... I just mind the part where its illegal to run a competing service.
Where does it say that?
Indeed, he's completely unpredictable and irrational. He doesn't have a plan, or even a clue that he knows how things work. He's playing his supporters like a drum, light on thought and heavy on emotion.
Trump couldn't give a rats ass about racism, misogyny or just being plain rude.
Of course not, that's how immature and childish he is.
I _am_ a little scared to find out that all that nonsense he spouted was exactly what Republican primary voters wanted to hear, but at least they voted for the guy not using the dog whistle...
What, so blatant racism and bigotry is somehow better than subtle racism and bigotry?
I think I see the real problem here!
Soy why not Bernie? You get all the concern for U.S. workers without the misogyny, bigotry, racism, and sheer idiocy and infantile behavior?
The lazy asses I'm talking about are out there, and you KNOW they are. I don't hate them, because I'd rather just ignore them.
So you're raging against some unseen but ever present entity?
But unfortunately the people in that entitlement culture have politicians scrambling to tell them they're right that people who start businesses are always the villains.
Sounds like a conservative straw man to me.
Which would be funny (since everyone seems to want to find one of those businesses to give them a paycheck), if the hypocrisy wasn't so strong that it confuses people into voting for anyone who promises them free stuff and the spectacle of tearing down Eeeeevil business owners (even as they promise to pay for the free stuff through the ongoing taxing of those they want to destroy - the cognitive dissonance is really something).
Sounds like a persecution complex and seeing the other side through an external tint, if you ask me.
This is such a mindboggling position for people to take. The entire concept of open source is about flexibility but people think it's fine to blindly force one option down everyone's throats, regardless of what they want. It's surreal to watch. We have 9,000 distributions but only One True Init, apparently.
So do your own. The entire concept of open source is flexibility, and absolutely nothing is stopping you. Distros making decisions inherently remove some flexibility for the sake of delivering a functional platform.
And it's annoying
Is it existentially annoying, in that "it's there, and it bothers me" sense or is there a tangible criticism you have against it?
I'm really not sure what problem this was supposed to solve.
Reduced resource usage, reduced system overhead, increased response time, increased manageability, etc.
Everyone talks about fast bootup times, but my servers uptimes are measured in year.
Well, fast (parallel) bootup is one bonus, mostly for desktops, laptops, and embedded platforms. Maybe not for servers, because any with sufficient RAM will spend several minutes in the BIOS doing POST.
But why don't you also support my desire to use the init system that I want to use?
Use a distro that caters to your desires. Not necessarily needs, obviously, since you failed to make against systemd that isn't the same "It's there, and it bothers me" that has been howled for years now.
"Starvation mode" has been shown to be a myth. It comes down to basic math, calories in vs. calories out.
If you eat less and work out more, you lose weight. You do the opposite, you gain.
There's no way for the body to "magically" get fat when eating less. That violates the laws of thermodynamics. Sure, the rate of how quickly you gain or lose weight may change (e.g., when you eat less or change your macros to consume less sugar, you may find yourself being more lethargic in the short term until you get used to it, and so you will burn fewer calories). Or, as you lose weight, you need fewer calories (because there isn't as much of you to support).
But a calorie is a calorie and reducing ~3500 calories results in about 1lb of weight loss. Is it exactly 3500? No. Why? Because there are so many other variables at play. But is it closer to 3500 than, say, 500 or 10,000? You bet.
I would honestly rate Fox News and CNN, which is a very, very low bar, as being more "thorough" than NPR.
Well then we know exactly how worthless your "rating" is.
More so, given everything you've said is entirely subjective with no actual examples of how they've fallen.
2048x1536, but 2D only unless you had a super high end full length PCI/AGP graphics card.
If you're going to troll, could you please at least say something semi-believable?
Just because you hate systemd doesn't mean he's trolling.
I wasn't projecting, and you don't exempt the entirety of the conservative world.
Cause a conservative would never advocate for censorship when it served their purposes, would they?
Oh look, someone stuffing words into the mouths of others!
If only it hadn't been crippled with 256MB of DRAM. Easily the most frustrating part was the system locking up in the browser as you brought it out of sleep and it started paging like mad to the eMMC.
