Spoken like a true anonymous coward. I certainly wouldn't want to sign my id alongside that sentiment and mistruth.

You condemn humanity as a species that hates others, yet you yourself display a misanthropic attitude.
I think it's your attitude that colours your perception. Yes, there are humans that kill others, but the vast majority do not. There are cultures that rate sport or musical ability more important than general learning. Then there are many that do not. Humanity is many many things. Focusing on one facet does not reflect the whole.
If an advanced civilization stumbled across us, I think they'd be fascinated by the variety and complexity of the life on this planet. They'd certainly study us. In fact, they may just be doing so now.
Gosh, who woulda thought that Debian Unstable is not stable.
If you don't want to go stable, I suggest you use Debian Testing, which, according to the bug report comments, was not affected.
I've always found it curious that people hit out with the words "fuck you".
It's like saying "You are completely and utterly wrong, and I believe I should have sex with you".
Well, I suppose it does match the philosophy of making love, not war.
Want to encourage the creation of creative works?
It's well known that creativity flourishes with experienced adversity. The irony of the copyright system is that it's actually discouraging this creative seed. Artists are way too comfortable, living off royalties, to knuckle down and start producing stuff.
I say we cut copyright to a bare minimum. A year at max. That'll get those lazy artists off their collective arses, and provide plenty of encouragement to create something at least once per year.
Remember kids, nothing speeds productivity like poverty.
Yeah, like I'm going to click on that link you posted! Can't fool me.
You may have an out of date version of systemd. The "noauto" option works fine for me.
There is Choice. Users can install the systemd-shim package, if they want to use other packages that are dependent on systemd.
Haven't tried it myself, but from all reports, seems to work pretty well.
I think that emacs would make an excellent init system. It does everything else, so why not!
Well, to be fair, there have been lies, manipulations, and propaganda aplenty on both sides.
As for your boot mount issue, the most common issue I've seen people have is with the way systemd treats the fstab file. Systemd will considers _any_ filesystem listed in
It's not necessarily a design flaw. Just a design that is slightly incompatible with the sysvinit way of doing things. Once you understand it, you'll be able to easily cope with this aspect of systemd behaviour.
Well, if you want systemd to leave your entry alone, surely a "noauto" would work. Then you can use a local script to do the mount.
It'd be interesting to see what your logs say when it comes to the point where it tries to mount your system. Perhaps the mount command is returning an error code, even with the "degraded" option set. In which case, perhaps try "nofail" in the fstab options, and see how it behaves with that.
Otherwise, you could remove/comment out the entry from your fstab, and use a native systemd mount config to mount the filesystem. Look at the systemd.mount man page. You'll need to create the config file in
Try adding "nofail" to the fstab entry options for your usb hard disk. Should be fine after that.
Sorry, your words have little weight because you're posting them as an Anonymous Coward. More hypocrisy at show, as far as I'm concerned.
SJW? Hmmm, never heard of that term before. After looking it up, I don't think you've used it correctly.
We each have our breaking point. Anyone will break when subject to a verbal tirade of appropriate intensity. Yes, even you, Mr/Miss AC. It's just as valid a reason as family, health, or job issues.
You are not in a position to call out his character, unless you've experienced what he did. Unless you've volunteered yourself, given up your precious time and effort, for no recompense, and then been insulted, threatened, cursed, and have had every hateful expression thrown at you for your work. You cannot judge, because you just don't _know_.
The fact that there is such a toxic environment is the cause of my worry. That environment is not just in Debian developer circles. Every Slashdot poster, AC or otherwise, that has cheered this decision is a contributor to that poison. Every hater that has posted in any forum is a contributor to that poison. If you have done so, think long and hard about where you want open source software to go. Because if it continues down this path, there will be little future for it, and that's quite sad to me.
The positive thing to do, rather than rant and rave, is to go out and create a better alternative! Create, rather than destroy. I believe that forking is a positive thing to do. At least you're creating something new, which may even have a future, instead of cursing those who are actually trying to do something.
Bizarre reply. There is cowardice, and then there is foolishness. Listing your email address on a public forum would be the latter.
Are you trying to imply that the original AC was _not_ a coward for heatedly attacking a volunteer behind the veil of anonymity?
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
