Well as one of those persons who did development on home computers in the 80s I know exactly how they spread … :) Bootsectors mostly, but there were some that hid themselves in executables too. You copied a disk from a friend, ran it and the virus was then resident in memory until you turned the computer off again. Any new disks you inserted would be at risk of getting infected.

Remove one instance of “internet” from the question and you’ll get serious answers.

This is very true - I usually refer to it as “BOFH behavior”. I think it stems from many people who end up hosting or moderating feeling that they themselves have been marginalised before so “now they’re going to show them!”.

A great example is a Mastodon instance where if you don’t agree with the site’s admin they’ll block you at the server level instead of from their personal account. The belief is that if they have an opinion that opinion must then be enforced for everyone else under their control too.

I drive a Volkswagen ID.7 since soon 2 years now, had a Tesla Model 3 before that. Absolutely love the VW. It’s a “real car” with manual controls where you expect them yet all the modernities you can imagine. The AR HUD is absolutely awesome giving you all the relevant information incl. navigation where you’re looking without having to take your eyes off the road.

There’s a big screen as well though, but it’s not something you have to poke at to do regular stuff as in Teslas.
