Nah. Fuck BSD and their license.

Because most of the IT staff isn't anywhere near qualified to be IT staff OR the company actively prevents it's IT staff from doing well. These are companies that will either buy 1 Mac or 3 Windows PCs for the same price. They think 3 PCs is better value. Then they load it up with 3rd party, niche software and drivers that are coded like shit and wonder why it performs like shit.

Patel just kind of proved that the FBI is wasting resources on his girlfriend and I highly doubt the "threat" was in any way credible.

Neither are relevant to factual nature of China's power, skill, and capabilities. Putting people in jail has nothing to do with any of those. It's just a form of fear in an attempt to control the population. They can't imprison everyone. Well, I mean, they can try, but it will backfire spectacularly as it always does.

No, I haven't. There are fossil fuel companies all over the world. They are all the culprits. I could sit here and list probably 50 of them, give or take. I mean if you just want who/where would be first, it would probably be the India or China regions because they have the largest coal producers in the world. Then systematically work down the list. Once done with coal, I'd work on oil.

China is not as powerful, skilled, or capable as they pretend to be.

Any? All? What do you want? A list? Don't come at me like you have some sort of high horse to ride on or that it's futile to try and demand better.

Maybe.

Never works and is never sincere because it is forced via coercion or the fear of it. Fear is a game that only losers play. Fearmongers control the game and those that give into them become loser pawns. Especially when the fearmongers aren't actually as skilled or capable as they pretend to be.

These governments are not as powerful as you think they are.

Only thing in that link is a bunch of whiny crybabies who would rather sit there and polish turds instead of doing something useful.

Just set up a special alternate password that when entered wipes the device. You didn't refuse and it isn't "false or misleading", technically.

Ok, I guess I'll just go murder every single person of middle management or higher at every single oil and coal company, along with anyone who thinks coal and oil are good sources of energy just for good measure. Because they are the problem and the source.

The people/companies responsible for creating the most CO2 literally do not give a flying fuck about you, their children, or the planet. They see an opportunity for short term money gain and they don't care about the sacrifices to get it. Individuals, like you and I, all added together are a drop in the bucket compared to what these companies do.

Hydro, geothermal, biomass.

No. Coal is fucking garbage. Cheap, reliable, easily repeatable fusion is still very far away no matter how much money you pour into it.

And you would be wrong.
