Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. "Bare metal" is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.

You can either accept that or not, it doesn't change the fact that that's what it now can mean.

It's just what it means in this specific context.

They're not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.

If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

Have you read my comment? It's about where the packages and services are installed.

In this case, they're installed in the container, not on the host

Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms

it's satire

In that case I'm sure they're enjoying their 60 cents per month

You could actually run an actual legit miner on the thing, but yeah, you're not getting ahead your electricity usage.

I don't think even the combined power of all the phones in the plane would be enough to cause interference for anyone

The phone's modem is not powerful enough, it takes a couple watts at most, which is tiiny compared to what a cell tower can output

You don't, but they do. It's a no brainer for them, which the parent comment expressed quite clearly

How else am I gonna have a neat.af domain tho

Yep, fair enough.
