Indeed. Same here. With decent public transportation, a car is far more hassle than it is worth. And even if you have to pay for delivery of some things occasionally, that is still far cheaper than owning and maintaining a car. I had a car-sharing subscription for a year and found that I did not need it even once.

They are also a fail on a different level: Rubber balloons hold air under far higher pressure than hot-air balloons, so these are not even comparable if the volume aof a party balloon was somehow a defined quantity.

Use k/G/T/E/... for SI and ki/Gi/Ti/Ei... for IEC. Peopls not following standards have no business expecting that anybody understands what they are talking about. Really, do not blame your cluelessness on me, blame it on yourself.

You are of course right about the useless units, like miles, gallons, stones, etc.

What happened to actual units like cubic-meters? Too difficult for slashdot? Or is the number to small and just shows that "Google engineering" is not nearly as impressive as some people want it to look?

That is indeed the most plausible explanation...

Are you mentally challenged? Because anybody that even has to ask that question is likely not capable to understand the answer.

Indeed. Maybe in a few years, it will have reached the level of stability to be rightfully considered as _alternate_ init system, but at this time systemd has no business being considered anything but experimental.

Why ever would systemd opponents be interested in fixing systemd's defects? That makes no sense at all. There are well working init-systems. There is no need for systemd. There are good reasons against it. Why is it even considered a valid alternative at all?

If the systemd movement was sane, that is exactly what would happen. Instead they have the total confidence and unshakable faith in their chosen fetish that otherwise only religious fanatics have. From the time I realized this, I have lost all respect for them and all motivation to argue the case: These people are not sane or rational. They do not want choice or freedom. They do not listen to arguments, no matter how accurate or justified. They want their thing to be the only thing allowed and though shalt not have any other thing. They are the enemy and must be fought.

Indeed. Basically they voted to keep this unresolved for the moment. Of course, the systemd fanbois want to sell this as a victory for their side.

Unfortunately, you summary is accurate. I still do not understand how these people could creep in. The sheer magnitude of resistance should give them pause and reconsider whether they may be doing something wrong. Instead: Total confidence, absolutely no acknowledging of problems, no interest at all in compromise. It it is almost like arguing with religious fanatics...

Seems things are really going down the drain. Citizens are getting morphed into slaves, essentially.

So? And what part of your definition is inconsistent with my statement? I frankly do not see any...
