Sorry but I couldn't agree less.

Deep esoteric research and trivial looking boring research can be as useful as state of the art trending areas.

"Jobs for nerds" as has been stated, has given surprising and unexpected advances, or leveraged incredible advancements.

An standard and boring bacteria in a specific Spanish biome, gave us CRISPR-Cas. There ar hundreds of examples.

True knowledge is, and will be, a human endeavor, deiven by human curiosity. Promoting curiosity is the sign of a developed society.

Ludopaths often try to put on the same level national lotteries with sports betting and other means of information based betting.

Not a fan of lottery myself, but at least it's just some random numbers drawn from a drum. There is hardly any dark pattern or illegal incentive there. It is just you against Thomas Bayes.

No need for huge and complex machines, this is all you need if you have a grocery shop or a coffee shop: https://www.pepebar.com/c/1956-0_thumb/M%C3%A1quinas%20de%20...

You push the white lever and juice comes out. In grocery shops it's customer operated.

Yeah, have a nice day everyone.

No, but it should be open enough to be reasonably independent of specific services and devices.

Classic big. You just have to set the MANIPULATE env var to false in the container. It's true by default.

Diskette or disquete was a popular term in Spain for floppies, both 3 and 5 inches. In fact everyone called the disk drive "disquetera".

But a properly built image is a nice part of a product release.

Building a quality production ready image is not trivial, and it's always welcomed from the vendor.
