  • they have actually done studies on conservatives and it turns out they actually like being abused. When the powerful wield their power you are going to be harmed but because you are inline with their goals you will be rewarded. You see it in their religion, you see it in their politicians.

    The problem is all the things they believe in and follow are all grifts. They don't get that if the powers abuse them it's because they are being used.

  • it is not much better than just running a linter over your code.

  • it is definitely a question of power. had a debian based device because it was plugged into mains and needed to do a lot of tasks. i also had a yocto based system that ran on solar pannels and scavenged power from vibrations of the pipes the computer was attached to. power and resources setting limits on what i was running.

  • we are now in an age where history will contain more facts than pesonal views. we have the annual fed reports showing he was bad for the economy. we have all the police and judiciary reports showing all his crimes along with video of him admitting it. and we have archived tweets of him being a fucking moron.

    You can't rewrite history when the internet never forgets.

  • In the northern hemisphere its the worst time of year to travel. bad weather, sickness. kids get off but adults get a day or two. people get worse for so many reasons this time of year and yet you are the asshole for not wanting to deal with it all.

  • it's honestly not that niche. it's just not a use case that hobbiest run into. there is a lot of devices in your house or in your life running linux and you just never think about it. none of the devs of these devices are loud about systemd because we are hand crafting distros ourselves so dealing with scripts in an init system is the least of our worries.

    I have worked on gas meters for your house, refridgerators, two way radios for your car, home automation systems, TVs, gas pumps, A/C controllers. All hand crafted, tiny distros, all things you never see a penguin on but still run linux.

    Systemd has stable API

    yes, now it does as an afterthought. it wasn't a public standard, seeking comment. no taking input from other developers. systemd was created to solve a problem distro were having, a system manager that is plug and play and makes everything just work. it is a good problem to solve, it's one of the few reasons that so many distros exist.

    But there are tons of design choices that had very narrow views. Polkit, logind and the rest of credential management come to mind as something that needs a lot of massaging if you are rolling your own distro. When running a non-systemd distro there are often pain points getting apps and services that need to have a wider reach or interact with other priviledged code. none of it makes the system any more secure, just more of a pain in the ass.

  • For me the portability issue wasn't really solved. I still work on embedded devices where I need to squeeze out every cycle and every byte of memory i can. Running systemd is an automatic no go, but in the *nix way of doing things I do have other options, so that's good.

    But the more people depend on the systemd ecosystem rather than an open standard, the availability for me to use other projects goes down. Again there are usually options, but it's sad to see no one really thought about that when everyone jumped on board.

    I also love the BSDs and other Unix systems. I remember decades ago downloading FreeBSD on my Gentoo box and was able to load the same Gnome desktop on both systems. Two totally different operating systems running the same UI. It sucks that targeting systemd might make software not run on other *nix operating systems

  • honestly i don't know if humans can.

    when you look at stories of (semi)utopian societies there is this drive in nearly all people to be good to a fault. people want to work and learn and do things for the betterment of society. real humans will find a way to be shitty no matter how good they are.

    i think the only way to get things to work is to define a good but rigid stance on all thing shitty. shame the fuck out of stupid religous and political views. anti science and anti facts should cause your voice to be silenced. this wave of stupidity and hate needs to be treated like cancer.

  • It is that damn moral highground the left wants to stick to. They will shoot themselves in the foot over and over and while bleeding out ask "what could we have done?"

    There no longer is a slippery slope. Outlaw the shit republicans do and lock them the hell up. Cuz you know what, they are tryinging their hardest to do the same.

  • This is such a crazy timeline. Everyone knows our president is an ephebophile (pedo into teens). He has flat out stated it. No one is unaware of this fact anymore.

    And yet we live in a system where good people are being deported or tortured in prison camps. We can't have government that actually works because our laws are so fucked up that good people get hurt while we all know a pedo rapist is running the country.

  • A lot, I'd reckon
