It's not always the same button. My Circle K doesn't have those big screens thankfully.

The T-Mobile Sidekick had a full browser in 2002 and was wildly popular with younger people.

A large part of DangerOS's architecture was later used to create Android.

The US occupied Japan

Only until 1952. Everything you're saying sounds like a strawman argument.

I thought Rust already had several different methods for interacting with C++? I'm not sure what actual roadblocks there are to developing KDE apps with it?

My understanding is that after the war, the US agreed to defend Japan. And Japan is still allowed to defend itself against others too. I don't understand how what you're saying is related at all.

So blown out of proportion. Nobody is saying to stop using them. The report is more of a state of the union on software in secure systems and the talking points hinge on the most common type of vulnerability seen in large scale attacks: memory safety.

The report (which apparently barely anyone is reading) mentions C/C++ aren’t memory safe (truth) and with specific respect to space flight, alternatives such as Rust haven’t been proven yet. Both languages meet other important criteria (again specific to space flight) but it then immediately states afterwards that until other languages can be qualified, other means of ensuring memory safety are recommended such as hardware. The report makes other mentions. It’s a good read but is not a directive like media is making it.

I'm not sure what your apprehension is... it's not like they are forcing it on Japan against their will...

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in 2023 paved the way for their arrival to conduct training programs for troops on Taiwan's front line.

100% legal.

We know... but people do not all use the same definition of that word.

What do you mean by "isn't an issue"? You still need a dedicated GPU for the VM.

There are indeed many applications and games that still don't run under wine for all different kinds of reasons. And the windows-on-linux virtualized GPU solutions for VMs are still not mature enough to work for many apps, so unfortunately for those people, their only choice is a physical GPU passthrough VM.
