Thank you for burning down the straw me, because he was getting far too much of my paycheck. But if you continue to tilt at windmills, neither the issues you raise nor the issues others raise will ever get addressed.

But... They might be giants...

I'm sorry that the world is not yet sunshine and light and that we can't just ignore gender issues and sexual orientation issue like we can race issues.

I'm glad you live in a world without fear where all people can stand up and make a stand for what's right and doing so makes all the evil that humans do go away. I do not live in that world. I live in the real world.

In the real world, if you make a stand, you better be ready to get knocked on your ass. Not everyone wants that. In fact, some people have learned not to stand up, because every time they did, they got knocked on their ass. We call these people victims of abuse.

So, we all came together and said "These things are wrong, so we'll punish people who do them." Now not everyone has to take a stand themselves, alone, we can all stand together (or at least enough of us).

So you've blamed the victim and the victim's parents/upbringing. Strangely, an abuse victim had trouble dealing assertively with a new abusive situation.

Thankfully and correctly, you also blamed the perpetrator, and are raising a daughter that will hopefully never find herself in her own personal Kobayashi Maru.

Instead of them printing it, they'll send the instructions to your home maker for a one-time build (or just give you the plans why not?). Instantly.

6/10. You had it until "Trolley McTrollstein". If it had been "Trollface MacTrollerson", you'd get 8/10

That's not a lie detector, it's an empathy detector. Tyrell thought he could give androids empathy by giving them memories, but he was mistaken.

No. Polygraphs measure your involuntary responses. Lying is stressful. Lying to people trying to tell if you're lying even more so. If you believe it, you'll pass the polygraph just fine.

I did not say "All you have to do is." I said "That sounds easy to fix", and it is. Reparenting a process to init is a common idiom (fork + setsid, see `man 2 setsid`). (x)inetd is therefore capable of doing it, it just did not because of the constraints at the time.

I am well aware of modern design patterns, but thank you. Dependency resolution during startup is a great idea, but it is also something that could be saved statically (which is _exactly_ what the management people built around init did) because the startup resolution order only changes when something is added or removed from init. So, somehow, for decades, we got by with the "worse" approach.

I don't see how one would need to install X and ghostscript to get a tty, shell, and ls, unless one was using a distribution build by incompetents.

You expect the government to uphold a civil contract that charges the government $100,000 in order for the government to do its job enforcing the laws the government passed?

Wow.

That sounds like an easily-surmountable technical problem that would leave init simple and delegate this bit to a network-specific thing.

Also, at that point it's not really called a daemon anymore, it's just a program. It's like a CGI script, but for any incoming network connection.

You misinterpret me. Something like inetd would solve this problem without systemd. So whatever happened to (x)inetd?

Init starts a daemon that watches for the event. This is how inetd worked. Whatever happened to that?

And when the public sees how seriously errors of this nature are treated, it may help turn a negative (a bunch of leaked waste) into a positive (but we've got procedures in place to deal with and ensure the issue does not happen again). Anyone remember Deepwater Horizon anymore?

And that is all this is.

Freenet has had it for even longer.
