Orbstack still seems to rely on docker's virtualization. We need something better than docker to improve on this.
MrRolleyes··on Human microbiome myths and misconceptions
I can't say I've ever considered the ratio of gut bacteria to human cells in my life. I find it difficult to imagine this consideration is itself very prevalent outside of people who are particularly neurotic about gut bacteria.
MrRolleyes··on An antiquated law rules mining in the West
I've got to call bullshit—I can't imagine a for-profit company doing anything out of the kindness of their heart. Planting a few trees for the sake of PR is not the same as responsible stewardship.

Unless, of course, you have evidence you are able to furnish.

It would be very odd for the average person to worry about who coined the term "microbiota", how many bacterial cells there are per gram, the weight of the human microbiota, etc. I'm guessing many of these myths are encountered only in niche communities that nonetheless deserve addressing—I'd guess that most of these myths don't interact with the average or median human.

> Do I fault Apple for being a rational profit maximizing entity

Why not? Seems pretty emblematic of most problems in society. You'd be a fool to not see this. It's not hard to criticize expected failures of a broken system.
