... But it seems to me that being able to deploy a "fueling" station that requires no grid connection, not that much space (and what you're using for the panels is still technically available ground, if shaded) is a rather good thing.
I mean... If you're doing a video call and someone undresses (and you didn't want them to), are you unable to simply hang up?
Of course, I've never in 57 years had someone undress in a phone call, so what do I know?
The systemd version takes a similar approach - only handling the 99.9% use case of running a local command as a different user based on some basic rules and only really providing a userspace implementation without suid.
IIRC that use case is about 15% of OG sudo's code but most distros carry around all the features. I dunno, maybe it can be compiled without those but I don't see that in distros I've used.
Corporatism is a distinct concept from Capitalism. That's the one you're describing. There's been a psyop by Socialists to describe corporatism as capitalism so they get more of a merger of business and State (fascism).
Corporations are creations of a government in which governments get a cut and politicians get bribes in exchange for protection from justice for the corporate actors' crimes.
If you read Adam Smith he described this as Mercantilism in his time and recommended free market capitalism as its antidote with an emphasis on the accumulation of capital and investment into more competitive production.
Von Mises fleshed this out more a couple centuries later (followed by Hayek and Rothbard). The definitive work is
Notably corporations in the early USA were limited to public works projects and had time-limited grants (e.g. for building a bridge or later the railroads).
JD Rockefeller bribed Congress during Reconstruction to make corporations permanent, so he wouldn't lose his charter for Standard Oil. He later wrote the Sherman Anti-trust Act to hurt his competition.
Today we have immortal psychopathic corporations with a legal mandate to be depraved and with legal personhood. The Dulles brothers created the CIA to fight wars and conduct assassinations on behalf of the corporations. cf. United Fruit or the Pepsi War.
After the Revolution remember to forbid corporations. The Gini Coefficient is too damn high.
Hot dog on a bun with glyphosate, chips with BHT, ketchup with HFCS, pickles with Polysorbate 80, and a large Coke.
Hot dog caused Diabetes! Q.E.D.
This is why every civilization for thousands of years have made sausages. To make everybody fat and insulin dependent!
TRUST THE EXPERTS.
That's bold, considering the last flu vaccine round had a NEGATIVE 26.9% efficacy.

Yes, you read it right, if you were vaccinated you had a 27% HIGHER chance of getting the flu.

Now, a host of slashdot leftists are ALREADY TYPING THEIR RAGE_REPLY because I must be an antivaxxer.
Actually, I'm not. I just don't participate in the "with us or against us" bullshit binary that's accreted around the COVID vaccines. (So that probably does make me an "enemy" in their book.)
I consider vaccines to be one of the greatest achievements of modern technology. I'm vaccinated. All our kids are vaccinated, and I haven't a single qualm about recommending MMR and the slate of childhood vaccines for every little kid.
THAT SAID, I also think that
- COVID panic was largely bullshit. It was a highly communicable but otherwise not-very-virulent corona virus strain that mainly affected older and vulnerable people. Thus the term..."vulnerable". At the end, the IFR for COVID19 was basically a bad flu*. Cry all you want, argue the actual data.
- the COVID vaccines were rushed, not nearly tested enough, and have resulted in some very questionable ongoing heart and other issues in younger people that had NOTHING to fear from COVID. Given the high effort in deliberately confounding the outcomes during the Biden administration, it's unlikely we'll ever know the truth.
- I'd have had much more confidence in the entire COVID event had one side not made all the decisions for everyone and insisted no debate was allowed. OPENLY discussing the causes, the treatments, and what we did/didn't know would have been preferable to the "STFU we know what's good for you" nearly-totalitarian approach. Hell, here in MN there was an almost-palpable disappointment we didn't get to use the corpse-storage-buildings the state rushed to rent.
Do you take issue with my tone? Tough shit. Anyone daring to question the Holy COVID doctrine was aggressively silenced for YEARS while the mandarins in charge RUINED lives flexing their emergency doctrines and now will evade any consequence for their awful decision making. Yeah, that bothers me.

The median IFR (COVID19)was

0.002% at 20-29 years
0.011% at 30-39 years
0.035% at 40-49 years

Yes, lots more people got COVID. It was highly communicable. But nobody under 30 should have been even faintly discomfited, even people under 50 really shouldn't have given much of a shit.
Quarantining sick people in elderly homes was a catastrophically stupid idea and we knew it by March/April 2020.
After an Iranian missile hit, at least, the parking lot of Microsoft Israel, several reports came out saying that they were helping the IDF with genocide operations in Gaza.
I don't know if it's true but those are the real reports.
The timing and 'quiet' character suggests Pakistan might have told them to get the hell out.
"Developing story" as they say.
How common of a name is Soham Parekh in India?
At one time I was in a tech group with three Mike Johnsons. Assuredly different people, though slightly confusing.
But I don't really feel sorry for these startups going for global minimum wage and getting burned.
Hire an American named Steve from Akron and you'll be less likely to be scammed.
I searched and searched the comments trying to find your criticism of Mr Obama building "camps for undesirables" (or even the cages for children). Could you link those for me to show you're consistently about human rights and not just a tendentious hypocrite?
Except... basically all the warming already is done. Further increases in CO2 basically don't contribute to warming.

He had quite an amusing series of papers popping the bubbles of all the 'debunkers'.
He never proved what it was but he sure proved many things that it wasn't, as claimed by ThE eXpErTs.
Midwit scientists abhor an unknown and run to bad ideas like a safety blanket.
FWIW his grad student at the time had the better ideas, involving relative motion of solar systems within the Galactic Plane. His models were the best fit for the available data.
CD players were standard until 2019, when luxury brands started to phase them out.
The last manufacturer to have them standard was Subaru, through 2023.
You must be a lessee?
My truck never had a CD player. I replaced the head unit with a cassette player with a $30 Walmart bluetooth unit a few years ago, and it's legit the fastest bluetooth connection I own. About a second after it gets power it's linked to the phone.
It's good to own multiple paid-for vehicles.
ThriftBooks has great deals on DVD's and CD's.
...basically, the earth should be warmer.
The bulk of its history it's been a great deal warmer, with higher levels of CO2.

The fact is that that the deep carbon cycle is not at equilibrium, with more carbon coming out of the mantle (through volcanic activity) than carbon going back to the mantle (through subduction).
This is good, because at 150ppm CO2, vegetation fails and everything dies.
