Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.

You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.

It’s just what it means in this specific context.

They’re not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.

If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

Have you read my comment? It’s about where the packages and services are installed.

In this case, they’re installed in the container, not on the host

Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms

In that case I’m sure they’re enjoying their 60 cents per month

You could actually run an actual legit miner on the thing, but yeah, you’re not getting ahead your electricity usage.

It’s unfortunately not as simple as that, the government has to be really careful upsetting essential companies like defense contractors, as the military just straight up needs them (for new projects but also spare parts, fixes,…).

It’s not a good relationship.

Edit: I definitely don’t disagree with you though, stuff like this just shouldn’t happen.

Of course it’s a choice, it’s a settlement. They could’ve refused and gone to court, where they probably would’ve ended up paying a lot more in fines (and legal fees)

Yeah let’s go scorched earth on one of the most important military contractors.

“cannot possibly” is your opinion, it’s just not a fact. Look at how hard they’re trying to ban it, it clearly matters a lot to some ppl for some reason

Not sure how that’s a gotcha, sure, a court, has the same weight either way

But that’s an opinion, isn’t it? We all don’t have the same opinions, that’s why politics is a thing?

Maybe transcare hurts someone’s feelings, you might not agree with that, but we live in a world where their opinion matters, too, for better (or in this case) for worse.

I had no idea, thanks for the info

If a court decides to interpret a law some way or another, it’s because the law’s wording allowed for some leeway.

That’s on the lawmakers.

Let’s take it from the other side.

Should I have the liberty to not pay taxes? The liberty to dump my garbage into a lake? The liberty to burn a forest down?

You’re flexing words into meanings that suit you, but if they actually were possible to be interpreted this widely, it’d be chaos.

Right to healthcare or the right of privacy in healthcare?

The law on the ban for youth care was challenged in court, the courts decided the law is not against the constitution, and so it can take effect.

Where they constructed a right for healthcare out of the word liberty.

You’re making massive leaps
