  • That's why they make sense in code and config files. JSON is neither, despite the insistence of far too many people to write configuration in it.

    Oh no

  • 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.

  • systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success

  • 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.

  • Here we go again with the conspiracy bullshit

  • Stephen Colbert’s unaired James Talarico interview hits 6.4 million YouTube views and results in $2.5 million raised for Talarico’s campaign in 24 hours

  • Democrats wouldn't have destroyed all these institutions, some of which area vital for a big number of humans to survive.

    You know. Small difference.

  • Radioactive waste storage.

    I do think that goal power plants need to be turned off before nuclear ones, but neither is sustainable.

  • Everything's fine. Nothing to see here.

    Jump

  • Yeah. Trust is also a thing, like if you delegate to a person that you've seen getting the job done multiple times before, you won't check as closely.

    But this person asked to verify and was told not to. Insane.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • 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.

  • GUIs

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Dude-tier list

    Jump

  • 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 …

  • Taste the flavor

  • Numbing kind of, but it more feels like vibration or “buzzing”, it's hard to describe

    All I'm saying that asking for abuse to happen would make one complicit in it happening no matter how actively one could participate in the abuse afterwards.

    It's quite a simple concept really. It's while charges starting with “conspiracy to …” exist.

  • I'm not implying anything specific, I'm saying that if he wanted, he could have done a lot of things by meeting people who would make it happen for him.

    He cheated on his wife with his nurse, that's why they separated.

    Needing support for it doesn't mean you won't be able to hurt people.
