I love that actually. It doesn't happen often, but when it does I go “hold on, A, you're trying to say x, but B understands y, whereas B tries to say v and you understand w”
Always leads to the most flabbergasted double stare when they realize I'm 100% right and they'd have talked past each other for hours.
Sometimes with an undertone of “but I wanted a fight” by one of them.
Yeah, but their inversion is representative of them as a person: intrusive thoughts are a reinforcement mechanism; your brain telling you what's inappropriate. This form of Tourette’s makes you act on your (verbal) intrusive thoughts.
This means the slurs indicate that he's not a racist. A racist with this form of Tourette’s would not consider slurs the epitome of inappropriate behavior.
You missed the point: I quoted and linked to contemporary decision making because it illustrates that there's no “strongarming” necessary if something is the only game in town.
Sysvinit was no longer doing the trick, Upstart wasn't architecturally sound, OpenRC wasn't a serious contender at that point either: they could adopt systemd or wait for a few years in case some alternative would come along.
That's why your framing doesn't make sense to me: it implies that there was some sort of choice that Big Init was trying to stack the cards for, but there wasn't at that point.
No, see the reasoning why distros switched, e.g. Debian or Arch. TL;DR: technical merit, no good alternatives existed at the time, as evidence by how the Arch maintainer paraphrased the average systemd critic:
I think there might be this other project that possibly is doing something similar. I don't really know anything about it, but I'm pretty sure it is better than systemd.
Would the landscape be more diverse if other people would have built someone when Poettering first announced systemd? Probably! Did anyone do it? No! OpenRC wasn't a fully fledged alternative back then, Upstart had fundamental design flaws.
But does anyone regret adopting systemd? Also no! Everybody is happy. It's robust, it works, it makes admin lives easier. Users no longer have to deal with zombies, slow boots, and unnecessary services running.
Analog, and what really matters for analog signal is if the wire carries load or not.
Like a phono cable from a record player or a analog signal cable from an old sound card matters, but it doesn't matter how you send the amplified signal to the passive speakers.
This means if you have a HDMI cable going into a decent AVR and speaker cables coming out, you basically can't do anything wrong.
That's weird, other package systems have that solved by recompiling the kernel as a post-update hook that the update command waits for before exiting.
Seems like a bug that fedora's packaging system doesn't work like that.
I guess it'll be a thing of the past when all systems use the new open source Nvidia driver, but there are still a lot of GPUs out there that aren't supported by it.
It's sole reason to exist is “no systemd because we hate it” (their tagline is literally something childish about “real init systems”) and they're willing to drop GNOME and friends on a dime for that goal.
Choosing Artix is like choosing some fork that differentiates itself by refusing to package vim for some reason.
That'll do it. The work might be impressive, but why care about a project that has one purely spite-driven goal that makes no technical or social sense?
It uses real init systems
What a completely childish tagline. Even if there was any merit to all the systemd hate, calling it “not a real init system” is absurd.
They stopped supporting GNOME based desktops and treat that in the most “sour grapes” way imaginable …
Yeah, as long as it made any sense to browse the web without JS. These days you need at least an allow list.
