No clue, but they could use nice.

Why would you say anything? The value chasm is so deep as to be impassable.

Deploy periscope!

Claims of Bsky’s federatedness and decentralizedness were greatly exaggerated.

Happens.

It was just a typo. 😁

As opposed to passing drivel on the web even where it’s completely unrelated, because that solves all problems.

Fucking hell. I can’t escape being reminded of this shitstain everywhere, even if I filter political posts.

I’m afraid you answered the wrong comment.

At the workplace?

Great talk indeed. And I will quickly acknowledge that something had to be done, and that systemd had the courage to innovate and address the issues. I just wish it did so in a more transparent way to the end user.

For instance: there’s a whole established system of dealing with logs in place. Why build a separate one just for your init system? Why binary? Why even integrate it with your init? I’m not saying storing everything on /var/log and using logrotate is ideal or even covers all use cases. But a log management system is its own thing.

That’s just an example of how systemd didn’t jive with every other subsystem in a Unix like OS. It could have been done in a Unix way - small cohesive tools that are good at one job and can be combined to do more together.

That’s where I think he missed the mark when dismissing the monolithic criticism by saying “it’s not a single binary so it’s not monolithic”. Its philosophy is monolithic.

That said, I use systemd on my machines because that’s what my do uses and I don’t think it’s a reason to swap distros. For the same reason I use Linux and not a micro kernel. I.e. philosophy is important, but implementation is importanter.

So that’s the story. SystemD feels very Microsofty, though. A big, opinionated, monolith.

Wasn’t the systemd dude a Microsoft employee or something?

Epic?

I started with floppies too, when I bought my copy of Conectiva Linux 3.0. It came with a hefty manual that was instrumental for a newbie like me.

Oh. Right.

No, what you wrote sucks any way you slice it. You try again.

If it happened, but with only two companies it’s so easy for shenanigans to happen. Companies partner up to screw consumers all the time. Harder to pull it off efficiently with more companies.

Unless is a five way split, it won’t really change much.

40 is bad, 42 is when shit starts to happen and 44 is when permanent brain damage starts. I don’t know the equivalent freedom units for these, but it’s something burned in my memory after caring for someone sick. I guess it’s the same for other people: whatever unit you were using when you were responsible for a life is what sticks.
