I work in IT for a large healthcare system that runs its EMR (electronic medical record) entirely through Citrix. So yes, yes we are using thin clients. And so is our largest competitor.

Aren’t anecdotes fun, my sweet summer child? You shouldn’t speak with such authority when you have no idea what you’re talking about.

None of your examples actually have anything to do with human rights. At best they’re using the concept in bad faith as a shield for imperialism and genocide, and that’s what you should be critical of.

Survivorship bias is a helluva drug.

Yes in the sense that ending a war is good, but this is absolutely a loss. We’re now AT BEST where we were with the previous treaty minus $300,000,000,000 and a lot of lives. Starting this at all was a loss, ending it is only stopping the damage from getting worse.
