them, how resource efficient you want them to be, and how much you're willing to learn if necessary.

The privately-owned for-profit Internet is starting to pop. User-driven FOSS will reign supreme.
