Oh!

When I click any of these links, I get an error.....

Works well*.

Oh.

I understood that. But I don't see how you came down to this conclusion simply because someone put Linux inside Linux.

When you put matryoshka russian dolls one inside the other, do you also think "man, we live in a simulation"?

Technically, yes. But the article already mentioned the amount of effort for the brute force to succeed (that is, practically never, if the phrase is truly random.)

But anyway. With regular passwords, the attackers already have a list: the alphabet plus numbers and symbols. Not really that different.

My interpretation of impact includes both positive and negative sentiments.

Whereas you are saying that a negative thing doesn't count as impact.

Yes.

Not that I don't disagree with you, but how did you come down to this conclusion?

You are making a red-herring argument.

The post's question is: "What technology made the most impact in modern times?"

A poster says "Chemical fertilizers" and detailed the reasons.

And then you come in and say "NU-UH, IT DESTROYS THE PLANET!!!" an argument that has nothing to do with the question.

You can see this in the U.S. as well.

In many parts of the world, though, I wouldn't say cars per se, but definitely public transportation. A lot of people can't afford cars in the world, and they still benefit from the invention of the internal combustion engine.

its* polarization (or polarisation, in your part of the world.)
