"You want to know why Japan never tried an attack on the US mainland? They knew the citizens outgunned their army 40 to 1."
Bullshit. It was a logistic issue. Admiral Yamamoto noted that they lost the war the moment they attacked Pearl Harbor. Why? Logistics.

Nice quote from someone who never existed. Oh, do you mean Isoroku Yamamoto? He did exist, but he never said that quote.

Just like every other made up fact by the pro gun morons.

I am saying that its design sacrifices robustness in favor of performance and features at every turn. It might be more crashy, but the bigger problem is it ensures you have no usable logs when it crashes. And it doesnt have to be a crash for it to be troublesome, for a single example in the quest for shorter boot times it starts services without making sure that dependencies are actually working - that normally wont cause the entire system to crash but so what?

Still not what I want on my system. I dont really care how long it takes to boot, I just want to make sure that when it's finished it's really finished. Systemd in so many ways copies windows concepts instead - like how they make it supposedly boot faster - by rushing along to draw a GUI before things are actually ready to use.

Not saying systemd is as bad as windows - and the massive improvements in boot speed are not all illusory! but they do come at the cost of reliability and correctness, and that's simply not a good tradeoff for people using the OS in a traditional manner.

t it. They don't seem bad. But what type of person rises to the top in those events?
The same type of person who won't give up power to a stable government.
Basically,you are arming warlords, and not citizenry of a large single government.

".. because that works against our interest in keeping the region destabilized. I.."
I see.

That drive me up the wall. Why have an entry level phone? the manufacturing costs between 16 and 64 is tiny. Why support some many phone types? just make 1 64GB phone.

And I ask the in earnest. What data support the cost of different lines vs/ the cost of all of them being 64GB?

"You don't have to. If you really want your old way then just have journald pass everything along to syslog and it's back to normal."

Unfortunately that's not quite true. You *can* configure systemd to spit out text logs as well as the binaries but that is a delayed process, so in the one case where you MOST want text logs (where a crash has occured with the file open) it's absolutely worthless.
