Comment Re:Don't like Systemd... fork it. (Score 1) 550

To be fair, as of right now it's only the dependencies of gnome force you to use systemD.
Come the next couple of versions though gnome's entire desktop environment will be dependent on systemD, why?

Tropes are not evil or negative.
Calling them as such is like saying grammar causes violence, or spelling teaches boys to rape.

Don't forget these are the same people who decried NASA on their obsession on safety calling it government over spending.

Don't mind me. I am just sitting here, amused, as i watch these people relearn the same lessons that NASA and the Soviet space program learned over 50 years ago because they believe that their 'free market' 'privately run' space program by some magic makes them immune to the same problems.

OpenBSD market share drops as it no longer supports third party hardware. Former OpenBSD users migrate FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD where they can load the drivers for their raid cards and other server hardware that is not yet in the BSD mainline kernel.

This decision is almost as dumb as the unquestioned adoption of SystemD in linux..

Have you read a sports page lately?
If you have then you read the future of all newspapers, the sports page now is mostly written by software engines.
It won't be long till the rest of the newspaper is as well.

Except for the mail in opinion pieces, it will take an ai to handle the double think and such.
