VMs provide a meaningful security boundary between applications. Containers (docker, etc) do not.

I've known two respiratory therapists. They spend their days working with people suffering from emphysema and other smoking related ailments. Both of them smoked.

People are weird.

Those aren't tubes, they're whole tubular tires, essentially an integrated tube and tire in one unit that is glued to the rim. Changing a flat first required peeling the old one off before the new tire could be stretched (they fit tight!) onto the rim.

Tubulars are still used regularly by at least one world tour team (French, naturally), but these days a flat is fixed by swapping the wheel or even the whole bike for a spare carried by the team car. That wasn't allowed in the early days.

People on lemmy really seem to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about reddit. Why is that?

Yeah, hopefully. Musk loves pushing boundaries. Eventually you wonder if he pushes too far. As other comments here suggest, though, the one thing he really highlights is the arbitrary nature and general inconsistency of these boundaries. The rules may be written down, but they don't apply equally. It's helpful to be reminded of that sometimes.

Its use of a single letter app name did, too, and we see how quickly they bent the rules to accommodate the name change.
