I'd say he confabulates. Quite a lot. Seems to have his own reality not congruent with ours. So, this is about the difference between psychopathy and psychosis.

Regard for others is not a symptom of being possessed of a "soul", whatever that is. I do not have a spirit or a soul, or any other such religious stuff, I am just thinking meat. I believe that consciousness is just a story that your brain tells itself. I still have regard for others.

The difference is that users in your country can self-support and continue local development of the software, even if they are cut off from US-based communities. If the native language is not English, of course in this case it's Spanish, there are likely to be language-specific discussion and self-support sites already in use by people in that country.

Without getting into the underlying political issue, this is a good day for Free Software / Open Source. What else can you trust to be there when you need it?

So, you've never heard of aluminum?

And nobody vandalizes them, because it's Japan.

They had great iced coffee in cans, with brands like "Georgia", long before Starbucks and other US companies ever had canned and bottled coffee products.

That would be difficult. In general, reporting about a mark doesn't require acknowledgement of the mark.

In the USA, you have a constitutional right to state your opinion even if it's wrong.

You have a First Amendment right to state your opinion.

Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation are a problem everywhere, and are brought to curtail that right. Some, but not all US states, have an anti-SLAPP law. Having been sued for 3 Million dollars for giving my opinion that someone violated the GPL, I know the value of the California anti-SLAPP law. The plaintiff had to take out this $300,000 bond to pay for my defense. Stay tuned!

It's just much harder to multithread C without race conditions, live locks, dead locks, leaks and segfaults. :)

You forgot communication.

That makes sense. But this really becomes a difficulty of implementation question then, doesn't it? You could write multithreading in C that ran as fast. But maybe it would take a lot more time to write.

You'd have to try hard to get something that ran 69x faster than C in Rust. C is pretty close to the machine. If you want to brag about Rust, better to brag about the features it has which hadn't been thought of when C was invented.

Please consider that the store employees face a really significant risk of being hurt or killed in a robbery. Just search the news for "7-11 killed". Although they can put excess cash in a vault that they can't open, this does not deter the drug-user with a gun, who needs another dose now.

SpaceX now has a better safety record on reused rockets than new ones. Two new rockets failed, and no reused ones.

I hope they resolve the Crew Dragon issue soon. Depending on the Russians for access to space is a non-starter, and if Boeing has another problem with their rocket, which hasn't been a picnic so far, we're stuck.

The global configuration system is subject to roll-backs. I suspect this means the package configuration is ported to Guile Scheme, but I've not tried it.

Every distro could use a transactional package manager. It makes it trivial to back out a change that messes up your system, and then to inspect what went wrong. This also builds stand-alone environments on command, builds partitions for software containers, builds archives to provision a bare system, and builds images for bootstrapping hardware.

Their distro is also interesting in that it bootstraps from source, and packages are source (of course, this is the GNU project). They have a program called Mes that bootstraps a scheme interpreter, runs a C compiler written in Scheme, bootstraps TinyCC from source using that, and then bootstraps GNU C. This so far runs on a kernel, but they are discussing how to run it on bare hardware and bootstrap the kernel from source.
