No clue, but they could use nice.

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.

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.

Borg is amazing but I don’t think it’s a good fit for your case.

Loses? Or lost?

That would regio explain with there are so few matrix servers out there compared to Lemmy or Mastodon.

I once saw a road stop urinal that had a step that forced you to get to the right distance. Genius and simple.

How do you not pee while poopping? I thought all poopoo times were peepee times.
