A primary would have been a disaster. We would have for sure ended up with a candidate notably worse than Harris. Don't forget the people who pushed Biden wanted Shapiro or fucking Newsom or someone. It wasn't gonna be Bernie Sanders, that's for fucking sure. I am suddenly seeing a lot of people calling for an open primary and i can't imagine what the fuck those people would have thought would happen, there.
We were kinda stuck with Harris. The problem lies with her and with her backers, who failed to provide an attractive alternative to Trump.
That is a flaw. Flatpak is great where it works but Flatpak doesn't solve all problems, neither does any one solution except os level modification. It can be a last resort by it should be a last resort that works. The layering system could be put together such that you don't get side effects of installing packages like that. It might be tough to fix but that doesn't make it not a flaw.
The big problem with the way ostree works is that installing things has side effects. Every item you install with ostree makes all future items slower to install, including regular os updates. This is a significant flaw in the way they designed it and really makes immutable oses less attractive.
Immutable is fantastic in theory. Where it falls apart is having to basically rebuild the whole distro every time you want to make a change. It should be there your base distro is immutable, then any extra changes go on an additional mutable layer but that would be difficult to set up. (You'd need a package manager like Nixos or something.)
There are hundreds of Linux developers, including companies like Red Hat, Intel, IBM, Google, and more. You want all these people to up and move to... where? Somewhere. Russia, or a Russian ally presumably but hell if i know. Anyway you want them all to move so a handful of people working for Russian weapons manufacturing companies can keep maintaining pieces of the Linux kernel?
Switzerland is currently sanctioning Russia. Let me say that again to be clear: moving to Switzerland, the most neutral country in the world, will not prevent you from having to abide by sanctions against Russia.
You're right, the goal of getting to the moon and scale of the effort was much bigger than putting satellites into space, even if they've put a lot of satellites into space. They had to invent crewed rockets. Nobody knew how to take an explosion and put a human person on top of it and surf that up to space, then people figured out how. Without that work, SpaceX (and friends) would not exist now.
How many commercial space flight programs landed on the moon? SpaceX was founded in 2002, over two decades ago. It had decades of public engineering data and knowledge to build on. In 1957, Sputnik made it to space, the first artificial satellite in the history of Earth. In 1969, humans landed on the moon.
I, too, do not want to be deleted out of existence by the US government/military and so i, too, comply with sanctions.
We have reason to believe Linus and the kernel team are not filling the kernel with government back doors (for the thing, there's a high chance someone notices and makes it public that such code was put into the kernel by one of them). Linus has talked about refusing to do this in the past. However, it's no surprise they're not willing to risk the whole project for a handful of people working for Russian weapons manufacturers.
