Today, 700 million people live in extreme poverty (defined as living on less than $2.15 per day). They won’t climb out of it without access to more energy. Making as much energy as possible available to as many people as possible ought to be a defining goal of the 21st century.

And what energy sources can be safely and cheaply deployed in Burundi, Somalia, Liberia etc? Nuclear or solar?

Tim Gregory is a nuclear chemist at the UK National Nuclear Laboratory

I see.

Another option: high speed trains

oh no sorry, it’s US

This is plain false.

No. The total amount of money available for energy research and construction is a given amount. If it’s better spent on solar and wind that’s it.

Ada SPARK is not dying at all, it’s growing. It is used where formal proof is required like and Rust is nowhere near that!

What matters is the important stuff like deciding what package format to use, how to handle the biggest bugs, default filesystem, systemd or not, and who gets to decide all this stuff and so on. Some distros follow the company decision and some do not. Get it?

Pretty much zero for most users

In contrast to Debian (through Canonical), Fedora (through Red Hat) and openSUSE (through SuSE), Arch has literally no (in)direct ties to enterprise.

LOL Fedora and opensuse are copying from the commercial distros, but Debian is not copying Ubuntu (literally the opposite)

“application”, not “app”. Please don’t let phone tech companies enshittify our language.
