It will stop a lot of people from entering random commands they googled up though.

Get your facts straight! I’m not a lemmy ludite, I’m a kbin krazy!
That being said, the whole heat thing does seem to be a thing, even if it’s much less significant than the CO² heating effect and not a super big deal yet.
Isn’t that just a further recipe for disaster? Isn’t that just additional energy that will turn into heat sooner or later and heat up the planet?
If I’m not mistaken regulat solar is one of the few energy sources that doesn’t have that problem and there’s plenty sun to go around, so how is this helping anyone? (I guess it might have some applications in space?)

How does installing packages or configuring software work, if system files can’t be changed?
On reboot. You install your changes into a separate part of the filesystem that’s not running and then “switch parts” on next boot. Different distros do this differently. Vanilla OS has an AB system which basically works like Android does it, openSUSE uses btrfs snapshots and Fedora also uses btrfs I think but they got a more complex layering system on top.
I get that there’s a security benefit just in that malware can’t change system files – but that is achieved by proper permission management on traditional systems too.
Is it though? All it takes is a misconfiguration or exploit to bypass it, so having several layers of protection isn’t a bad thing and how any reasonably secure system works. And having parts of your system predetermined as read only is a comparably tough nut to crack.

They do. The official government line currently is that they have no need to formally declare independence (which might trigger a Chinese invasion) because they already are an independent country by most meaningful measures (which is true of course)
That used to be the official position decades ago. But apart from a few old nationalistic farts maybe, nobody on Taiwan really holds that position anymore.
