If their share of renewables / nuclear energy were increasing then there would be a decrease in C02 emissions per capita, but that has never been the case even with the increase in announcements in "green" mega projects over the years.
Building an image using nix solves many problems regarding not only reproducible environments that can be tested outside a container but also fully horizontal dependency management where each dependency gets a layer that's not stacked on one another like a typical apt/npm/cargo/pip command. And I don't have to reverse engineer the world just to see what files changed in the filesystem since everything has its place and has a systematic BOM.
Also imagine that the corporations that produce those products are the worse when it comes to corruption through lobbying.
They made exalted ridiculous promises to the public as an excuse to acquire more power for themselves. At the other end of the spectrum, Populism seeks to directly distribute power.
It seems to me the main problem in the US healthcare is not the question if it's public or not but its large insane costs. The fact that other countries produce the same drugs for a small fraction of the price, sometimes pennies, is very telling of how rotten and inefficient the whole system is.
Imagine the price of milk slowly increasing to $100 per gallon over decades, due to greed, regulations, price cartels and speculation, and nobody noticing to ask why. People would probably being to ration milk only for those who need it the most like mothers who can't breastfeed their babies and there would be political pressure to create public milk banks and milk insurance and other public mechanisms. But all of that political energy would not solve the root causes of the problem.

This is why the state determining the truth is so dangerous.
There was also experts on lobotomy who won Nobel Prices. All of whom were assumed to be truthful and knowledgeable and yet was disinformation in its own right.
Links can be "discovered" ad infinitum.
Not being the devil's advocate here, but "online disinformation" is not a credentialed field. That's like calling yourself a "truth expert".
Also the prestigious part is bogus at best. If they are then they sure don't make the headlines often.
I hope it will be ready soon. I'm working in a project that has strict serial communication requirements and it has caused us a lot of headaches.
"People don't run Cargo update willy nilly."
We don't know the same people then. Most devs like to keep their stuff up to date. Auditing the dependencies tree before updating a lock file is like reading a ToS. Most people don't even if they should.The problem of securing the chain of production is not solved with a simple lock file.
